Interesting article. I think the Queen and Prince Phillip look absolutely stunning in their compression suits too.

I was thinking the same thing. Horses can be a little....splashy.

Clean them with a power washer with a fine spray nozzle. That's how we wash down our horse blankets.

Looks like overkill to me. I can see their use of compression on the limbs, but not all the rest.

Adding air filled chambers and sequencing them to mimick what walking does to aid venous return would be a tremendous tool to use on horses requiring very limited mobility secondary to a leg injury.
Interesting product. Look how well smb did.
Thumbs up.
