Announced earlier this year, IceHorse formed a new partnership with Equine Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation (ESMR). Dedicated to treating the performance horse, ESMR features the professional insight of leading veterinarian Dr. Sherry Johnson, DVM, MS, DACVSMR, alongside her co-owners, Dr. Josh Donnell, DVM, and Dr. Cameron Stoudt, DVM.
“Nothing compares, in effectiveness and in quality to IceHorse. The anatomic fit of the IceHorse wraps, hoof boots, and back blanket are the absolute best on the market, says Johnson. And the products fit so well, and with excellent insulation, that I’m able to utilize them for both cold and heat therapy for my patients.
IceHorse products feature patented Cold Capsule inserts which allow for targeted cryotherapy in both injury prevention and rehabilitation. The application of IceHorse products allows for an efficient, combined approach of cold therapy and compression. This type of cryotherapy plays a critical role in post-exercise recovery, management of chronic inflammation, treatment of injuries, and more. And these effective treatments can be easily administered both at home and on the road.
“At ESMR, our mission is to provide the best, evidence-based veterinary care for actively competing equine athletes and those rehabilitating from orthopedic injuries,” said Johnson. “Our alliances with like-minded industry leaders such as IceHorse ultimately advance the level of care we can provide.”
To further support the soundness and longevity of the performance horse, IceHorse will be working alongside the ESMR veterinarians to continually refine the existing line of products and, working together, have plans to create new custom pieces for rehabilitative use.
“We’re thrilled to be collaborating with ESMR and Dr. Sherry Johnson,” said Julie Garella, CEO and president of MacKinnon Products, LLC, the parent company of IceHorse. “Their veterinarian-directed rehabilitation practice is at the forefront of equine sports medicine, which makes for the perfect partner to develop and use our products.”
IceHorse products are available through their website at www.icehorse.com and will be available with ESMR at nationally-sanctioned competitions throughout the year, in addition to the ESMR clinic and at their rehabilitation center.
