The Professionals Choice Nine Pocket Ice Boots are designed for riders and horse owners who want a practical and effective solution for cooling their horses legs after training, competition, or strenuous work. With a height of 23, these ice boots can be used to cool a large area of the leg from above the knee or hock all the way down to the pastern. This makes them an ideal choice when you want targeted cold therapy over a larger area without compromising fit or ease of use. They are sold in pairs and are available in black.
What makes this model special is its nine individual pockets, which are designed for use with real crushed ice. The pockets help distribute the cold more evenly along the leg, providing consistent and effective cooling. At the same time, the construction makes it easier to keep the ice securely in place, so the cold stays closer to the leg during use.
The elastic pockets are designed to gradually introduce the horse to the change in temperature as the ice melts. This means the cold slowly penetrates through the pockets and cools the legs more gradually. This thoughtful feature makes the boots especially useful in situations where you want an even cooling effect. For many riders and stables, it is an advantage to have equipment that combines effectiveness with more controlled application.
The Nine Pocket Ice Boots are equipped with six hook fasteners, allowing for a more individual and customized fit. This makes it easier to adjust the boots to the horses legs and ensure that they stay securely in place during use. The flexible closure contributes to making the ice boots practical and user-friendly for everyday handling around the horse.
The Professionals Choice Nine Pocket Ice Boots are a strong choice for riders, trainers, and stables looking for a functional ice boot with extensive coverage, nine ice pockets, and an adjustable fit. They are designed for use with crushed ice and provide a well-thought-out solution for even cooling of the horses legs. With their tall design, flexible closure, and practical construction, they are well suited for both everyday use and more demanding routines related to the horses care and recovery.
The story of Professional's Choice started back in 1976 when founder Dal Scott broke his leg in a riding accident. Hoping to recover faster, he developed neoprene orthopaedic products. This was the start of Dricast Orthopedics, Inc - what we know today as Professional's Choice. Dal had a passion for horses, so naturally, it wasn't long before the focus shifted from people to equine equipment. The development and production of therapeutic products for horses began in 1986, when the brand was renamed Professional's Choice Sports Medicine Products, Inc.
After the brand was renamed Professional's Choice, the research and development team began working on what is now known as the original Sports Medicine Boot. Since the popular Professional's Choice gaiters made their debut in 1990, the development of equine leg protection has continued apace - the latest being the groundbreaking 2XCool gaiters with cooling effect. However, Professional's Choice does more than just make gaiters for horses; for example, Professional's Choice fly masks have also become very popular with their great fit and beautiful patterns.
