Ice Horse Hock Wrap delivers effective cold therapy to control inflammation and swelling and aid healing. Cold therapy is proven to help prevent injury and shorten recovery time. The Ice Horse hock wrap is open over the cap bone, light-weight and is sized and shaped to give full, consistent coverage for optimum therapy. Horse ice wraps reduce heat in both the front and back of the hock. Three broad straps configure the wrap to different sized hocks. Horse ice wraps utilize a patented Propylene Glycol formula which is non-toxic.

Cold Therapy For Prevention of Serious Leg Injuries: One of the most effective and certainly least costly methods of equine physical therapy is the routine use of horse ice wraps for cold therapy on a regular basis. The goal is to immediately apply cold therapy for post exercise cooling of the distal limbs of the horse.

Cold Therapy for Treatment to Relieve Pain: In the case of injury, veterinary studies report that tissues release chemicals and vasoactive substances (cytokines, prostaglandins, and leukotines). These produce a cascade effect of reactions which ultimately result in localized swelling, heat and pain. Rapidly applying cold therapy to a tissue injury limits the inflammatory response by causing the blood vessels to constrict by the process called vasoconstriction. 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 to Control Swelling: After tissue injury there is an immediate chemical reaction at the cellular level. This reaction releases prostaglandins and histamines in the injured area. Damaged capillaries leak cellular waste (water, dissolved electrolytes and proteins) into the surrounding tissue. The body then sends scavenger cells into the area to remove damaged tissue or to kill bacteria that could be present, for example from an open wound. Once the process starts, fluids build in the intercellular spaces causing swelling (edema).  Cold therapy can be used in the repair phase after soft tissue injuries between 48 hours and six weeks after injury.
