If you have the Horseware If you use ICE-VIBE gaiters regularly, they can promote the blood circulation in your horse's legs.

The gaiters have three different settings. You switch on the gaiters by pressing the "ON" button for a long time. With each subsequent press you switch up one level.
Level 1: For getting the horse's leg used to vibration. Use this setting once a day for the first week. The vibration panel switches off automatically after 10 minutes.
Level 2: For everyday use. Switches off automatically after 20 minutes.
Level 3: For very sturdy horses or for the hind legs. Switches off automatically after 20 minutes.
Please note!
Start with level 1 for the first few days to allow your horse's leg to get used to the gaiter and to ensure that the leg does not swell during use. If the leg swells after use, your horse could have a fracture or an infection. The gaiter must NOT be used in the event of a fracture or infection. Do not use the gaiter if your horse has screws or plates in its legs. Always use the gaiters with the cool pack if you have swelling or bruises. If you are unsure, consult your veterinarian before use and clarify the use with him.
