Ice Like a Pro

There’s a reason that the training facilities of professional and college sports teams have ice baths: an ice bath can help an athlete recover more quickly after a hard workout.

The same holds true for horses: immersing their hooves, lower legs and knees can help them recover more quickly after a hard workout. That’s why top trainers and riders rely on the Soft-Ride Ice Spa to help their horses recover and get ready for the next workout or event.

Before the Ice Spa came along, the industry standard for icing was a bucket or old IV bag, both of which were sloppy solutions to a slippery situation. The Ice Spa offers an easy and convenient way to immerse a horse’s lower legs in an ice bath while still allowing him to move around in his stall. And Soft-Ride’s proprietary mineral salts and our portable aerator can make your icing sessions even more beneficial.

Treat your horse like a pro; ice his hoofs and lower legs after a workout, and help him recover more quickly for the next workout.

How Practitioners Rely on Soft-Ride for Therapy

Practitioners and professionals around the world recommend and rely on Soft-Ride’s Equine Comfort Boots and Ice Spa to keep hooves healthy and to help horses recover from workouts and injury or illness.

The Soft-Ride Ice Spa is an easy, convenient way to provide your horse with a soothing ice bath. Practitioners and professionals alike regularly use an ice bath to help horses recover after a workout or competition, and they rely on the Ice Spa when following icing protocols to treat hoof health issues such as laminitis.

And after a brief ice bath, Soft-Ride’s horse hoof boots offer protection while stabling on hard surfaces or trailering to events. They’re a smart choice to provide protective comfort when used as part of the everyday routine with your horse.
