Iconoclast Rehabilitation Horse Boots

My gelding sustained a moderate suspensory tear (13%) and as we began the trot aspect of his controlled exercise rehab, my vet recommended these boots. He was pretty insistent in his recommendation and I hope they are helpful in his recovery.

I got this based off of my vet's recommendation to help my horse recover from a strained Deep digital tendon. During stall rest, I was using some support standing wrap boots and a mixture of treatments from my vet. Once my horse was cleared for partial pasture turnout, my vet had me use these iconoclast rehab boots. My horse seems really comfortable in them and appears to appreciate the added support. The boot it is easy to put on, with strong velcro that holds really well in the field. He is moving around confidently with this boot and is almost ready to move on to walking under saddle (which is when I will transition to the ortho boots). In a nutshell, I am really pleased with this boot both for the ease of use, and for the support it is giving my horse during his recovery.

I purchased these boots for my gelding with dropped fetlocks. I was hoping the extra support would slow the progression of this problem. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the boots on him with the correct placement to help. His fetlocks are just too low and the criss-cross part would not happen. If I had been able to use these sooner, they may have helped.

My old gelding is having some tendon issues with his hinds. Bought the boots for support but they did not fit at all. I can see how they would fit their fronts well but don't his hinds.

I bought these hoping to let my horse wear them long term to provide support on an every day basis. Worn like that they cause rubs/sores and leg swelling. For an hour or two at a time, they're nice boots, but I already have some for that purpose.

My 20 year old Peruvian mare has totally damaged all of her ligaments and tendons in her left front leg and hoof beyond repair and healing. She is permanently lame but a tough horse. The boots provide the support that she needs and she continues to enjoy her pasture retirement.

The boots seem to give him more support, but I haven't quite seen any real improvement yet. Maybe give it some more time.

My vet recommended these and what a difference it has made. My old boy may never be perfectly sound, but the extra support has relieved the pain and he is enjoying turn out again.
