The Back on Track Royal Deluxe Therapy Hock Boots consist of two parts, a durable and sturdy outer shell and a thick inner cotton with Welltex® technology. The Deluxe model is anatomically designed to provide an optimal fit around the hock. The outer shell is well shaped with strategically placed seams to avoid pressure points on the horse's sensitive tendons. The opening at the point of hock ensures good flexibility and a secure fit.
The inner cotton lining rides high on the leg with a rounded shape to provide the best comfort possible. The padding can be easily removed when washing the hock protectors as it attaches to the outer part with a hook and loop fastener. The inner cotton has a Welltex® infused lining. The material reflects body heat in the form of far infrared energy. It can stimulate blood circulation in the area and relieve problems of stiffness, inflammation and arthritis. The hock boots are equipped with three strong and durable self-gripping straps. The central strap has a two-part elastic band to prevent pressure on the joint. The hock boots are suitable for use during rest in the stable or during transport.

The BACK ON TRACK Effect
The BACK ON TRACK® range of products are all made containing innovative Welltex® fabric with a woven-in ceramic, which is known for its thermo-reflective properties. This fabric is made from polyester and polypropylene fibres (some products contain cotton fibres) infused with ceramic powder. Ceramic gives Welltex® fabric its unique property: the reflection of body heat, in the form of infrared heat radiation.
Heat Radiation
Infrared radiation is a known energy form used to increase well-being and generates a favourable effect for muscles and joints. The reflected heat helps to ease muscle tension, promote blood circulation and reduce inflammation, aiding the recovery process following injuries or strains. BACK ON TRACK products work naturally in generating their own heat – no external heat is added. The result is consistent, soothing warmth created exclusively by reflecting heat from the body.
