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.

Horse Polo Wraps

Published by under Horse Leg Wraps,Polo Wraps

Bar F offers Polo Wraps made from only the finest materials, to ensure the comfort and safety of your sporting horse. Our Polo Wraps offer support and protection for your horse, and they have a variety of uses.

Polo Wraps Are Used For:

  • Riding: Polos may also be used while riding, most commonly on dressage horses or while schooling show hunters or show jumpers. The jumpers and equitation divisions permit the use of polos in competition, however, most riders opt for boots, as they provide better protection.
  • Longeing: Polos are also commonly used during longeing.
  • Turnout: Some people turn their horses out in polos, although they must take care that the horse is not turned out in a wet pasture and that the polos are well secured.
  • Shipping: Horses are sometimes shipped in polos for protection. However, shipping bandages or shipping boots provide much better protection, and are therefore preferable.

Sometimes a horse cannot wear boots if sensitive to neoprene or have cuts that would be rubbed; in these cases Polo Wraps would be used. Polo Wraps are also used in instances when the horses leg has scar tissue which may cause a horse boot from fitting properly; in these instances a Horse Polo Wrap is used as they will conform to the horses leg perfectly. In addition Polo Wraps are used for Ponies and horses of any size, so they can be useful in that manner too.
