Cold therapy for your horse’s stifles is never easier than with these stifle ice wraps. Made of a four-way stretch neoprene for durability and comfort, these wraps have gel ice bags to wrap the stifles for cold therapy. They’re attached to flexible straps that stretch over the back to keep them from slipping down. An effective way to reduce pain and inflammation from training, strains, or arthritis in the stifles.

"My mare has a stifle injury and I needed something to hold the red light hock boot in place. This works beautifully! I just reversed the hock boot to cover the stifle and the wrap holds it. The ice packs are good but don’t seem very cold for long."
"Works great for icing & for holding my red light in place as well!"
"This is a great idea, since icing the stifle joint for any length of time. HOWEVER, in my view, the wall of the ice pocket is too thick, so not enough cold is transferred. Also, one of the packets didn’t hold-up and gel leaked out of it."
"Love the ability to cool the stifle after exercise. Ice packets are very handy. The product will last for years!"
"These are well made and have helped my horse with chronic stifle issue. I ice him twice a day and see the difference."
"Our little girl was, unfortunately, involved in a horrific accident, that required stitches and a whole lot of other treatments. I purchased this stifle wrap, because of a review left on here, and how it helped hold on bandages. As you may already know, the stifle is an extremely hard area to treat, and I have been thoroughly impressed with this high quality stifle wrap! Yes, it holds bandages in place, but it also does a whole lot more, and adds compression to lesson severe swelling, and helped to omit proud flesh, along with wonder powder, because we caught it early. If it slips off the back of the croup, you have it on backwards, as I first did. Pay attention to the picture for guidance, and once you get it to fit, just leave the velcro straps in place, for perfect repeat uses. I washed it in warm water on delicate cycle, in a jumbo laundry mesh bag, for a perfect solution. It dries over night, lined dried. I love this so much, I bough another one, to use alternating with washing. It's not to be worn over night, especially if your horse lays down, as it will be a bundled mess come morning, but worn for several hours, and then removed at bedtime, works wonders! Nothing is perfect for the stifle, but this wrap has helped our little girl tremendously, and has aided in her healing. Thank you so much for carrying this product! It will come in handy as our business grows, to help other horses in need. Many blessings!"
"They are well made and fairly easy to use, but after trying them multiple times to make sure they were touching the stifle in the right place, I just don't feel like they are effective. As soon as I took them off, I touched where the ice packs were and the skin was barely cool, not cold as you'd want with ice. Cold hosing was much more effective, but I was hoping to find a solution where I didn't have to stand there. So if you want to actually ice a stifle, I recommend saving your money and just sticking with cold hosing."
"These are well made and easy to use."
"After a severe injury, this wrap is helping to keep bandages and antibiotics in place and is also protecting the wound from frostbite. The stifle is a very hard part of the horse's body to keep a bandage in place and this wrap is doing a great job."
"Great for soreness and swelling, good quality and easy to use."
