XLR8 G-Force Germanium+Compression Hind Boots
Overview
With one zip, the XLR8 G-Force Germanium+Compression Hind Boots offer a fast, safe way to provide compression and infrared therapy to your horse's lower leg. A powerful proprietary blend of germanium, copper, and ceramics reflects far-infrared energy into the body which, along with compression, improves blood flow and fights inflammation to promote healing and speed recovery. To be used in the stall or on the trailer, these boots combat stocking up wind puffs, cellulitis, or other edema of the lower leg. With a strong zipper, velcro on top and bottom, and thick fabric that provides gradient compression, these boots will stay secure on the leg overnight or throughout the duration of travel!

Zip the boot down completely, ensuring that the protective backing is smooth behind the zipper. Place zipper pull in the up position and secure with velcro closure. Readjust tension on top band as necessary.
Previous Feedback
Comments: I purchased the large for my 16.3 dutch warmblood who has thick legs and I was really concerned that they were going to be too small. My first time putting them on they were quite difficult to zip. However, after a single night in these boots her swelling was completely down and 3 days later we have not had them puff up again. She is a retired jumper with an old suspensory injury. Before these boots, we were fighting swelling every morning regardless of how much we hand walked or poultice. Now we have these boots in our arsenal she is doing much better.
