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 6-8°F
or more, for up to seven hours.
Your horse, whether a performer or companion horse, is continually at risk for tendon injuries, sore shins, inflamed leg muscles, and even acute sprains and bruises. During exercise, running and jumping, horse tendons stretch and contract, supporting tons of force. Pushed beyond their capacity, these tendons can rupture, causing inflammation and releasing chemical mediators (cytokines), accompanied by heat, pain and swelling.
Since your horse's comfort is our primary concern, we developed the Extend-A-Cool® Transdermal Cooling System—a proven, effective cooling therapy for horses. These convenient Cooling Sheets, used in conjunction with the supportive Mesh Wraps, reduce swelling and inflammation, alleviate acute symptoms and relieve discomfort immediately and uniformly.
Gentle, Soothing Extend-A-Cool:
Provides controlled cooling therapy for horses for up to six hours or more
Conforms to the shape of your horse's leg for uniform tissue cooling
Applies quickly and easily to your horse's leg
Easy, no-mess application (no melting ice or running water)

Convenient to use anywhere, anytime—traveling, at shows or in the stable
Compact and easy to store
In addition, Extend-A-Cool is a moderate cold therapy for equine leg injuries, designed to prevent the possible tissue damage that can occur with frozen products when used for extended periods of time.
