Therapeutic horse boots
Your horse's legs endure immense stress during training sessions. The legs of your equine friend contain few muscles and consist mostly of bones, tendons and ligaments. The lack of muscle means little protection, especially the lower legs are susceptible to injuries. Proper recovery after a training is vital before starting a new training session. Offer your horse some time off and allow damaged tissue to heal. Prevent injuries by alternating between training intensity. To protect your horse even better, you could opt for therapeutic boots. Therapeutic horse boots have unique and specific features that help prevent injuries. Should you want to invest in therapeutic boots, consider their purpose: either opt for boots that warm your horse's legs, or go for boots that will help cool your horse’s legs down, or get a pair of boots that does both. Buy your therapeutic boots at Epplejeck from top brands like Kentucky, Harry's Horse and Horseware.
How to use Hot/Cold Relief Boots Shires
The Shires Hot/Cold Relief Boots treat and prevent injury, speed up recovery after strenuous exercise, minimize swelling and inflammation, relieve pain, relax tight muscles, encourage blood flow to assist with healing and help with arthritic conditions. There are Hot/Cold Boots designed for ligaments and tendons, and boots for horse joints. These therapeutic boots are easy to heat up with a microwave or warm water, and can be cooled with cold water or by putting them in the freezer. Warm boots improve blood circulation and help relax the muscles. As a result, the hot boots help with muscle stiffness and joint injuries. To prevent injuries you can use hot boots before a training to warm up your horse's muscles before you start.
Cold boots help reduce inflammation, swelling and pain, and can be used to prevent inflammation after training.
The Hot/Cold Relief Boots Shires are made of comfortable neoprene with velcro fasteners to keep them in place. The gel packs can be cleaned with warm water and mild soap. The boots are machine washable at 30 degrees.
The Horseware Ice Vibe Boots
The Horseware Icevibe Boots can be used for many injuries like (girth) galls, abrasions, arthritis and sprains. When cooling an area, the blood circulation might drop, which is why just cooling down isn't enough, because a reduced blood circulation also cuts off oxygen supply. The therapeutic boots by Horseware vibrate to keep the blood circulation going, thus speeding up the recovery process. An IceVibe treatment takes approximately 20 minutes.
