Give your equine athlete the ultimate recovery advantage with comprehensive cold therapy that targets vital structures from the knee or hock down to the pastern. Whether you are pulling heat after a high-impact run or managing a rehabilitation program, these boots provide the professional-grade cooling necessary to protect your horse's tendons and ligaments. Engineered with the elite standards Professional’s Choice is known for, these boots feature a heavy-duty neoprene exterior that serves as a powerful thermal barrier, locking in the cold for extended 20-to-30-minute sessions. Inside, fifteen individual gel pockets remain flexible even at sub-zero temperatures, ensuring the therapeutic cooling contours perfectly to the unique shape of your horse's leg for maximum surface contact and deep-tissue relief that standard ice boots simply cannot match. Key Features & Specifications: Comprehensive Full Leg Coverage: Available in Standard (26" tall) and Large (28" tall) sizes to provide simultaneous cooling for the knee, hock, cannon bone, and fetlock. 15 Flexible Gel Pockets: Each boot contains fifteen individual pockets filled with a non-toxic solution that stays pliable when frozen, ensuring a custom, contoured fit against the leg. Insulated Neoprene Exterior: The thick, heavy-duty neoprene shell acts as a thermal insulator, trapping the cold against the skin and extending the duration of the cryotherapy session. Debris-Resistant Nylon Lining: The smooth interior lining protects the horse's skin from "ice burn" while preventing arena dirt, wood shavings, and hay from sticking to the boot. Heavy-Duty Elastic Straps: Equipped with multiple elastic hook-and-loop closures that provide a secure, adjustable fit for horses between 14 and 17 hands, preventing the boots from sliding. Portable Mesh Carrying Bag: Sold as a pair and includes a convenient mesh bag, making it easy to transport the boots to shows or keep them organized in your tack room cooler. Frequently Asked Questions: Q: How do I determine if I need the Standard or Large size?A: The Standard 26" height is generally best for horses under 15 hands or those with shorter legs. The Large 28" height is recommended for horses 16 hands and over, or for riders who want to ensure the cooling therapy reaches well above the knee or hock joints. Q: Can these boots be used on both the front and hind legs?A: Yes, the universal design allows these boots to be used effectively on either the front legs (covering from the knee down) or the hind legs (covering from the hock down) to manage inflammation and "stocking up" across all disciplines. Q: How can I make the cold therapy session more effective for my horse?A: For the best results, wet your horse's legs with water before applying the boots. This significantly increases thermal conductivity, allowing the cold to penetrate deeper into the tendons and ligaments for more efficient recovery. Item Number/SKU: IBF-200
