Chuck Dumbrell, founder of Ice Horse, cites the Royal College of Veterinary Medicine: “As little as seven minutes of vigorous exercise can raise tendon and ligament temperatures to 113 degrees F.”

Cold is increasingly being used as a preventative measure. Cold is effective in preventing excessive swelling related to minor wear and tear and excessive filling in areas of previous injury.

Routine application of cold after hard workouts also helps in diagnosis of injuries, rather than masking them. The rational is that if you know how your horse's legs look after a 15 to 20 minute cold therapy application post-workout, the rider, trainer or driver will be quicker to spot any areas carrying an unusual amount of inflammation because these will remain obviously hotter and or more swollen than normal after a brief therapy.

* Use hot or cold
* Routine rapid cooling after a tough workout can help prevent inflammation
* Hosing works, but it's inefficient and time-consuming.
* Cold therapy doesn't chill the tissues; it pushes the heat out.

With winter fast approaching we are open plagued with winter aliments such as fungal and bacterial skin problems, hoof abscesses, thrush, seedy toe etc... Now is the time to be prepared and stock up that often forgotten first aid kit. Below are a few products you might consider from the Simply Equine range.

	Hoof Wraps Equine Bandage This Equine Bandage was voted the TOP product in the USA Horse Journal magazine product trial in October 2008. Hoof Wraps is a bandage, not a boot and it’s designed TOUGH for horses, still turned out to pasture, during treatment. Easily treat common hoof problems like hoof abscess, stone bruise, or use for protection after shoe loss.
	Hoof Wraps Soaker If your horse likes to fidget with buckets and soaking treatments you could be tied up for a while. Not anymore. Apply the hoof soaker, fill it with your soak of choice and get back to your chores. Hoof Wraps soakers are made with a thick shell of ballistic nylon and a coated nylon liner. Each Soaker comes with two EVA foam pads and an extra strap.
