So my vet has suggested putting bandages on sox in the field aswell as in the stables. He is very accident prone and I am slightly worried about this. Have you ever put bandages on for turnout?

No not bandages but I have used turnout boots. Not sure how well bandages would fare with mud etc?
I have but only as a temp measure, I wouldnt be keen to do it long term, esp come winter when they would just end up wet and caked in mud. Why is he suggesting it? I mean what he hoping to prevent?
we use turnout boots, they give protection and support without risk of coming off or causing skin issues due to ground condtionds - they are worth the investment -
The equilibrium hardy chaps are great. I've used the PE sports boots/Keifer sports boots for purposes. Never bandages as I'd be too worried about them getting wet and coming off.
Boots and bandages should only be used for 12 hours at a time max. I have used turn out boots for Chanter and they were great but I would then not bandage or wraps at night
