Waldhausen W-Health & Care Horse Therapy Boot
Description
Waldhausen W-Health & Care Therapy Boot: Vibration, Cooling and Warming in One
The Waldhausen W-Health & Care Boot is a therapy boot for the horse's lower leg that offers three functions in one unit: vibrating massage, cooling and warming. It is best for riders and yards wanting to support leg regeneration after injury, warm up and loosen the legs before work, or aid recovery after strenuous exercise.
Cooling and massage can be combined in one session, so the cool packs help reduce inflammation while vibration stimulates blood circulation. Both the vibration and heating functions run at three levels, so the boot can be adjusted to the individual horse. Browse more horse boots to complete your leg care kit.

How to Use
- Decide on the therapy you need: cooling for inflammation, warming for loosening up, or vibration for circulation.
- For cold therapy, freeze the cool packs in advance and carry them to the yard in the insulated bag.
- Fit the boot around the horse's lower leg so it sits smoothly and securely over the tendon area.
- Charge and connect the included powerbank.
- Start on the lowest level so your horse can become accustomed to the vibration or heat, then increase if settled.
- Remove the boot after the session, wipe it clean, allow it to dry fully and return the cool packs to the freezer.
FAQ
What does the Waldhausen W-Health & Care Boot do?
It offers three functions for the horse's lower leg: vibrating massage, cooling and warming. It is used after injuries, for warming up and loosening up, and after strenuous exercise to support regeneration of the leg.
Can it be used for tendon injuries?
The boot can combine cooling and massage therapy and can contribute to the healing of tendon injuries. It is supportive equipment rather than veterinary treatment, so speak to your vet about any diagnosed tendon injury before use.
Will it fit my horse?
The tendon boot measures 35 cm in length, which suits most horse-sized lower legs. Measure the leg from below the knee or hock before ordering if your horse is a small pony or a heavyweight cob.
Can I adjust the strength of the vibration or heat?
Yes. Both the vibrating and heating functions are regulated across three levels so they can be matched to your horse's requirements.
What is included?
The boot is supplied with cool packs, an insulated cool bag that keeps the packs cool on route to the stable, and a powerbank.
Is it suitable for winter use?
Yes. It is well suited to winter, when horses spend lengthy periods in the stable, for warming up and stimulating blood flow so the tendons stay more elastic.
