Cold Coverage From the Upper Joint Area to the Hoof
Schneiders® Dura-Tech® Extra Tall Gel Cooling Leg Wrap brings flexible, freezer-chilled gel coverage to more of your horse’s leg.

When Your Cooling Wrap Stops Before the Area You Want to Cover
Every serious equestrian knows how quickly post-ride care can turn into a patchwork of equipment. A short boot may handle the lower leg while leaving the knee or hock uncovered. A standard wrap may reach the cannon bone but stop before the hoof. If more than one area needs attention, you can end up layering products, repositioning straps, or standing at the wash rack with a hose when you would rather let your horse settle comfortably in the barn aisle.
That inconvenience matters because a cold-therapy routine is only useful when you can apply it consistently and correctly. Wrestling with several pieces costs time at home and becomes even harder at a clinic, event, or overnight show. Uneven coverage can also leave you wondering whether the intended area is staying in contact with the cooling surface. Meanwhile, your horse must stand through repeated adjustments as separate boots shift, overlap, or leave gaps around the contours of the leg.
The challenge isn’t simply finding something cold. It’s finding one practical wrap that can conform around your horse’s leg while extending high enough for the knee or hock and low enough for the hoof. Without that coverage, a straightforward care routine becomes more complicated than it needs to be.

Multiple Treatment Areas Can Turn After-Ride Care Into a Patchwork
Conventional short boots often stop around the cannon bone and fetlock. Hock, knee, and hoof products may each require a separate design, creating a collection of pieces that must be chilled, fitted, and stored. Rigid or poorly conforming components can make consistent contact difficult around joints and curved areas. Loose straps may need readjustment, while complicated combinations can overlap awkwardly. The result is more equipment on your horse’s leg without necessarily creating the simple, continuous coverage you were trying to achieve.
Then the routine starts taking over your evening. You cool one section, remove the boot, reposition another product, and check whether everything is still sitting where you placed it. At a busy barn, that can mean delaying feeding, packing, or the drive home. At a show, it means carrying extra pieces and finding enough freezer or cooler space for all of them. Your horse spends longer standing in the aisle while you manage equipment instead of completing one calm, organized application.
That is the trap: the market offers plenty of ways to cool a cannon bone, hoof, knee, or hock separately, yet assembling those options can make broad cold therapy cumbersome. You are left choosing between limited coverage and a multi-piece setup, even when what you really need is a flexible wrap that follows more of your horse’s leg in one application.
- ✗You want to cool the knee or hock along with the lower leg.
- ✗The hoof also needs coverage within the same care routine.
- ✗Separate pieces can make chilling, fitting, and storage more involved.
- ✗Rigid cooling materials may not follow the leg’s natural contours comfortably.

One Extra-Tall Gel Wrap Simplifies Broad Leg Coverage
The Extra-Tall Full Size measures 25 inches high by 21 inches wide. Its extended profile is designed to cover the knee on a front leg or the hock on a hind leg, while the flared bottom wraps around the hoof and coronet band. A 420-denier outer provides a defined protective layer around the quilted gel sections. The wrap is sold individually, letting you purchase the number needed for your horse’s particular care routine rather than committing to a fixed pair.
For your horse, those specifications mean fewer separate pieces pressing, overlapping, or leaving breaks between treatment areas. The flexible frozen wrap can follow the leg from the upper joint region toward the hoof while the adjustable closures help you establish a comfortable fit. Cold therapy is commonly used as part of post-exercise care and may also be recommended by an equine veterinarian for heat, swelling, soft-tissue concerns, or trauma. Follow professional guidance when managing an injury or deciding how long and how often to apply cold.
For you, the payoff is a more organized routine at the home barn, show grounds, or clinic. Keep the wrap frozen until needed, apply it directly to the selected leg, secure the straps, and monitor your horse during use. There is no need to fill pockets with loose ice or coordinate separate knee, cannon, and hoof wraps for the coverage this design provides. It is a practical, horse-first approach to cold therapy from a family-owned company trusted since 1948.
