Cooling Clay and Gel for Horses Legs
We’re all aware that horses have no muscle from below the knee and hock, which means excessive strain is put upon their lower legs during hard work.
After strenuous exercise, cooling your horse’s lower legs is important to reduce inflammation and ease any discomfort. Cooling your horse’s legs after activity can prevent long term lower leg issues, too.
Cooling your horse’s legs after exercising them can also aid the reduction of swelling, however, we recommend seeking veterinary advice if you notice that your horse is suffering pain, discomfort, or swelling following any form of exercise.
Here at Discount Equestrian, our dedicated team works tirelessly to stock market-leading, innovative products for our fantastic Leg Cooling range from incredible equestrian brands such as CoolOne®, Absorbine®, Barrier®, Carr Day & Martin®, Cavalor®, Dermoline®, Effol®, Equilibrium®, Ice Horse®, IV Horse®, LeMieux®, Leovet®, Lincoln®, NAF®, and Woof Wear®, among others.
Here are some of the bestselling products in our supremely popular Leg Cooling collection:
LeMieux® Tendon Chill Boots – “Made for ease-of-use, these close-fitting ice boots target the tendons with maximum chill in the shortest period of time. The unique Hypo-Freeze Gel remains soft and contours around the lower limb, ensuring optimum surface contact with tendons and fetlock joints. A swept-up rear section covers the high suspensory area often neglected in standard cooling boots. These neat boots are low profile, so they’re ideal for travelling, as well as for everyday use at home. Due to their lack of bulk, these boots can fold flat and be easily frozen in confined spaces. The outer fabric acts like a soft wrap, which is easy to manage and clean. Regular use of Tendon Chill boots for short periods (30-40mins) after intense exercise has proven most effective for preventative purposes. Can be worn on front or hind legs. Sold in pairs.”
NAF® Ice Cool Gel – “A super cooling gel that cools and freshens your horse's legs after hard work or strenuous exercise. Contains cooling agents designed to reduce body and muscle temperature. Apply liberally to the full length of the legs and tired muscles after heavy exercise or work on hard ground. Does not contain menthol or peppermint.”
Staysound® Leg Clay – “STAYSOUND is an internationally acclaimed cold clay that cools and soothes tired legs. STAYSOUND is ready to use, easy to apply and has a superior, long-lasting formula. There is no need to wrap or bandage, and STAYSOUND Leg Clay is easy to wash off.”
Dermoline® Cooling Body Wash – “A mild, soapless body wash containing tea tree oil and a mild antibacterial agent. This cooling body wash cleanses your horse’s coat as well as cooling them down after heavy work.”
ColdOne® 3-in-1 Wraps Pair – “These ColdOne 3 in 1 Wraps from America are the best boots of their type we have ever found! They successfully combine cold therapy and compression therapy in a single product, reducing swelling and pain in the fetlock and hoof areas. These 3 in 1 Wraps are fully adjustable and can be used to treat awkward joints including hocks, knees, and fetlocks. The outer layer of heavy neoprene provides stretch and compression, while the centre layer is 100% non-toxic freezable gel with amazing cold retention properties. The inner layer is of fine linen to prevent cold shock and to prevent burning your horse’s skin. There is no messy ice, no inserts, and the wrap can be pre-frozen to take to shows.”
Equetech® Bonner Ice Bandage – “The Bonner Bandage® is back by popular demand! These bandages have met stringent clinical trials, so are suitable for equines and humans. A cold compression bandage that brings fast and natural relief in the treatment of pain, swelling, and inflammation of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Treats sprains, strains, swellings, pulled muscles and bruising. Contains no medication and freezes in just 20 minutes. Unlike ice bandages that contain alcohol, the Bonner Bandage does not use chemicals to work, instead, it has a much lower temperature and keeps colder for longer. A 15-minute treatment gives penetrating residual cold for up to 30 minutes after the bandage has been removed. It can also be used as a preventative aid for competition horses. Safe for repeated applications. No risk of ice burn. Sold in pairs.”
