Carry-Cool® draws heat away from hot muscles while adding the right amount of refreshing cold to targeted areas associated with equine cooling.

TESTING:

All subjects were tested in a controlled environment including veterinarian collaboration.  Each subject served as their own control, and all were fit sport horses.

RESULTS:

Our robust results revealed that each of the horses that used the Carry-Cool® protocol in the Experimental Phase (see blue below), exhibited significantly faster heart rate and respiratory recovery times including a relaxed physical appearance, compared to their Control Phase (without the  Carry-Cool®) where two of the horses had no respiratory or heart rate change in the initial five minutes post-exercise. 

     

 

DISCUSSION:

"Carry-Cool® shows promise, even in very early phases of product trials, as a useful tool in the recovery of horses post-exercise. In addition to metrics such as shortened times to reduction of heart rates and respiratory rates, Carry-Cool has a calming effect that will be quantified in later trials. Carry-Cool® offers a portable, efficient, easy-to-use and most importantly, effective alternative to cumbersome and heavy cooling equipment." - Amanda Jo Calvird DVM, KLM Equine, Canton, GA
