Hidez Compression Socks for Horses

What Do Hidez Compression Socks Do?

Hidez Compression Socks available in pairs for both front and hind legs use graduated compression. The front socks fit above the knee and hind socks fit above the hock.

The term graduated compression means applying a greater amount of pressure at the extremities (the lowest point of the leg) and the pressure reduces along the limbs and body. 

How Graduated Compression Supports Circulation and Recovery

This technique Hidez uses forces vital blood supplies out of the lower limbs (where fluids tend to pool) back into circulation, towards the heart and lymphatics.

This process enhances blood flow and oxygen availability to muscles, speeds up the removal of waste products (such as lactic acid and carbon dioxide) and helps maintain healthy circulation.

Good circulation helps support recovery, maintain muscle temperature and reduce muscle fatigue and soreness.

Compression and Tissue Support in Sport

Compression in horses, if we look at the human studies regarding compression and tissue repair, you will see that it is highly recommended. In actual fact compression and ice are one of the main form of therapy for all acute and reoccurring injuries in all forms of sport.

Research on Compression in Sport

Human sports medicine research shows that graduated compression garments are widely used to support circulation, reduce muscle fatigue and assist recovery after exercise.

These studies relate to human athletic performance but support the principles of graduated compression used in equine recovery products.

When to Use Hidez Compression Socks

The compression socks can be worn:

• In the stable
• During travel

Please note these cannot be worn in the field.

The compression supports the tissue repair process by helping reduce tendon vibration when the horse is moving around.

Comfort and Practical Features

The Hidez Socks are comfortable to wear and do not overheat legs even in extreme temperatures.

They do not slip down unless the legs are recently clipped and are secured by Velcro straps.

They are designed to be worn in the stable or travelling.

These socks are also available with ice pockets.

An Alternative to Traditional Bandaging

Hidez Compression Socks use the same graduated compression principles that riders are familiar with when using stable bandages, but provide a more consistent and convenient level of support without the need for correct bandaging technique.

They are quick to apply, comfortable for the horse and ideal for use in the stable or during travel.
