Accelerated Post-Event Recovery for Clydesdales
Circulation Support When the Work Stops
Protocol
After a rigorous event or heavy training session, a Clydesdale's muscles are working through the metabolic by-products of hard effort. Movement is what normally clears them, so the hours a horse spends standing still afterwards are the hours that matter most. Hidez graduated compression is designed for exactly that window.
The graduated pressure applied across the Clydesdale's major muscle groups supports venous and lymphatic return towards the heart at the point when the horse is no longer generating that flow through movement of its own.
For top-performing Clydesdales, applying a Hidez suit immediately after cool-down ensures they bounce back faster, remain supple the next day, and can maintain a demanding competition schedule without burnout.
Expert Insights
Frequently asked by clydesdale post-event-recovery
How long should my Clydesdale wear the recovery suit?
For optimal recovery, the Clydesdale should wear the suit for minimum 2-4 hours post-exercise, but it is completely safe to leave on overnight in the stable.
Does this replace icing my Clydesdale's legs?
Hidez focuses on large muscle group recovery (shoulders, back, hindquarters). We also offer specific Hidez compression ice socks for localized tendon and ligament cooling.
