Ice Horse® Tendon Boots

To aid in the prevention of and recovery from injury, Ice Horse® Tendon Boots with Cold Capsule™ inserts are an easy way to apply cold therapy to the tendons and ligaments around your horse’s cannon bone area. Made of breathable, heat-releasing Quadrispan™ fabric with Velcro® brand fasteners, these insulated ice boots each hold two cold packs, which conform to the horse’s legs for maximum cooling with uniform compression to reduce inflammation after work or injury.

Reusable Cold Capsule inserts are scientifically tested and proven to provide therapeutic cooling for over two hours—three times longer than gel wraps or buckets of ice water. They are filled with small ice crystals which look and feel like soft, flakey snow when frozen, yet are malleable and conform to your horse’s body. 

This tendon boot set includes two boots and four Cold Capsule inserts.

About Cold Capsule Technology

When Cold Capsule inserts freeze, small ice crystals form. When fully frozen, the pack is filled with small ice crystals which look and feel like soft flakey snow, are malleable and conform to the horse’s body parts. 

As the pack freezes and the ice crystals form, the pack expands slightly and needs to draw in air through the patented insert/bag. The vent is designed to resist liquid flow into or out of the insert. The conversion of the liquid to solid, which occurs during freezing of the insert, is what extends the time the bags stay below freezing. The patented formula of polymer granules eliminates the burning sensation associated with raw cold.

Cold Capsule inserts stay frozen for over to two hours. After use the inserts can be re-frozen. After extensive use the inserts become chunky—this is how you know when it’s time to replace them.

Note:  When using Ice Horse products, the manufacturer recommends that your horse is securely tied and not left unattended.
