Location: Never in one place long | Usually when I have a horse with an injury I do Cold hose therapy but vet said I could do the Iceboots since he recommened 1hr of it... well, I ordered prof choice Ice boots and keep them in the freezer for about 8-10 hrs before putting them on and they're not even that cold! It doesn't seem to be having the same effect... anyone have any opinion or use these?? I'm thinking I need to send them back! |

| I keep my boots in the freezer constantly.
Also the only ones I have had keep cold for an hour are jt ice boots you can buy them on Amazon for 20 each. I have a pair that have been well used for 6 years, and still going strong |

yeah, I keep them in the freezer constantly too but the prof choice ones hardly seem cold after being in there 10 hrs... I have one JH one that seems to get much colder and do better... just seems like I'm not seeing any results with the Prof Choice ones... |

Location: Opelousas, LA | I have some of the boots that are like the Tough One boots on Amazon. They work pretty good if I get my horses leg really wet before I put them on. I didn't know PC made any ice boots except the ones with the pockets for crushed ice, those worked good if you used crushed ice and made sure they didn't slip down.
No ice boot beats standing your horse in an ice tub, that is the only surefire way to get the legs cold.

Location: Hill Country of TEXAS!! | www.hidezequine.com has compression socks you put ice cubes in the pocket and don't worry about it. Ices from the hoof up to the knee or hock. Easiest way to ice a leg imo. |

Also, you can cut the leg off blue jeans, slip the leg onto the horses leg, tie at the bottom, fill with ice, and tie at the top. |

| We have some like the tough-1 ice boots and they are AWESOME. Get them wet just before you put them on, and wet them again before you put them in the freezer and they are just great. |

Location: IL | i have the professional choice boots and they are cold, but there is a protective sleeve so you don't ice burn the horse. I put it on my leg after an injury and it was cold. I really like how they work. The longer they are on the colder they get. |
