∙ 11y agoStrapping (Also called Banging or wisping) is where you firmly smack a wisp down on the horses neck, shoulders, and hind quarters ( Avoiding the loin and bony areas.). You can make a wisp out of twisted hay or straw or buy a ready made leather strapping pad, You can also sew your own if you know how. If the horse has never been strapped before, you should start with only a few smacks on each side, about 5 will do to start. You need to hold your hand flattish and raise it up to where the horse can see it and bring it down firmly onto the large muscle groups, it should make a loud thud or banging sound. This should cause the horse to flinch and tighten up it's muscles. Then you can rub over the muscle with a cloth or sheepskin mitt to smooth out the hair and relax the horse. You should do this everyday until you are up to about 45 minutes of strapping the horse. The horse may appear sore after the first time or two, but will become used to it over time. Strapping is known to help with muscle development and helping to add a bloom to the coat.
