Dry Cold Therapy

Game Ready Equine introduces dry cold therapy and compression application.

Game Ready Equine introduces dry cold therapy and compression application. The company developed the product with feedback and designs from veterinarians.

The product alleviates pain from soft-tissue swelling in horses. The portable Game Ready System which consists of leg wraps and an adjustable control unit, is as easy to apply as shipping boots, the company says.

To accelerate recovery and help prevent injuries, the wraps completely surround the horses' legs and a control unit pumps temperature-controlled water and air into the wraps. Two wrap styles are available: Dual-utility wrap that has two 14-inch by 11-inch wraps designed to treat specific areas of the leg. The second is a dual full-leg wrap that consists of two full-length wraps that cover the top of the horse's knee down to the top of its hoof.
