Who Is Kate, Founder of WARMEEZE?
My name is Kate Wolfe, and thanks to my best friend, my husband, my life long dream of having my own horse came true. I have ridden horses off and on since I was a young girl, but it was not until I was 50 years old that I actually got my own horse. The last three years have been ones of constant learning and lots of injuries, but never giving up even though my family thought I should. I kept reading and working and learning and I finally found the right horse, Sophie. She was a beautiful Dun mare Quarter Horse and though our time together was short she taught me so much and gave me back my confidence. She is now my Angel Sophie,always with me and she was my inspiration for the WARMEEZE. The key to anything in life is to not give up - If you can dream it, you can do it!
How Did WARMEEZE Come To Be?
WARMEEZEknee warmers were born on a cold winter night while Kate sat on the cold barn floor holding heat packs to her mare, Sophie's, legs. She had arthritis in her front knee joints and the cold bothered her, Kate's hands are always cold so she put heat packs in her gloves and it was just on a whim one night while feeding her she decided to put the heat packs to her knees to see if she would tolerate them, she did and seemed to like the heat. So every night when Kate would feed she would sit on the barn floor and hold the heat packs to her knees. Kate decided there has to be a better way for both of them and that is how the WARMEEZE came to be.
Kate has been a nurse for 35 years and somethings just do not differ whether it is human or animal, heat feels good to sore joints. The WARMEEZE was designed for comfort not healing, and she has seen her horse Sophie stand and close her eyes after she has her WARMEEZE on. The heat helps support blood flow to the area, helps to loosen the stiff joints and the muscles surrounding the joint. The heat makes it feel better to move and in the end that is what it is all about, making your horse feel good.
What Is WARMEEZE?
A WARMEEZE is a soft fleece wrap with inner pockets that hold disposable heat packs. The wraps can be used on knees and hocks to help with the stiffness and soreness that comes with arthritis.

There are three sizes of the WARMEEZE - Small - will fit ponies, mini donkey's, the hocks on horses, these will use the hand warmer size heat pack. Regular - will fit an average horse - ie Quarter Horse, Standard Bred, Morgan, etc - these can use the hand warmer size and the body warmer size heat packs. Large - will fit your draft type horses, these can also use the hand warmer or body warmer size of heat packs.

What makes WARMEEZE different from a standard leg wrap?
A WARMEEZE is not a compression boot or a medicated poultice wrap — it is a soft fleece sleeve built around inner pockets that hold ordinary disposable heat packs, turning gentle, hours-long warmth into a therapy you can apply right in the stall. The design was deliberately kept simple: there is no electricity, no cords, no charging, and no plug to trip over a restless horse. Kate Wolfe designed it for comfort rather than cure, after watching her own mare Sophie stand and close her eyes the moment the warmth settled into her stiff front knees.
How does the warmth actually help a stiff, arthritic joint?Heat is one of the oldest and most forgiving tools for sore joints, and the principle does not change much between people and horses. As Kate — a registered nurse of 35 years — explains it, the warmth from the heat packs helps support blood flow to the area, helps loosen the stiff joint itself, and relaxes the muscles surrounding it. The result is that movement simply feels better, which is the whole point: a horse that is comfortable enough to move freely is a happier, sounder horse through a long, cold winter.
Which colors and patterns can you choose?
WARMEEZE wraps are offered in four eye-catching prints so the therapeutic side never has to look clinical: Rainbow Zebra, Light Pink Leopard, Brown Leopard, and Golden Brown Giraffe. The same fleece-and-pocket construction sits behind every pattern, so the choice is purely about personality — a barn aisle of WARMEEZE is as fun to look at as it is functional.
What sizes does WARMEEZE come in, and how do you pick?There are three sizes. Small fits ponies, mini donkeys, and the hocks on full-size horses, and uses the hand-warmer size heat pack. Regular fits an average horse — Quarter Horse, Standardbred, Morgan and similar — and accepts either the hand-warmer or the larger body-warmer heat packs. Large is cut for draft-type horses and likewise takes either heat-pack size. If you are unsure which to order, the right size can be confirmed in one phone call to — ask for Kate, who is glad to answer any question.
Where do you get the heat packs that go inside?
One of the practical strengths of WARMEEZE is that the consumable part is something you already know how to buy. The disposable heat packs that slip into the inner pockets can be found wherever hunting supplies are sold, as well as at most hardware stores — the same air-activated hand-warmer and body-warmer packets used by outdoorsmen all winter. That keeps refills cheap, local, and easy to stock up on before the cold sets in.

What is a WARMEEZE?
A WARMEEZE is a soft fleece wrap with inner pockets that hold disposable heat packs. It is designed to deliver soothing, hands-free warmth to a horse's knees and hocks, easing the stiffness and soreness that come with arthritis. It is a comfort product rather than a medical cure.
Who founded WARMEEZE?
WARMEEZE was created by Kate Wolfe (full name Kathlene Wolfe), a registered nurse of 35 years who did not get her first horse until she was 50.

How did WARMEEZE come to be?
It was born on a cold winter night while Kate sat on the barn floor holding heat packs to Sophie's arthritic knees. Because Kate's own hands run cold, she kept heat packs in her gloves, and on a whim she held them to Sophie's knees — the mare tolerated and seemed to enjoy the warmth. After feeding her that way night after night, Kate decided there had to be a better way for both of them, and the WARMEEZE was the result.
How does the heat help a horse's joints?
