Cryochaps are innovative ice boots for horses, designed to ice the legs after exercise or injury in order to aid recovery. By capturing the power of ice bath therapy in a simple and effective leg wrap, the ice boots provide the ideal post-workout cool-down. Highly portable, Cryochaps are great for at the yard, competitions and or clinics.
Equine injuries to the lower limbs, both front and hind, are a common occurrence in this day and age. Horses are designed to be super quick and supple, balancing 500kg of bone and muscle on four legs. Humans have selectively bred the horse to become more agile, more expressive, more powerful, faster and stronger. However, their limbs do not always cope, and as any owner will know injuries are commonplace. Ligament and tendon injuries can now be diagnosed much more often due to increased veterinary knowledge and better diagnostic technology. Furthermore, diagnosis will then lead to the time consuming rehabilitation that accompanies it.
By harnessing the preventative and healing benefits of ice bath therapy, Cryochaps have created an equine ice boot that could be effective at helping reduce the chances of injury as well as encouraging healing.
