Incrediwear Equine Circulation Hock Sleeves

Incrediwear Equine Circulation Hock Sleeves

Smarter support for the hardest-working joint in your horse’s body.

Non-Compressing, Ice-Free Recovery for Hock Inflammation, Circulation & Joint Health 

Whether your horse is recovering from training, injury, arthritis, or trailering, the Incrediwear Equine Circulation Hock Sleeves provide a safe, science-backed alternative to compression boots, ice wraps, or NSAIDs.

Made from semiconductor-embedded fabric (germanium & carbon), these sleeves stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery with no compression and no risk of overcooling.

Key Benefits

• Reduces inflammation and swelling
• Increases circulation and oxygen delivery
• Improves mobility and joint comfort
• Supports healthy tissue repair
• Safe for long-term or overnight use

How to Use

Dry Use -  Circulation & Recovery

• Use for post-workout recovery, overnight, or during trailering.
• Helps manage arthritis, stiffness, and mild swelling
• Features an integrated silicone grip to reduce slipping

Pro tip: For active horses, add a light vet wrap over the top for extra security

Wet Use -  Cooling & Inflammation

• Soak in cold water, wring out, and apply.
• Activates the Peltier effect for cooling up to -7.3°C
• Wear for 30–60 minutes, remove when dry.
• Ideal for acute soreness, hard training, or post-injection recovery

Product Features

• 1 pair of Hock Sleeves (Left + Right)
• Integrated hoof bag for easy application over the hooves
• 3D ergonomic design – no Velcro, zippers, or pressure points
• Silicone anti-slip band embedded at the top.
• Machine washable & reusable
• One-size

⚠️ Important Sizing Note

The Incrediwear Equine Hock Sleeves are designed as one-size-fits-most, with a stretch-fit ergonomic design.

Measured at maximum stretch, the hock sleeve fits an upper hock circumference of approximately 18.90–19.69 inches (48–50 cm.)

However, due to anatomical variation, they may not fit all horses, particularly those with very large or very small hocks.

Scientific Validation

Independent thermographic studies show the Incrediwear fabric delivers measurable physiological effects at the hock:

• +2.9°C increase in vascular activity at the saphenous vein
• +3.0°C increase at the tendon/bone interface (calcaneal region)
• +4.3°C sustained post-removal warmth, confirming ongoing circulatory activation
• Visible vascular activation from hock to coronet
• Confirmed thermo-adaptive effect, improving perfusion, oxygenation, and recovery even in cool ambient temperatures. Thermographic Analysis of dry product application on Hocks is Consistent with Doppler imaging, showing +26% blood flow increase in tendons after Incrediwear use.

A different Thermographic test of Incrediwear’s wet application on the hock region showed cooling effects of up to

• −7.3°C, cooling sustained for over an hour. Post-removal imaging confirmed residual vascular activity

Making it a safe, ice-free solution for inflammation, soreness, and synovial issues.

Conditions That May Benefit from Hock Sleeves

• Tarsocrural joint inflammation (bog spavin, bone spavin, synovitis)
• Generalized hock arthritis (age-related or post-injection recovery)
• Suspensory ligament desmitis (hindlimb origin or mid-body)
• Tendonitis of the SDFT/DDFT (overuse, strain, travel stress)
• Annular ligament thickening or constriction
• Stocking up / dependent edema after stall rest or trailering
• Windpuffs (effusion in the fetlock or tendon sheath)
• Soft-tissue soreness post-competition or hard footing
• Post-injection or post-shockwave recovery
• Post-exercise soreness and delayed onset inflammation
• Travel recovery and swelling prevention on long hauls
• Ongoing joint or tendon rehab during controlled turnout

Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold (30–40°C / 86–104°F)
• Use a laundry bag or a pillowcase
• Tumble dry low or air dry
• Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean
