Did you know that...
Does menthol activate specific cold receptors in the skin (TRPM8) that normally respond to actual cold? This creates an intense sensation of cold, even though the skin temperature hardly drops at all. In addition, the cooling gel ensures that heat is actually drawn from the skin through evaporative cooling – a physical effect that noticeably cools the surface. Together, this results in a dual cooling effect: perceived cooling from menthol and a real reduction in temperature through evaporative cooling.

FAQ
What is the effect of the cooling gel?
The gel cools the skin surface immediately, penetrates deeper into the tissue, and unfolds its regenerating, decongestant, and muscle-relaxing effects there.
What is camphor – and why is the cooling gel free from it?
Camphor is a strongly scented, natural active ingredient obtained from the wood of the camphor tree. It has been used for centuries in ointments and gels – primarily due to its cooling, circulation-promoting, and mildly anesthetic effects. However, camphor can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, or even respiratory problems in sensitive horses (and humans). Camphor becomes particularly critical when used in higher concentrations or over an extended period. Furthermore, it is under observation because it can be absorbed through the skin and is considered doping-relevant in some cases. For these reasons, we have deliberately omitted camphor from our cooling gel. Instead, we rely on gentler alternatives such as menthol and essential oils, which provide a comparable cooling effect – but without the unwanted side effects. This makes our cooling gel particularly skin-friendly, gentle, and harmless – even for sensitive horses or in competitive sports.
What exactly are parabens – and why do we deliberately avoid them?
Parabens are synthetic preservatives used in many cosmetic products. They are very effective, have a long shelf life, and are relatively inexpensive. At the same time, however, they are suspected of influencing hormonal processes in the body. Even though this effect in cosmetic products has not been conclusively proven, we have consciously decided against using these substances. We have developed a modern formula for our cooling gel that is completely free of parabens. This means: You receive an effective, high-quality cooling gel with natural ingredients that is also particularly skin-friendly – entirely without unnecessary additives.
Is the cooling gel doping-free?
Yes, according to the current "List of Forbidden Substances in Equestrian Sports" by the German Equestrian Federation (FN), the gel does not contain any prohibited ingredients.
What makes the ingredients so special?
Plant extracts such as arnica, St. John's wort, and horse chestnut have anti-inflammatory, circulation-promoting, and regenerative effects – in a completely natural way.
Which horses is the Cooling Gel suitable for?
The cooling gel is suitable for all horses – from sports horses to leisure partners. It is especially recommended after intense strain, training, or competitions.
When should the cooling gel be applied?
Ideal after training, during stall rest, when traveling, in cases of overexertion, or on hot days to support circulation.
How often can the cooling gel be used?
The cooling gel can be applied several times a day as needed.
Can the cooling gel be used under bandages?
Prolonged use under bandages is not recommended.
Where on the horse should the cooling gel be applied?
Mainly on the legs, particularly on tendons, ligaments, and muscles. Also suitable for targeted application on insect bites or local swellings. Do not apply to open wounds or mucous membranes.

Description

HyperCooling effect - deep-acting cooling: After application to the skin, the cooling gel initially provides an immediate cooling effect on the upper tissue layer, triggered by natural evaporative cooling. Unlike ice or cold packs, which constrict vessels and thus inhibit blood flow, microcirculation is maintained. Essential oils even specifically promote this, which makes the cooling effect last longer and simultaneously allows the plant-based active ingredients to be transported more effectively into deeper skin layers.
- Supports regeneration after exertion
- Reduces swelling
- Relaxes muscles and joints
- Promotes blood circulation and recovery
- Anti-inflammatory thanks to natural herbal extracts
- Relieves itching, burning, and irritation
- Activates circulation on warm days
- Calms irritated skin
- Doping-free (FN compliant) - tournament-permitted and safe to use: The cooling gel contains no components listed as doping-relevant on the ADMR (Anti-Doping and Medication Control Rules) list of the German Equestrian Federation (FN). The formula was developed with sports use in mind and is therefore also safe for tournament horses. All contained active ingredients comply with current regulations and can be used without a waiting period according to FN rules. This makes the cooling gel ideal for use in daily training as well as directly during athletic competitions.

High-quality, natural extracts - proven for centuries: Plant extracts are among the oldest and most effective remedies in naturopathy. Their natural bioactive ingredients have a regulating, soothing, and anti-inflammatory effect - without unnecessarily stressing the skin. They support tissue regeneration, promote blood circulation, and can effectively alleviate swelling and feelings of tension.
- Arnica Montana: Known for its blood-circulation-promoting, anti-inflammatory, and swelling-reducing effects. It is traditionally used for bruises, strains, hematomas, and muscle tension and helps to relieve pain and swelling after heavy exertion or injury. Especially in the area of muscles, tendons, and joints, arnica supports regeneration and accelerates tissue recovery.
- St. John's Wort: Has a calming, anti-inflammatory effect and supports the regeneration of stressed skin and tissue structures. It is traditionally used for tension, muscle pain, and minor nerve irritation. Through its nourishing and balancing properties, St. John's wort helps to soothe irritated skin and promote the healing process - especially after intensive exertion or minor injuries.
- Horse Chestnut: Is particularly well-known for its vessel-strengthening and swelling-reducing properties. It supports venous return and can therefore have a soothing effect on heavy, tired, or swollen legs. Especially after standing for a long time, heavy physical exertion, or a tendency to fluid retention, it helps to reduce feelings of tension and noticeably relieve the tissue.
- Menthol: Provides an immediately noticeable cooling effect on the skin that refreshes and calms. It has an irritation-relieving, slightly numbing effect and helps to quickly alleviate itching, burning, or feelings of tension. At the same time, menthol stimulates blood circulation, thereby supporting the targeted supply of active ingredients to the tissue.
- Application - cools immediately and acts long-lastingly: Apply a small amount (approx. 30 g per limb) along the entire length of the legs after intensive physical exertion. Massage in gently to support absorption through the skin. Vigorous rubbing should be avoided. Prolonged use under bandages is not recommended. The cooling gel should not be applied to open wounds or abrasions. Application is possible several times a day as needed (for external use only).
