Ice Horse Tendon Wraps can help prevent injury to your horse and shorten recovery time. Cold therapy using horse ice wraps is one of the most effective and certainly least costly methods of equine physical therapy.

Ice Horse tendon wraps are top-quality insulated cannon bone/tendon leg wraps that stay cold for up to 2 hours. They provide convenient and thorough cooling of the tendons, ligaments, muscles and connective tissue to speed recovery, and reduce pain and inflammation.

These tendon wraps have a unique design that conforms to the horse's leg and provides optimum compression, assisting the cold penetration of inflamed soft tissue.  Horse ice wraps use 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.
