Description
Premier Equine Cold Water Boots
- Invented and designed by PE Sport & Technical to help prevent/ reduce swelling, cool tendons after exercise/ competition or for treating injuries.
- PE Sport has had huge success in helping sports horses & racehorses with Magnet & Infrared technology, by combining compression & pressure techniques.
- Founded on the principle of contouring and shaping, the anatomical design delivers a cold cushioned therapy treatment to the tendon & fetlock areas.
- Elasticated straps advance the treatment by allowing tension to be applied during fastening, adding an element of compression to intensify the treatment and enhance results.
- Cold Water Boots are a brilliant and easy alternative to cold hosing your horse’s legs.
- They are full of micro-crystals which turn into a gel when soaked in water.
- The gel forms a soft cushion which is comfortable against the horse’s skin.
- Anatomical design allows horses to be walked around whilst wearing the boots; no need to stand still.
- Cold Water Boots are a great idea for reducing swelling, cooling tendons after exercise or treating injuries.
Recommendations
- After hard work the Cold Water Boots should be applied for around 20 minutes.
- For extra cold treatment place ice or ice packs in the bucket of water that they are being soaked in.
- The colder the water, the colder the boots.
- For a maximum cold effect, place the Cold Water Boots straight from the ice water into a bag and leave in the fridge for one hour, this will provide a 3-5 minute initial blast of cold on the horse’s leg.
- Never freeze Cold Water Boots.
Using Cold Water Boots for injury:
- Apply at least 6-7 times a day and use for no longer than 20 minutes at a time.
- After 20 minutes the heat of the horse’s leg will naturally start to heat up the Cold Water Boots.
