My horse's leg is wrapped. How do I know if it's too tight?

Question

Hi, so my horse has a cut on his lower leg and I have to wrap it quite a bit, and I get paranoid about doing it too tight. How much should I worry about it and how can I easily and obviously know if its too tight? thanks! Pet's info: Farm Animal | Horse | Male | neutered | 22 years and 3 months old

Great question! It should be a worry that you wrap Hunter's leg too tightly, and you should be able to fit a finger between the bandage and his leg. If you can't do that, then it's too tight. I hope this helps :-)
