Has anyone used or had any luck using Hidez compression on a leg injury?
Im thinking of buying the ice compression boots for my mare but they are pricey and i am just curious if anyone has any experience?
I am thinking i would like to help keep some of the swelling down!
Pictures to follow.....
Thanks in advance!

I have the ice compression boots and I think you will be very surprised at how cold the leg is after removing them. I have found that with most ice boots [or ice therapy] the leg is not even cold immediately after you remove them. I leave mine on for 20 mins or so, and when you take them off the leg is VERY COLD. Sort of a hassle to have to always go buy ice, but they definitely provide the ice therapy you are looking for when you purchase them. Yes a tad pricey, but well made and a quality product.

I've never use them but I saw quite a few of the face pieces used at the race last weekend. I asked one guy what he thought and he told me that he noticed a difference on his bleeder. She didn't need as much lasix. But he didn't notice much difference on the hotter/nervious horses.
My mask works okay. This weekend the dealer told me I need the smaller size and it would work better. I originally had the smaller size but it was sooo tight. He didnt look comfortable at all.
Just wondering what you used your hidez mask for. We have a nervouse alley horse. Than we have a horse that is nervouse at the trailer by himselft which is also a bleeder.
Just was looking for you input.
Thanks
