As effective therapies go, low-tech ice is hard to beat — but getting your horse to stand still in a bucket of ice water can be a challenge. Professional Choice’s Ice Boot, with its elastic interior pockets to hold the ice, allows you to apply the cold therapy to your horse’s legs without limiting his mobility. The boot is made from high-quality neoprene and held on by hook-and-loop closures. Available with six pockets (for icing just below the knee or hock, down to the pastern) or nine pockets (from above the knee or hock to the pastern).

Cost: $99.95 (six pockets), $107.95 (nine pockets).
