  2. A Kimzey Leg Savers splint
  3. A compression bandage

Explanation
Answer: A - A Robert Jones bandage with 2 splints at 90-degree angles is the best immobilization for a horse with a fracture to the third metacarpal bone. This bandage consists of multiple layers of sheer cotton compressed by gauze. This type of fracture is particularly unstable, and the Robert Jones splint provides stability to the joints above and below the fracture.
