Extend-A-Cool® is an effective remedy to address sore shins, inflamed leg muscles and tendons, and reduce swelling from acute sprains and bruises. When applied to the lower leg, the temperature under the wrap may be reduced by up to 6°F or more, for up to six hours.
To find out how well Extend-A-Cool cooling therapy for horses works in real-life situations, researchers have conducted in vivo (in living tissue) tests to augment laboratory testing.
Extend-A-Cool Cooling Sheets were evaluated in the following scenarios to address equine leg problems and therapy:
On resting race horses
After race horse training
After pleasure horse riding
In each of the tests, researchers noticed rapid and significant cooling—as
much as 6-8°F reduction in local body temperature for the area
applied. Read more about the test methodology and results.
