Due to its shape, this is an area that is difficult to cool effectively with standard leg wraps, loose ice packs, or wet cloths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wrap is anatomically shaped and open at the talus. This allows the wrap to fit better around the entire hock joint, while applying cold to the correct zones. The combination of targeted cooling and even compression makes these wraps particularly practical after training, competition, transport, or for horses requiring extra support during their recovery routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach wrap comes with reusable Cold Capsule Inserts. These inserts are placed in the freezer beforehand and then inserted into the wrap. They mold around the horse's leg and, according to Ice Horse, provide therapeutic cooling for more than two hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hock Wraps are made from breathable non-neoprene fabric and feature EZY Peel Velcro closures. This allows them to be applied securely, but also easily removed without pulling hard on the closures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose Ice Horse Hock Wraps?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hock joint is a complex and sensitive area, especially in sport horses, older horses, or horses subjected to heavy loads. A well-fitting cooling product is important, as loose cold packs often shift in this area or fail to make sufficient contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ice Horse Hock Wraps are specifically designed for this region. They enclose the hock joint without completely covering the talus and help hold the Cold Capsule Inserts correctly in place. This allows for more targeted application of cold than with general cooling products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor horses with heat, swelling, stiffness, or strain around the hock joint, these wraps can be a valuable addition to sports care and recovery management. In cases of osteoarthritis, marked swelling, pain, lameness, or long-standing complaints, professional advice from a veterinarian is always recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ice Horse Hock Wraps are suitable for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003etargeted cold therapy around the ankle joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esport horses after training, competition, or intensive work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehorses with heat, swelling, or stiffness around the hock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eolder horses or horses in recovery management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efull-size horses, ponies, young horses, and yearlings depending on size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnatomical fit for the ankle joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen design at the level of the talus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines targeted cooling with even compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes reusable Cold Capsule Inserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEZY Peel Velcro fasteners for practical application and removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the Cold Capsule Inserts in the freezer for a few hours beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace the frozen inserts in the Hock Wraps and apply the wrap around the hock joint.

During use, regularly check that the wrap stays in place and that your horse remains comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways use cold therapy under supervision and do not leave the wraps on longer than necessary. After use, the inserts can be placed back in the freezer. They can also be refrozen in the wraps when practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I maintain my wraps?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean the wraps with a damp cloth if necessary and let them dry thoroughly before storing them.
