Many horse owners will have experienced the time consuming process of having to hose down an injury to take the heat and swelling out. Cold hosing is proven to have a beneficial effect. However, adding Cryochaps to the injury routine will give an extra cold hit. In addition to this, the compression can help target the inflammation. Our compression ice boots for horses provide both ice and compression to help relieve pain caused by leg injuries.

Cryochaps compression ice boots for horses cover major ligaments and tendons from the proximal suspensory ligament right down to the suspensory branch and annular ligament.

Cryochaps ice boots are a great idea for every horse owner’s medical kit. They have been designed to be symmetrical so they will fit any leg. Please seek advice from your vet before using Cryochaps for injury.
