When the sun blazes and humidity rises, your horse’s body works overtime to stay cool, especially in their legs, which are crucial for performance, comfort, and recovery. Whether you're riding professionally or simply care deeply for your equine partner’s well-being, preventing overheating isn’t just smart; it’s essential.
Thankfully, cooling methods have evolved beyond ice. Incrediwear Equine Circulation Exercise Bandages and Hoof Socks use advanced germanium and carbon-infused semiconductor fabric, activated by body heat, they stimulate circulation and deliver targeted, ice-free cooling when water is added. It’s science-backed relief that supports recovery naturally and effectively.
Why Overheating Happens
Even the fittest horses struggle to cool down their legs after work. While the core can release heat through sweating and respiration, the lower limbs lack fat and muscle, making it harder to regulate temperature. The tendons and ligaments retain heat long after exercise, especially in warm or humid weather, leading to puffiness, fatigue, and slower recovery.
Why Cooling the Legs Is Incredibly Important
Your horse’s legs aren’t just where performance happens; they’re also where overheating lingers the longest. With less vascular support and a high concentration of connective tissue, excess heat can contribute to inflammation, swelling, and tendon strain, all of which affect mobility and soundness. Icing might offer temporary surface relief, but it can be inconvenient, short-lived, or even counterproductive. Prolonged icing may constrict blood flow, limiting the body’s ability to heal. Your horse needs something more advanced and far more effective that not only cools but can also speed up recovery.
Icing with No Ice: Powered by Science, Loved by Horses
When your horse needs relief, Incrediwear Equine Circulation Exercise Bandages and Hoof Socks offer a smarter kind of cooling, no ice, no mess, just proven results.
Here’s how it works: both products are embedded with natural semiconductors like germanium and carbonized charcoal. When activated by moisture and your horse’s body heat, they trigger the Peltier Effect, a real thermoelectric phenomenon that draws heat away from the legs and releases it into the air.
That’s not just evaporation; it’s active cooling at a cellular level.
Think of it as a high-tech heat extractor quietly doing the heavy lifting to reduce swelling, improve circulation, and help your horse recover faster.
Here’s Why It’s Time to Switch.
Still, doubting whether to ditch ice? You love your horse, and you ice their legs because you care. But what if there were a better way backed by science, built for results, and designed for daily use? Why settle for melting ice packs or cold boots when you can give your horse a cooling treatment that works with their body, not against it?
- Cools legs faster than ice up to 9.3°C (16.7°F) in 15 minutes*
- No risk of overcooling, frostbite, or restricted circulation
- Stimulates blood flow, so healing starts immediately, not hours later
- Lasts longer than ice even after the wraps are removed
- No freezer. No slippery mess. No cold shock. Just wet the Incrediwear Equine
- Wear Circulation Exercise Bandages or Hoof Socks on your horse's legs, and let them work their magic for up to an hour
In this heat, cooling smart isn’t optional; it’s essential. With temperatures rising and horses working harder to stay comfortable, Incrediwear Equine Circulation Exercise Bandages and Hoof Socks offer a powerful, ice-free solution to protect the legs that carry it all. You’re not just cooling legs, you’re reducing residual heat, protecting tendons, and giving your horse a safer, smarter recovery routine that works in any weather.
Thousands of riders have already made the switch, and their horses feel the difference.
Isn’t it time you did too?
*Tested and trusted: ThermoHorse studies show that wet-applied Incrediwear Equine Circulation Hoof Socks can drop leg surface temperatures by up to 9.3°C (16.7°F) in just 15 minutes, with the cooling effect continuing for over an hour after removal.
