Hi Guys

Looking for recommendations of best brand of ice boots .

- Ideally want the inserts you put in the freezer
- Not looking to spend loads as I need boots for front and back as well as hocks .

Many thanks

For legs - can you get hold of the ice vibe cold packs from Horseware like these? They have velcro so they are a pretty cheap option if you plan to hang around & supervise for half an hour whilst they are on. Or are you looking for hoof boots? The rest of the range is pricier.

Theraflex packs , buy online for about 7 quid per pack. Keep in freezer , secure over a wet J cloth on the leg using a boot or a bandage. You don't have to pay silly money for an Equine version.

How big is the horse? I found nothing that would fit my natives legs so used wine coolers instead. They work well.

I keep them in the freezer and leave them in a box with a lid with cold water in whilst riding & put on when I get back when needed.

I ordered XF Ice Vibes for my HW Cob (11" bone) and they weren't wide enough and too long. really difficult to fit as the Ice packs wouldn't velcro up so you needed 4 hands to get them on.
I got CryoChaps instead. Brilliant and much easier/closer fitting also cheaper (but not cheap!)
Sometimes see them on Facebook Marketplace /Ebay.
I have a few spare Right boots as my cob thought it fun to remove the straps on his left one! They retail around £49 each boot - £92 ish a pair plus postage - £38 each (I have 2 spares but both Right leg)
I wouldn't be without them, they are brilliant.
