Cold therapy helps manage inflammation, limit secondary tissue damage, and support faster recovery after hard work or an acute knock. Here’s when and how to use it—plus clean, sensation-free support that plays nicely with your program.
Rule of thumb: colder + shorter + repeated is safer than one marathon session.
Always check skin every 5–7 minutes and avoid direct ice on bare skin for long periods.
Our naturally derived, no-tingle gel pairs well with post-cold routines—easy on sensitive skin, designed to stay where you put it, and trusted by real riders.

Pro tip: Thin, even layer on clean, dry legs after your final cool phase.
A soothing, daily-use restorative cream designed for hard-working areas. Smooth finish, easy absorption, barn-friendly.
Great for targeted care after you’ve cooled and dried the area.
| Method | Target feel | Typical duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cold hosing | Cool, not numbing | 10–15 min | Moving water prevents cold spots; easy to repeat. |
| Ice boots | Uniform cool around tendon | 10–20 min | Use liners; avoid hard contact edges; check skin @ 5–7 min. |
| Crushed-ice wrap | Even cool under compression | 10–15 min | Avoid direct ice on bare skin; ensure even pressure. |
Always follow your veterinarian’s guidance for acute injuries or rehab timelines.
Start as soon as practical post-work, after a quick rinse and check. Earlier cooling can help limit excessive inflammation; keep sessions short and repeatable.
Generally 10–15 minutes per bout, with a short skin check in between if repeating. Two short bouts beat one long session for safety and comfort.
Do your cold work first, then dry, then apply. Clean skin + thin, even application = best results. Our sensation-free gel is designed to be gentle and show-safe.
Not required for every horse. If your program uses light compression, ensure the leg is dry and the wrap is breathable. Monitor for any skin sensitivity.
Call your veterinarian for significant heat, lameness, visible swelling that doesn’t improve, wounds, or any acute injury. Cryotherapy supports recovery, it’s not a diagnosis.
If using boots or wraps, follow manufacturer guidance and check skin frequently.
