Incrediwear Equine Circulation Hock Sleeves

Smarter support for one of the hardest-working joints in your horse’s body.

The Incrediwear Equine Circulation Hock Sleeves are designed to support circulation, comfort, and recovery around the hock — ideal after training, travel, competition, or as part of ongoing management for stiffness, swelling, arthritis, or soft-tissue strain.

Made with Incrediwear’s semiconductor-infused fabric containing germanium and carbon, the sleeves are activated by body heat to help support blood flow and the body’s natural recovery process — without compression, straps, ice, or external power.

Key Benefits

• Supports circulation and oxygen delivery
• Helps manage swelling and inflammation
• Assists joint comfort and mobility
• Supports soft-tissue recovery
• Non-compressive design
• Suitable after work, travel, or overnight
• Reusable, washable, and easy to apply

How to Use

Dry Use — Circulation & Recovery Support

Use dry after exercise, during recovery, overnight, or while travelling.

Dry use may support horses managing hock stiffness, mild swelling, arthritis-related discomfort, post-training recovery, or travel-related filling.

The integrated silicone grip band helps reduce slipping.

Tip: For active horses or overnight use, a light layer of vet wrap over the top may help keep the sleeve secure.

Wet Use — Cooling & Inflammation Support

For cooling support, soak the sleeve in cold water, wring it out, and apply.

Wet use may be useful after hard work, competition, acute soreness, or veterinary treatment where cooling support is recommended.

Use for approximately 30–60 minutes, or remove once dry.

Product Features

• One-size-fits-most

Important Sizing Note

The Incrediwear Equine Hock Sleeves are designed as one-size-fits-most with a stretch-fit ergonomic shape.

Due to differences in horse anatomy, they may not fit every horse, particularly those with very large, very small, or unusually shaped hocks.

Scientific Validation

Thermographic testing on the hock region has shown measurable temperature and circulation-related changes following Incrediwear use, including:

• Increased vascular activity around the saphenous vein
• Increased warmth at the tendon and bone interface
• Sustained post-removal warmth, suggesting ongoing circulatory activity
• Visible vascular activation from the hock toward the lower limb

Dry application has demonstrated a thermo-adaptive effect, supporting perfusion, oxygenation, and recovery even in cooler conditions.

Wet application testing has shown cooling effects of up to -7.3°C, with cooling sustained for over an hour and residual vascular activity after removal.

These findings support the use of Incrediwear as a non-compressive, ice-free option for circulation, recovery, and inflammation management.

Conditions That May Benefit

The Hock Sleeves may be useful as part of a management plan for horses experiencing:

• Hock inflammation
• Hock arthritis or stiffness
• Bog spavin, bone spavin, or synovitis
• Post-injection recovery support
• Suspensory ligament strain or desmitis
• Tendon soreness or overuse
• Stocking up after stall rest or travel
• Windpuffs or lower-limb filling
• Soft-tissue soreness after competition
• Recovery after hard footing or intense training
• Long-haul travel recovery
• Controlled rehabilitation programmes

Always follow your veterinarian’s advice for injury, lameness, injections, or post-treatment care.
