Protect your horse’s hard-working tendons and accelerate recovery with the industry-standard Professional’s Choice Ice Boots. Whether you’re cooling down after a grueling cross-country round or managing a soft tissue injury, these boots provide the concentrated cold therapy needed to reduce inflammation and keep your equine athlete performing at their peak.

Engineered for the rigors of the barn and the show circuit, these boots feature a heavy-duty insulated neoprene exterior that traps the cold where it matters most. Unlike stiff ice packs that leave gaps, the multi-pocket gel system remains pliable even when frozen, ensuring a custom-contoured fit that wraps securely around the fetlock and tendons for maximum therapeutic impact.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Insulated Neoprene Exterior: The heavy-duty outer layer acts as a thermal barrier, keeping the internal gel pockets colder for significantly longer durations than standard wraps.
• Flexible Multi-Pocket Gel System: Features approximately 15 individual gel pockets that stay soft and pliable when frozen, allowing the boot to contour tightly to the horse's unique leg shape.
• Smooth Nylon Lining: The slick interior protects sensitive skin from direct ice burn while ensuring that dirt, shavings, and hair do not stick to the boot during use.
• Integrated Suspensory Strap: A specialized strap design ensures that therapeutic cold reaches the critical fetlock and pastern areas effectively.
• Heavy-Duty Adjustable Fit: Equipped with secure hook-and-loop closures; the Standard size features 3 straps, while the Large size utilizes 4 straps for maximum stability on larger-boned horses.
• Complete Therapy Set: These boots are sold in pairs and include a durable mesh carrying bag for easy transport to events and organized storage in the tack room.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the best fit for my horse?
A: To achieve the most effective therapy, prioritize the circumference of the leg over height; the boot should ideally have a 0.5" to 1.5" overlap around the fetlock. While the Standard size fits most horses (15.2hh to 16.1hh) on the front legs, we recommend sizing up to Large for hind legs or for larger-boned warmbloods to ensure full coverage.

Q: How can I maximize the cooling effect during a therapy session?
A: For professional-grade results, wet your horse's legs with cold water before application to help the cold penetrate the hair coat more effectively. Apply the boots for the recommended 20–30 minutes post-workout to "heat-sink" the tendons and prevent inflammatory damage.
