Horseware Ireland ICE-VIBE Boots

ICE-VIBE Boots

• The Ice-Vibe Boots by Horseware Ireland can be used for the front and back legs. They are very easy to use. First, wrap the cold packs around the legs, then place the boots on top of them.
• The vibrating panels can be moved to different pockets and can easily be taken out. The zippers help the boots from sliding down the legs.
• Cool packs with beaded gel balls help to keep the boots exactly where you want them.

FAQs:

What are Ice-Vibe Boots?

• Ice-Vibe boots are massage boots with hot or cold inserts. They create warm or cold circulation treatments that can be used after training or competitions or during rehabilitation.

Why Should I use Ice-Vibe Boots?

• Tendons are much slower to heal than muscles due to their poor blood supply and slow metabolism. Tendon problems are often the result of a buildup of damage. By using the ICE-VIBE boots regularly you can help stimulate blood flow to your horse’s legs whilst they are standing in a stable.

How Do Ice-Vibe Boots Increase Circulation?

• Tendons do not return to previous temperatures as quickly as muscles when cooled as they don't have the same blood supply or metabolism therefore making the legs very cold for long periods of time may actually cause an inflammatory response

Why Should I use Ice-Vibe Boots After an Injury Instead of Normal Ice?

• Tendons do not return to previous temperatures as quickly as muscles when cooled as they don't have the same blood supply or metabolism, therefore, making the legs very cold for long periods of time may actually cause an inflammatory response.
• The boots are designed to cool the tissue via the cold packs and slow down the blood flow to reduce inflammation but when combined with massage the blood flow is not completely restricted, this allows oxygen to be maintained to tired and damaged tissue allowing for a better recovery.
