Horse Boots: Ice Boots
The high-quality Bar-F Equine Ice boots are made from neoprene to insulate and promote cooling cold therapy to the lower leg or knee of your Horse. Aids in the reduction of swelling, heat and pain caused by inflammation, stress and fatigue of the joints, tendons and ligaments. Tailored to hold crushed ice evenly along the length of the tendons and around the fetlock joint. Easy to apply.
The process of Cold Horse Therapy works this way; first, the cold temperature helps to decrease blood flow to the injured area. This reduced blood flow helps minimize swelling and inflammation, dissipate heat and alleviate pain. At the same time, cold therapy slows the metabolism of the tissue surrounding the injury, which helps minimize further damage and speed healing. Used properly, cold therapy can help improve a wide range of muscle, joint and soft tissue injuries on the Horse.
