Waldhausen Cooling Boot for Horses – Leg Cooling Wrap
Description
Waldhausen Cooling Boot — Simple Leg Cooling for After Work
The Waldhausen Cooling Boot is a wrap-around boot that helps cool a horse's lower leg after exercise. It is best for riders who want a quick, reusable way to cool legs after schooling, jumping, hacking or a day at a show, without standing with a hose.
It fits around the cannon bone area and fastens in place, so it stays put while your horse stands in the stable or on the yard. Keep one in the lorry and one in the tack room and it becomes an easy habit at the end of every session.

- Remove, clean and allow to dry fully before storing flat away from direct heat.
FAQ
When should I use a cooling boot?
Most riders use one after exercise — following schooling, jumping, a fast hack or a competition day — or in warm weather when legs feel warm after work.
How tight should the boot be?
Snug enough to stay in place, loose enough to slide a finger between the boot and the leg. A boot that is too tight can cause pressure on the tendons.
Will it fit a pony or a cob?
Leg length and cannon bone circumference vary a great deal between types. Measure your horse's lower leg and compare it with the size option you are ordering; if you are between sizes, choose based on the circumference rather than the height.
Is it reusable?
Yes. Clean the boot after each use and let it dry completely before storing so it stays fresh and ready for the next session.
Can I use it on a swollen or injured leg?
No — not without advice. This is a stable-management aid, not a veterinary treatment. If you notice persistent heat, swelling, lameness or any wound, speak to your vet before applying anything to the leg.
Can I leave it on overnight?
No. Use it for short, supervised periods only and remove it before turning out or leaving the horse unattended for long spells.
