Ice aids innumerable injuries. OK, we knew that, right?
Ask any horse owner, who has spent hours cold-hosing an
equine leg. That may be a fairly simple endeavor in the summertime, when the
horse stands somewhat contentedly, particularly if the process takes place near
a grassy spot.
But in inclement or colder weather, this can be more trying.
Enter the ice boot.
Here are a few examples.
- Cool Hock Compression Wrap
- Equipro Horse Ice Boots
- Ice Horse Hock Wrap
- Ice-Vibe Circulation Therapy Boot
- Intrepid International Horse Ice Boot
- Professionals Choice Equine Nine Pocket Ice Boot
- Roma Full Ice Boots
Ice boots strap on, usually with Velcro-type fasteners. Much
simpler!
NOTE: Some ice
boots are sized for various equines – such as draft, horse, mini, or pony.
Others are tagged as universal. It pays to check before buying.

Ah, we never encountered weather that bad when we had horses when I was growing up. It was central California. To be honest, I don't remember that well because it was a long time ago. :)
