Cool and even… or hot, painful, and one-sided? Use this calm, rider-level guide to tell stocking-up from an injury, what to do in minutes, and when to call your veterinarian.
Unsure? Treat as swelling and call your veterinarian.
Heat + pain, wound, lameness, fever, strong pulse, or rapid worsening—vet today.
Use the Horse Leg Anatomy map for consistent comparisons.
Unilateral swelling is more concerning than even, cool fullness in both legs. Heat, pain, a strong digital pulse, or rapid change increase urgency—call your veterinarian.
Typical rider-level cool-down totals 10–20 minutes in short cool & scrape cycles. Avoid ice directly on skin; follow your veterinarian’s plan for injuries.
Cool first. Wraps only on intact skin after full absorption if gel is used, with even tension and ~50% overlap. Recheck wrap heat/tension at 15–30 minutes. Wounds, severe lameness, or fever—ask your vet before wrapping.
Run the Recovery Loop post-ride for a week, keep water close, and use a THIN layer of 16oz Gel on intact skin before optional wraps. Track a photo/measurement at the same landmark.
