Back on Track Hock and Knee Boots

Although it is generally recommended to use Back on Track products overnight (as the longer they are left on, the better the results), this is often not possible with the knee and hock boots, as many horses try to remove them. Thankfully, experience has shown that just a few hours application of these boots is usually enough, though the process can certainly be extended or repeated, if necessary to achieve the desired result.

As Back on Track knee and hock boots must be applied for a reasonable period of time to be effective (and part of that effect is increased blood flow), they are specifically designed not to restrict blood flow. As such elasticity is an important part of that design. This does however increase the likelihood of the horse displacing the product during motion, especially when attempting to lie down or stand back up. Back on Track therefore suggests that the best means of using this product is whilst the horse is reasonably restrained or confined (either tied up, confided to a small stall or yard or whilst being transported). Also, the horse should not be in a position where it can rub these boots against any sharp or protruding objects, as doing so will easily damage the neoprene external casing.
