First+ Ice Hock Wrap

Ice Horse hock wraps are superior-quality insulated hock wraps that stay cold for up to 2 hours. This hock wrap is open over the cap bone, light-weight and is sized and shaped to give full, consistent coverage for optimum therapy. This special shape helps the wrap stay in place so you can be assured that your horse is getting cold therapy where it is needed. Ice Horse ice wraps reduce heat in both the front and back of the hock. Three broad straps configure the wrap to different sized hocks. Double cooling with 2 Ice Packs per Hock Wrap means maximum benefit for your horse.

One of the most effective and least costly methods of equine physical therapy is the routine use of horse ice wraps for cold therapy. Immediately apply First+ Ice after exercise for cooling of the horse's distal limbs or use First+ Ice Packs in the repair phase of tissue injury, 48 hours to 6 weeks after the injury.

When injured, tissues release chemicals and vasoactive substances. These produce a cascade of reactions which result in localized swelling, heat and pain. Applying First+ Ice Packs to a tissue injury limits the inflammatory response by causing the blood vessels to constrict. This limits the blood flow to the injured site, moderating the release of the vasoactive substances and as a result, minimizes the pain and swelling in the afflicted area. Cold therapy reduces inflammation and pain.

The First+ Ice Pack's non-gel formula stays soft and molds to the horse's shape. Propylene Glycol formula is non-toxic. Cold therapy is delivered exactly where needed and these soft packs are significantly more comfortable than hard, solid ice packs for your horse.
