Ice Horse ECT System - "RATING: If 4 is the top; this is a 5"

"Cold and compression are the key elements to prevent sports injuries and to reduce inflammation in a chronic or traumatic situation. It is no wonder that many people recognized the Ice Horse system as the same kind of system that had been used on them for sports related injuries…" [READ MORE]

Evendura - "Once again, MacKinnon has a great product."

"The wonderful thing about this product is the First+Ice Inserts. They are a non-gel reusable pack that does not freeze to be impossibly stiff. Other ice inserts are often so stiff that when you try to bend them around the horses’ legs; they break and leak…" [READ MORE]

Joie Gatlin - International Show Jumping Competitor

"Ice Horse cold therapy products are a part of our daily regime, both at our show jumping competitions and at home."

Sharee Wright and "Seeya"

"Ice Horse products kept my horse in competition when several veterinarians said she was done. Cold therapy works!"

Susan Dutta - International Dressage Rider

"Inflammation is a normal event after physical exercise. Daily therapy with Ice Horse products snuffs out these small fires before they become a major blaze and more difficult to control."

Tami Hoag - International Grand Prix Dressage Rider

"Small inflammations occur from daily physical exercise and a good maintenance program keeps the tissues healthy and strong. Ice Boots are part of our daily regime. You must always pay close attention to the well-being of your horse and Ice Horse is at the forefront of my daily regimen."

Jonty Evans - International Event Rider and Trainer

"As an international event rider, time is of the essence when preparing and competing at shows. I have been very impressed with the MacKinnon Tendon Wraps. The wraps usage is versatile as it can be used for pre and post preparation at shows and for training events."

Volume 9 Number 6 - June, 2002

Easy Cold Therapy for the Hoof

"A cleaner option which keeps the feet dry and also allows the horse to lie down during the treatment is the new MacKinnon Ice Horse Big Black Boot. A skid resistant plastic polymer, wide web, oversized bar shoe is molded to the bottom of a durable padded synthetic upper boot that opens with flaps in the back.

"Inside the boot is heavy duty netting on the sides/ front and bottom that hold cooling packs. (First+Ice®). The packs remain pliable after freezing. The boot closes securely with hook and loop straps. The boots provide effective, but not excessive cooling for up to two hours. The boot works great for horses with sole bruises and sore feet as well.

"The boots from MacKinnon are excellent, and we’ve not seen anything that makes cooling hooves simpler or more effective. In addition they’re durable. We would make them a tack room basic, not just for laminitis episodes, but for pain relief with sole bruising and sore feet."

Volume 6 Number 5 - May, 1999

Bowed Tendons Take Cold, Time, Support

"A bowed tendon means a lengthy lay-up. And there is no such thing as a miracle cure or quick fix… There is one all-important rule for dealing with acute tendon injuries; cold, cold and more cold… The more cooling done in a 24 hour period the better. The MacKinnon Ice Horse Cold Therapy machine is unsurpassed for providing continuous cooling without the associated watery mess. The gentle compression offered by this device is a plus in controlling swelling."

Volume 4 Number 9 - September 1997

BOTTOM LINE

"We feel Ice Horse is the superior product. Labor is minimal, although for safety reasons someone should be present during treatment. Fit and comfort for the horse are excellent and the application of cold is well tolerated. The fact that the cold remains constant for up to eight hours is what really impressed us. Plus the excellent and even compression over the treatment site aids in the control and elimination of edema."
