“I love the Ice-Vibe boots, we use them every day at home or away. A product that finally focuses as much on healing as reducing inflammation.”

"Although technological advances have been slow to impact the equestrian world, ICE-VIBE boots are bucking this trend and will quickly make regular ice boots a thing of the past. I've been using the ICE-VIBE boots and our horses' legs have never been better following strenuous workouts. I couldn't be happier with them."

"The Ice Vibe boots are an excellent cold therapy system. We use the boots on the horses after strenuous exercise and find them to be very effective and easy to use. The newly developed longer boots are ideal for hind legs and the horses appear to be very comfortable wearing them. In my opinion they are the most effective and user friendly way of cooling."

"They made such a significant impact on my horses recovery. I have had huge success with the ICE-VIBE boots. My Grand Prix horse had surgery in the spring, I started to use the ICE-VIBE boots as my part of my rehab routine just using the vibration before riding and the cooling after. At each check up my vet could not believe the difference in my horses leg, he is now fully recovered but I still use them everyday and currently buying another pair for my other horses. They're just amazing, I have suggested them to many other riders. They truly are one of the best products on the market"

"Ice-Vibe therapy has been great for our horses. Tendon care and maintenance is always a top priority for us because of the stress cutting can have on our horses' legs. We run the Ice-Vibe several days a week on all of our horses in training. It not only helps to alleviate soreness, but also helps to prevent injuries by increasing circulation. It's a great product that is easy to pack up and take on the road to shows. The horses enjoy it and I can rest easy knowing their legs are being taken care of."

"I just wanted to drop you a brief email to let you know what a difference your boots have made to my horse, Rowan. Last year Rowan was diagnosed with Navicular Syndrome and at 16 years old, I was told by vets that the hope of returning to full work was slim and that retirement was the likely outcome. At 16 and having owned him for 10 years, I wasn't ready to give up and researched various options to try and make him more comfortable, one of which was purchasing a pair of your Ice Vibe boots. I use them 20 minutes every day and with a combination of remedial farriery, managing his workload and correct feeding, my gorgeous boy is sound and enjoying life. We've been schooling, hacking and jumping, so thankfully retirement seems a way away again! My equine physio and I are convinced that the Ice Vibe Boots play a major role in his continued comfort through the stimulation of blood flow to his palmar region, so thank you!. "

"The Ice-Vibe design is easy to handle and easy to transport. The modality incorporates cold therapy and massage to hocks, knees and lower limbs, creating and managing healthy circulation and blood flow before and after competition. The Ice-Vibe is also effective in managing injuries that require ice therapy and massage. The Ice-Vibe helps extend the longevity of performance athletes and is a must have for performance horse owners."

"Having read in depth about Horseware Ice-Vibe boots I felt they would be the ideal for my mare who has recently had hind suspensory problems. I discussed this with my trainer Stephen Thompson and with no hesitation I got in contact with Horseware to ask their advice. With the care and welfare of my horse at the for front of our minds myself and Stephen started to use the boots on Tikka. Tikka and I are aiming for great things over the next 3 years, as a para rider I am currently competing and aiming towards Rio 2016. Tikka has big paces, working advanced medium and is often out on a weekly basis competing. The ICE-VIBE boots have been one of the best aids in our daily routine to prevent strains and keep her legs sound. I have even convinced Stephen to use them on his competition horses in his yard as part of his daily routine, we are both seeing great results. We competed at Bishop Burton college 19th-21st July at the CPEDI **achieving highest placed British para rider and pulling in a score of just short of 72% winning the freestyle to music test on the last day. Massive thanks to the team at ICE-VIBE.

"Your product is amazing. I can attest to the fact as I believe that it has saved my horse! He was injured by a groom negligently leading him between two tractors and hitting the remote on the garage door opener. Scared him and he fell into the tractor ripping his superficial tendon. The ultrasound showed the tendon black... After 6 weeks he was still a grade 3+ with only a fair chance of recovery. 2 months later after using IceVibe before and after as recommended, he is trotting 15 mins a day and is about to start cantering again. I can't thank you enough for developing the product!!"

"As someone competing and caring for an established Grand Prix show jumper who is well into his teens, it is of the upmost importance he receives nothing but the best care, if he is going to continue at such a high level. I did my research and the ICE-VIBE range of boots came highly recommended from other top riders around Europe, since beginning with these boots two short months ago I have noticed a fantastic improvement in Merry Jest's tendons not only after work but in general. I have been using these boots both before and after work, to massage ready for work and to cool after and i could not be happier with the results, Merrys legs look cleaner then ever and there has been no sign of tendon soreness after heavy jumping since! I will be using the ICE VIBE range exclusively for my top horses in the future."

"I just wanted to drop you a note regarding the boots following our purchase of them from you at Burghley. We've used them on our mare who had residual scarring from lymphangitis to great effect. I've also used them on swollen legs recovering from mud fever and other bashes and bruises and they've been invaluable. I use ours every day and would happily recommend them!"

"The ICE-VIBE boots are used daily in our yard they are a one stop shop for before and after care of our horses legs."
CIAN WELDON
DISCIPLINE: Dressage

"I compete in most Pony Club disciplines, tetrathlon, eventing, showjumping etc., and have evented with Eventing Ireland.
My horse had a 30% tear on the superficial tendon. I used the ICE-VIBE boots on him every day, he is now finishing his recovery in the field until January. His progress was incredible, considering he got loose on two occasions, taking full advantage of the opportunity to gallop and buck, not once did it become inflamed. "

"The ICE-VIBE boots are simple & straightforward to use, & deliver even better results than their more expensive counterparts. Because they are so portable we keep a few pairs in the lorry for competition and use them in the yard daily."

"We are using the ICE-VIBE boots a lot in the yard they work great on bumps and bruises. I use them on certain horses after they have worked hard and they seem to really help the legs recover. I like that they are not just cold boots and that you can use them as a massage boot to increase circulation."
EMILY GILRUTH YARD: Topwood Farm
NATIONALITY: British "ICE-VIBE boots were given to me to use on an advanced event horse. I am always worried about heat in their legs, especially after hard exercise. These boots really do help reduce heat, swelling and bruising and I would recommend them to anyone with similar worries. They don't slip down like other boots and are very easy to use - even my husband can put them on his hunters!"
