The CATAGO FIR-TECH Hock Boot is designed to support recovery, comfort, and performance by combining anatomical fit with advanced far-infrared (FIR) technology.
Lined with ceramic FIR-Tech fibres, the boot reflects the horse’s natural body heat back into the hock area as far-infrared energy. This gentle warmth may help stimulate blood circulation, reduce muscle tension, and ease joint stiffness, making it ideal for use before or after exercise or during rest periods.
Its lightweight, flexible construction ensures excellent comfort and freedom of movement, while the secure Velcro closures provide a stable, close fit without unnecessary bulk.
