[RC] lots of questions! - Patti Kuvik

1.  I decided I wasn't totally happy with our ice boots.  We have 2
different brands with inserts that we freeze.  One isn't so bad and has
had other good uses, but one I didn't like at all.  I saw someone with
some boots that she soaked in ice water and then they were nice and wet
and flexible to put on the horse.  She didn't know the brand since she'd
bought them used and there were no markings, so what ice boots of this
type are out there (pros and cons) and who sells them?<<<<

I have "ice boots" like this - Chilla Boots from NZ.

When I have to ice, I just leave the boots in the cooler between icing,
adding ice cubes as needed to keep it cold. As long as you have a cooler or
bucket and ice, you have ice boots - no need to freeze.
When you first get them, feels like "rice" in the channels and takes a
little while to completely swell up - should read the directions the first
time using.
Susan (owner of SaddleUpTack in Fla) is from NZ and has a few products we
don't normally see. If she doesn't have it she'll find and get it.
I haven't seen Chilla Boots anyplace else in the US.
