Targeted Cold Therapy for Hard-Working Hooves

After a long day in the arena or a tough session on the trail, heat and inflammation are the enemies of your horse's long-term soundness. The Professional's Choice Black Ice Bell Boots provide a specialized, professional-grade solution for post-performance recovery, bringing therapeutic cooling directly to the hoof and coronary band where it's needed most.

Unlike stiff ice packs that leave gaps and lose their chill quickly, these boots feature innovative gel pockets that remain soft and pliable even when pulled straight from the freezer. This ensures the cold contours perfectly to your horse's unique shape, while the heavy-duty neoprene exterior acts as a high-performance insulator to keep the therapy active for the full duration of the session. From our barn to yours, we know that recovery is just as important as the ride itself.

Why Your Horse Needs Black Ice Bell Boots

• Contoured Cold Transfer: The interior gel pockets stay soft and pliable even when frozen, allowing the boot to wrap snugly around the hoof for maximum surface contact and effective cooling.
• Thermal Insulation: Wrapped in a durable neoprene exterior, these boots lock in the cold to maintain the ideal temperature for a full 20-minute therapy session.
• Versatile Recovery Tool: Whether you are managing chronic conditions like laminitis or simply cooling down after a jump round, these boots help reduce localized inflammation and "stocking up."
• Secure Hook-and-Loop Closures: Designed with the quality you expect from Professional's Choice, the heavy-duty closures ensure the boots stay in place while your horse stands tied or in the cross-ties.
• Simple Sizing: Available in Medium (14–15 hands), Large (15–16.2 hands), and XL (16.3+ hands) to ensure a proper fit for any athlete in your string.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose the right size for my horse?

Sizing for the Professional's Choice Black Ice Bell Boots is based primarily on your horse's height: Medium fits 14–15 hands, Large fits 15–16.2 hands, and XL is designed for horses 16.3 hands and up.

Q: Can I ride my horse while they are wearing these boots?

No, these are strictly therapy tools. They are designed for stationary use in the cross-ties or stall and should not be used during exercise or turnout.

Q: Is there a trick to making the cold therapy more effective?

Yes! For the best results, we recommend wetting the horse's hoof and the lining of the boot before application. This moisture helps increase the cold transfer from the gel pockets to the hoof wall.
