Anatomeq Support Polos: Which one is right for your horse?
Not all polo wraps are designed equally. Before you write off polo wraps for good - take a look at our Support Polo Collection. We've created four polo styles - each with breathability and your horse's comfort at the forefront.
Here's a quick guide to help you choose the right one for your horse.

Key points
- AirSupport: The most support, in a lightweight, low-profile wrap.
- SoftSupport: The most impact protection, plus use as a cold-water bandage.
- LiteSupport: The easiest to wrap, with a terry cotton layer.
- CoolSupport: The performance combi polo, suited for sensitive legs.
AirSupport Polos: lightweight support
If you want maximum support without the bulk, the AirSupport is for you. Its seamless air channel elastic offers the most support and highest stretch, while promoting airflow and heat dissipation. AirSupports are a great choice for horses that overheat easily, and for owners and riders looking for a "track bandage" style elastic polo. AirSupports have the least impact protection out of the Anatomeq polo collection, but can be used with bandage liners, such as our PoloPillows bandage liners, for added protection.
SoftSupport Polos: cushioning and cooling
Made from 3D spacer fabric, the SoftSupport gets its name by offering the most cushion and impact protection in the collection. SoftSupport polos are also extremely breathable, moisture-wicking and quick to dry, making them well suited for horses prone to stocking up or with skin issues such as vasculitis, dermatitis and other sensitivities. SoftSupports have less support and stretch than our elastic polos, and are best suited for flatwork, lunging, rehab and cold water therapy. SoftSupports double as a cold-water bandage, with 10 to 15 minutes of cooling effect. Simply soak the wraps directly on the leg with the cold hose.
LiteSupport Combi Polos: easy, everyday wrapping
The LiteSupport is a combi polo with a soft terry cotton layer against the leg. Its air channel elastic exterior has the same stretch as the CoolSupport, while the terry cotton layer has limited stretch. Together, they make the LiteSupport the easiest polo in our collection to wrap evenly, with a low profile against the leg. LiteSupports offer moderate impact protection, and are less wicking and quick-dry than SoftSupport and CoolSupport polos. LiteSupport polos are well suited for everyday schooling, flatwork and light jumping.
CoolSupport Combi Polos: built for performance
The CoolSupport is our performance combi polo, designed for jumping and training where support and impact protection are key. CoolSupports pair the same air channel elastic as the LiteSupport with a cushioning 3D spacer fabric layer, adding protection without inhibiting airflow. They're a bit thicker on the leg, but wick sweat and dry faster than the LiteSupport's terry cotton layer, keeping the leg drier. CoolSupports are ideal for warm and humid weather, horses that sweat easily, and horses prone to stocking up or with skin issues such as vasculitis, dermatitis and other sensitivities.
Still deciding?
Choosing between the LiteSupport and CoolSupport? It comes down to the inner layer. Go with the LiteSupport for a slimmer, easier-to-wrap everyday polo, or the CoolSupport when moisture management and impact protection matter most.
Choosing between the SoftSupport and CoolSupport? The SoftSupport is ideal for flatwork, rehab and post-ride care, while the CoolSupport offers more stretch and support for jumping and harder training.
Whichever you choose, all four Anatomeq polos offer some stretch, are dirt and hair repellent and machine washable. Each pair comes with a complimentary wash bag and is available in OS/ Horse size, suitable for both front and back legs.
