Leg Cooling Gels...

[Tinkle]

Hello

My chap has had a minor strain recently and, although he seems fully recovered, I notice there's a lot of gels and washes etc for cooling their legs after exercise. Just wondered what people use and why? Is it worth having some in?

Ta.

Yes I always keep cooling gel in my kit, no specific brand.

I use it after hard work / after a show.

There is alot of brands about. Just be careful that they dont burn always patch test them and most of them need washing off after a few hours. I think the leg wrap boots are better the ones you put in water for an hour.

Been out this afternoon and bought a 'Mark Todd Leg Cooling Gel Spray'. Said 100% natural and doesn't contain alcohol so shouldn't dry out the skin. And it was £12 for 1L whereas the others were all about £8-9 for 500mls!! It says leave for 2-4hours and then wipe off any residue.

Taking my older mare to the beach a week on sunday so will give it a try then. Will it still work under travel boots? Or should I hang on until I come home to apply it?
