United States Eventing Association

Eventing horses give everything they have on course—and what comes after the ride can be just as important as what happens during it. When it comes to caring for our horses post-exercise, effective cooling can play a critical role in recovery and long-term soundness. That’s where the ARMA Sub-Zero Ice Boots come in.

Tendon and ligament injuries are among the most common concerns in performance horses. After intense work, whether that’s galloping through cross-country, jumping a technical show jumping round, or drilling flatwork in training, horses' lower limbs heat up and take on wear. Without proper cooling, inflammation can build, delaying recovery and increasing the risk of injury over time.

Cold therapy is a proven method to help reduce inflammation, support circulation, and promote healing, ARMA Sub-Zero Ice Boots make that therapy simple and effective. Designed for convenience without compromising on performance, these boots offer a practical solution for riders who want to care for their horses' legs with the same level of dedication they bring to every ride.

Practical Cooling, Professional Results

Crafted with a unique gel that stays pliable when frozen, the Sub-Zero Ice Boots mold comfortably to the contours of the horse’s leg, providing maximum surface contact and coverage. The result is an even, consistent cooling effect that helps reduce inflammation and ease soreness in key areas like the tendons, fetlocks, and ligaments.

“We always use the ice boots after we’ve worked [the horses], especially after shows,” says Shires Pro Rider Georgina Round. “I love these particularly because they are super flexible and easy to put on.”

With secure touch-close straps and breathable outer fabric, the boots are designed for comfort and stability. Riders can use them straight from the freezer or store them in a cooler for travel days.

Built for the Everyday Athlete

Just as riders are investing more in preventative care, tools like the Sub-Zero Ice Boots help make that commitment easy. Whether used as part of a daily cooling routine or kept on hand for post-competition recovery, they offer us peace of mind, and real benefits for equine athletes.

From the first jump to the final cooldown, the ARMA Sub-Zero Ice Boots are a smart addition to any grooming kit. Because great performance starts with great care, and every ride deserves a thoughtful recovery.
