Let your horse relax with the Hotspot heat pad for horses.

What inspired the horse Massage Mitt Hotspot Heat Pad for horses? With the Massage range already helping horses worldwide, it seemed only natural to add the next best thing – heat! Not just a heat pad, we’ve added different types of massage so you can really tailor the session to your horses needs and preferences.
How can Massage and Heat benefit horses? Our horses work hard for us with a lot of pressure being put onto their muscles through exercise. Massage and heat are two simple ways in which we can help support healthy muscle function in our horse.
Massage
Performance depends on freedom of movement, full flexibility and an absence of musculoskeletal pain, all of which can be improved using massage (Gellman, 1998). These factors also contribute towards keeping your horse comfortable and happy in general too!
Benefits of Massage include:
Helps maintain healthy blood and lymph circulation. Soothes tired muscles. Supports recovery after exercise. Promotes relaxation. Heat
Using heat is a great way to help sensitive horses who may find massage too much. Heat is non-invasive, gentle and well accepted with many associated
benefits.
Research suggests that tissue temperature needs to increase by at least 3 to 5°C
from the resting temperature (Bockstahler et al, 2004). However using something
that is too hot could cause discomfort and even damage to the tissue.
