Polo wraps are intended for use as a leg support, like splint boots. However they can be used for shipping boots in a pinch, though they may come undone and possibly cause the horse to get entangled in them. It would be best to use leg quilts and standing wraps if you have them or invest in shipping boots which are far easier to apply correctly.

Why do horses wear polo wraps?
People place polo wraps on horses in order to protect their legs. Because a horse has no muscles in its lower legs (only bones and tendons), it is very easy for them to damage their legs. Any damage to legs can take a while to heal and if severe enough could actually cripple a horse.Because polo wraps are usually a thick cotton or fleece like material, they protect the horse from knocks that they may cause with their own hooves (like if they step on their back legs while running). Polo wraps must be properly placed on the horse though. If they are wrapped too high or too low on the leg, they can cause damage. If they are wrapped too tight, they can cause damage and if they are wrapped the wrong direction (clockwise), they can put too much pressure on the tendon and damage it!
