Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Tendon Chill Boots in Black are designed for horse owners seeking a quick and effective way to provide targeted cold therapy to their horse's lower limbs after intense exercise. Their key benefit is the unique Hypo-Freeze Gel that remains soft and contours for maximum contact, chilling tendons and fetlock joints efficiently. A potential caveat is the need for sufficient freezer space and pre-planning due to the required freezing time.

FAQs
How long should I freeze the boots before use?
You should freeze the boots for a minimum of 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, before applying them to your horse.
What is the recommended duration for a single application?
Each application session should be short, typically lasting 30-40 minutes.
Can I use these boots on both front and hind legs?
Yes, the boots are designed to be versatile and can be worn on both front and hind legs.
How do I clean the Tendon Chill Boots?
The outer fabric can be easily cleaned by wiping it with a damp cloth after use. Allow them to air dry completely before storing or refreezing.
What makes the Hypo-Freeze Gel special?
The Hypo-Freeze Gel remains soft and contours around the horse's leg even when frozen, ensuring maximum surface contact with the tendons and fetlock joints for effective chilling.
Are these boots suitable for travel?
Yes, their low profile and ability to fold flat make them ideal for use during travel, as they are not bulky and easy to store.
What happens if the gel feels too hard to mold?
Allow the boots to sit at room temperature for a minute or two after removing them from the freezer. The gel should become pliable enough to mold to the leg.
Troubleshooting
Boots not staying cold for the full session
Ensure boots are frozen for the minimum recommended time (4-6 hours or overnight). If used frequently, allow adequate time for refreezing between sessions.
Straps are difficult to secure or feel too tight
Check that the boots are correctly positioned on the leg. Adjust the straps so they are firm for good contact but do not restrict blood flow. Ensure the gel has molded to the leg before fully tightening.
Gel seems hard and difficult to mould
Allow the boots to temper slightly for a minute or two after removing from the freezer before attempting to mould them to the leg. The Hypo-Freeze Gel is designed to remain pliable.
