Waldhausen Cooling Hoof Boot with Gel Pad - Pair
Description
Waldhausen Cooling Hoof Boot - Even, Long-Lasting Gel Cooling for the Hoof
The Waldhausen Cooling Hoof Boot is a pull-on horse hoof boot with an integrated gel cooling pad that delivers long-lasting, even cooling across the hoof. Sold as a pair, it is designed for horse owners, grooms and yards looking after a horse or pony with a hoof disorder, and is best for keeping in the stable first aid kit ready to chill and use.
The gel pads are built into the boot rather than being removable inserts, so there is nothing to lose or refill. Each boot is held in place by two fixed touch tape fasteners, and the boots are chilled in the refrigerator or freezer before they go on.

How to Use
- Place the hoof boots in the refrigerator or freezer and leave them until the gel pads are fully chilled.
- Pick out and clean the hoof so no stones, mud or bedding are trapped inside the boot.
- Lift the hoof and slide the boot on, seating the hoof squarely on the base.
- Secure both touch tape fasteners so the boot is snug but not tight around the pastern.
- Monitor the horse while the boots are on and remove them once the cooling effect has faded.
- Wipe clean, allow to dry, then return to the refrigerator or freezer ready for the next use.

FAQ
Is the Waldhausen Cooling Hoof Boot sold as a pair?
Yes. The boots are supplied as a pair, so you can cool both front hooves or both hind hooves at the same time.
Can the gel cooling pads be removed?
No. The cooling pads are integrated into the boot and are not detachable, so the whole boot is chilled together and there are no separate inserts to lose.
How do I chill the boots before use?
Store the boots in the refrigerator or the freezer before use. Allow enough time for the gel pads to cool through fully so the cooling lasts longer on the hoof.
How do the boots stay on the hoof?
Each boot is closed with two fixed touch tape fasteners. Adjust them so the boot sits securely without pressing tightly on the pastern, and keep the touch tape clear of hair and bedding so it keeps its grip.
What are cooling hoof boots used for?
They are used to apply even, long-lasting cooling to the hoof and are suitable for horses with hoof disorders. If you are unsure whether cooling is right for your horse, ask your vet or farrier first.
Are they reusable?
Yes. Wipe the boots clean after use, let them dry and return them to the refrigerator or freezer so they are ready for the next application.
