  • Equine thermal therapy overleg device
    Patent number: 11701210
    Abstract: An equine thermal therapy overleg device that encircles a pastern of a subject horse and provides thermal therapy to the subject horse. The may include a pastern dual layer component, a distal phalanx cover and a distal phalanx slipper. The arrangement of the pastern dual layer component, a distal phalanx cover and a distal phalanx slipper allow for free movement of the subject horse and for a thermal fluid to contain ice and prevent the ice from becoming lodged around the subject horse hoof.

  • EQUINE CRYOTHERAPY DUAL COMPARTMENT BOOT
    Publication number: 20210275350
    Abstract: An equine cryotherapy overleg device that encircles the lower limb of a subject horse and provides cryotherapy to the subject horse. The one-piece device includes upper and lower fasteners, a pastern area that will hold ice and ice water and a vertical zipper. The arrangement of the hoof cover, and hoof slipper allow for free movement of the subject horse and for a thermal fluid to contain ice and prevent the ice from migrating under the subject horse hoof.
