Solarium

Performance & Rehabilitation

The equine solarium, is a device used to provide radiant heat and light therapy. Solariums offer several benefits for horses, including:

  1. Muscle Relaxation: The radiant heat emitted by the solarium can help relax tense muscles in horses. This is particularly beneficial before or after exercise, as it can aid in muscle recovery and reduce the risk of stiffness and soreness.
  2. Improved Circulation: The heat from the solarium can promote blood circulation in horses. Enhanced circulation facilitates the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues while aiding in the removal of metabolic waste products, contributing to overall tissue health and healing.
  3. Enhanced Coat Health: Regular use of a solarium can promote a healthy coat in horses by stimulating the production of natural oils and encouraging shedding of the winter coat. The radiant heat can also help dry a damp or sweaty coat after exercise or bathing, preventing chill and discomfort.
  4. Prevention of Muscle Cramping: Exposure to radiant heat before exercise can help warm up muscles and reduce the risk of cramping or injury during strenuous activity. Similarly, post-exercise use of the solarium can aid in muscle recovery and relaxation.
  5. Stress Reduction: The warmth and gentle light provided by a solarium can have a calming effect on horses, reducing stress and promoting relaxation. This can be particularly beneficial for nervous or high-strung horses, helping them to remain calm and focused in stressful situations.
  6. Promotion of Vitamin D Synthesis: Exposure to UV light from the solarium can stimulate the synthesis of vitamin D in horses, which is essential for bone health and overall immune function.

In summary, the solarium offers numerous benefits for horses, including muscle relaxation, improved circulation, coat health, prevention of muscle cramping, stress reduction, and promotion of vitamin D synthesis.

Theraplate

Performance & Rehabilitation

Our Theraplate equipped with vertical vibration therapy plates offers several potential benefits, including:

  1. Improved Circulation: Vertical vibration therapy can stimulate blood circulation in horses. Enhanced circulation can promote healing by delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing metabolic waste products more efficiently.
  2. Muscle Relaxation: Vibrations from the therapy plate can help relax tense muscles in horses. This is particularly beneficial for horses undergoing intense training, recovering from injury, or experiencing muscle stiffness due to aging or other factors.
  3. Increased Flexibility: Regular use of vertical vibration therapy plates can help improve a horse's flexibility by loosening tight muscles and enhancing joint mobility.
  4. Enhanced Recovery: Vibration therapy can aid in the recovery process for horses following intense workouts or competitions. It can help reduce muscle soreness and stiffness, allowing horses to recover more quickly and return to training or competition sooner.
  5. Injury Prevention: By promoting muscle relaxation and flexibility, vertical vibration therapy may help prevent certain types of injuries in horses. Flexible, supple muscles and joints are less prone to strains, sprains, and other musculoskeletal issues.
  6. Stress Reduction: The rhythmic vibrations produced by the therapy plate can have a calming effect on horses, reducing stress and anxiety levels. This can be particularly beneficial for horses that are nervous or high-strung, helping them to relax and focus better during training and competition.
  7. Improved Hoof Health: Vibrations from the therapy plate can also benefit a horse's hooves by promoting circulation and encouraging healthy hoof growth. Better circulation can help prevent conditions such as laminitis and abscesses, while enhanced hoof growth can contribute to overall hoof strength and integrity.

Overall, vertical vibration therapy plates offer a non-invasive and drug-free way to support the health, performance, and well-being of horses across various disciplines and stages of life.
