Protect your horse’s career and ensure rapid recovery after every high-impact session with the industry-leading Professional’s Choice Ice Boots. These all-in-one therapy boots eliminate the stress of inflammation, delivering deep-tissue cooling that targets tendons and ligaments when it matters most.

Engineered for the rigors of performance horses, these boots feature a specialized "all-in-one" design that integrates 15 to 24 individual gel pockets directly into a thermal neoprene shell. Unlike stiff ice wraps that leave gaps, the Professional’s Choice formula remains pliable even at sub-zero temperatures, allowing the boot to contour perfectly to the limb for 360-degree cold transfer that pulls heat out of the leg and prevents stocking up.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Built-in Gel Pockets: Features 15-24 individual pockets (depending on size) sewn into the lining to ensure consistent, even cold distribution without the hassle of separate inserts.
• Flexible Frozen Formula: The specialized gel remains soft and pliable when frozen, allowing the boot to wrap tightly around the tendons and joints rather than remaining a stiff pipe shape.
• Insulated Neoprene Exterior: A heavy-duty neoprene outer layer acts as a thermal barrier, directing cold toward the leg while preventing environmental heat from dissipating the therapeutic effects.
• Non-Stick Nylon Lining: The smooth interior lining prevents "ice burn" on sensitive skin and ensures that shavings, dirt, and horse hair won't stick to the boot during use.
• Heavy-Duty Elastic Straps: Extended hook-and-loop straps provide a highly adjustable, secure fit that accommodates various leg thicknesses and provides extra support to the lower fetlock area.
• Comprehensive Size Options: Available in Standard (approx. 13.5" tall) for front legs and Large (approx. 17" tall) for hind legs or large Warmbloods, ensuring coverage from the knee/hock down to the pastern.
• Portable Mesh Carrying Bag: Sold in pairs and includes a convenient mesh bag, making it easy to transport these essential therapy tools to shows, trials, or events in a cooler.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I choose the right size for my horse?
A: For most average-sized horses, we recommend the Standard (13.5") for front legs and the Large (17") for hind legs to ensure full coverage of the higher tendons. If you have a large Warmblood or a horse over 16.2hh, the Large size is often preferred for both front and back to protect the entire "loading" area of the limb.

Q: How long should I leave these boots on for maximum benefit?
A: Veterinarians typically recommend 20 to 30 minutes of cold therapy to effectively reduce inflammation. These boots are designed to maintain therapeutic temperatures within this optimal window, helping to prevent injury and speed up recovery after jumping, barrel racing, or cross-country.

Q: Can I use these while my horse is walking or in turnout?
A: No, these boots are specifically designed for use while the horse is tied or standing quietly in a stall. Because of their protective bulk and the nature of the gel pockets, they are intended for stationary recovery rather than active movement.
