SUMMER SPECIAL: 2 pair of leg wraps designed for the Quarter horse. The outer layer of heavy neoprene provides stretch and compression. The center layer is 100% non-toxic freezable gel which is also flexible and comfortable. The inner layer is of fine linen to prevent cold shock to the skin. The re-freezable wrap stays ice cold for 15-20 minutes then gradually increases in temperature to protect your horse from over icing which can cause a different type of injury as recommended by Vets and Trainers. No messy ice, no inserts, and can be easily applied by rider or trainer. Equine Cold Therapy: Horse owners and trainers have long known the value of cold therapy. Cold therapy is especially helpful in reducing inflammation and controlling pain. In response to injury, tissues release a variety of chemicals and vasoactive substances (cytokins, prostaglandins, leukotines) that produce a cascade effect of reactions, ultimately resulting in localized swelling, heat and pain. Applying cold therapy to a tissue injury, limits the inflammatory response by causing the blood vessels to constrict (vasoconstriction). This limits the blood flow to the injured site, moderating the release of the vasoactive substances and thus minimizes the pain and swelling in the afflicted area. Cold Therapy to Relieve Pain: Applying cold therapy after an acute injury helps to ease pain. Cold slows the conduction rate of sensory receptors; therefore fewer numbers of pain messages are received and processed by the brain. Cold Therapy to Control Swelling: After a tissue injury, there is an immediate chemical reaction at the cellular level. This reaction releases prostaglandins and histamines in the injured area. Damaged capillaries �leak� cellular waste (water, dissolved electrolytes and proteins) into the surrounding tissue. The body sends leukocytes or scavenger cells into the area to remove damaged tissue or to kill bacteria that may be present. Once this process starts, significant amounts of fluid build in intercellular spaces causing �edema,� or swelling. Coldone equine wraps combine stretchable neoprene and a cold inner layer to drive cold deep and prevent swelling. All Coldone components are made of the highest quality products and crafted with superior workmanship. They are quite simply made to last. *The quarter horse leg wraps are smaller than the warm blood leg wraps, and should only be used for the front legs of the quarter horse. The warm blood equine kit or leg wrap pairs should be used for the hind legs of the quarter horse. Coldone would like to answer any questions you may have! Live chat by LivePerson
