Shires Arma Hot / Cold Relief Boots

The Shires ARMA Hot / Cold Relief Boots are versatile therapy boots designed to provide targeted temperature treatment to a horse’s lower legs. Suitable for both hot and cold use, they offer a practical way to support joint and tendon comfort before or after exercise, or as part of a structured recovery routine.

Designed for ease of use in the stable or wash area, these boots can be filled or prepared for either warm or cold therapy depending on your horse’s individual needs. Cold therapy is commonly used after exercise to help support recovery and reduce heat in the lower limbs, while warm therapy can be used to encourage flexibility and comfort prior to work or during rehabilitation.

The flexible, close-contact design ensures effective coverage around the lower leg, allowing the chosen temperature to be delivered evenly across the target area. Secure fastening straps keep the boots firmly in place during use, while the durable outer material is designed for repeated use in busy yard environments.

Soft inner lining materials help improve comfort against the horse’s skin, making the boots suitable for regular stable-based therapy sessions. Lightweight and reusable, they offer a convenient alternative to traditional bandaging or prolonged hosing.
