Gel-Filled Boots Provide Equine Comfort
 |
“Our boot is unique and made for long-term comfort,” says a customer service rep for the online business. “They’re ventilated properly and provide foot stimulation.”
The deep gel reaches into the crevices of a horse’s foot, shoes or no shoes, to push against the frog and provide deep comfort for the horse. When worn correctly, and not too loosely, the deep gel has nowhere to go but up into the foot, creating natural comfort for the horse. The volume of the gel, paired with the hard shell of the Soft-Ride Boot, creates a gel platform that enables the horse to find its most comfortable hoof angle - similar to humans shifting their feet side to side to find comfort when standing. This is ideal for hauling, standing tied and standing in stalls.
The boots are not to be used when horses are performing or being ridden. Though they can be worn continuously, the boots should be removed at least daily to remove debris.
Soft-Ride boots come in several sizes. The boots can be worn either on just the two front feet or on all four feet. They should not be worn on just the back feet.
Ice Spa Pro boots are taller and can be filled with water and ice for rapid cooling for recovery and rehabilitation. The boots are used to reduce inflammation and for relief after rodeo, jumping and other performance events.
