Description
We have developed the Cryochaps Absolute Wrap ice wraps for horses to mimic ice bath therapy, otherwise known as cold water immersion or cryotherapy. Icing is commonly used among human athletes recovering from exercise. Furthermore, it is also an established practice when dealing with an injury. The Cryochaps cooling horse leg wraps have been designed to help in the rehabilitation after injury and be part of your horse’s everyday cool-down routine.

Why You Need the Cryochaps Absolute Wrap
Lower leg injuries are a common occurrence in horses. Horses often have knocks out in the field or stable, and injuries can also occur during schooling sessions or out hacking. Humans have bred domestic horses to be faster, more agile and more supple. They also undertake much more fast work than their wild ancestors. However, their limbs do not always cope with having to balance 400kg of bone and muscle on their legs.
Cryochaps have designed the Absolute Wrap to help cool the hocks, pasterns and knees after exercise. They have been designed to form part of an everyday cool-down routine, with a focus on post-exercise recovery and injury prevention.
Our cooling boots are also ideal for providing ice and compression following an injury as they may help speed up the healing process and reduce pain.
