The crystals swell into the quilted fabric spaces to form a soft gel pad that hugs all parts of the leg when the boot is fitted. The cold compress reduces inflammation, swelling and bruising, cools tendons after exercise and treats soft tissue injuries. Mess free and reusable- the gel is contained within the fabric quilting and returns to micro-crystals when dry. Horse remains mobile while receiving treatment. Touch close fastenings. Set of 2. Care instructions: Hand wash cool. Do not tumble dry. Size Guide: Available in Pony, Cob or Full.

FAQs
How do I activate the cooling gel?
Soak the boots in cold water. The micro-crystals will absorb the water and transform into a cooling gel.
Can I use these boots on multiple horses?
Yes, but ensure they are cleaned between uses to prevent the spread of any potential infection or contamination.
How long should I leave the boots on?
Typically, 20-30 minutes is sufficient. Monitor your horse and adjust the time as needed. Consult your vet if you have concerns.
How do I clean the boots?
Hand wash the boots in cool water. Refer to the care instructions for further details.
Can I put the boots in the washing machine?
No. The boots should be hand washed only to preserve the integrity of the gel and fabric.
How do I store the boots?
Ensure the boots are completely dry before storing them in a cool, dry place. Make sure that they are away from direct sunlight.
Are these boots safe for use on all horses?
While generally safe, consult with your veterinarian before using them, especially if your horse has any pre-existing conditions or injuries. Discontinue use if any adverse reaction occurs.

Ensure the boots have been soaked in cold water for the recommended time and that the micro-crystals have fully converted to gel. Check the water temperature.
Boots don't fit well.
Make sure you have the correct size. Measure your horse's leg to ensure a proper fit. Check the sizing guide.
