Medicine/vet Wraps- Just as they are, wraps that contain medicine. these can be put in the freezer, heated, injected with herbs, etc. to make a horses aches go away or help them feel better. Tendon Wraps/Boots- Help protect the tendons of the horse and helps protect other areas of the leg. Applied with Velcro or buckles. I would recommend tendon boots over polos. they protect better and look better and tidier in my opinion! :D Hope this helps!

Do calves wrap around your leg when they grow stronger?
No. Calves are the large muscles on the back side of your lower leg. They can grow and shrink, but they will never wrap around to the front.

Muscles are connected to bones by tendons, and in order for a muscle to actually wrap around a leg, it would have to disconnect a tendon and somehow move it around to the other side.
