Equilibrium Massage Pad for horses

€470.70

Description

What inspired the Equilibrium Horse Massage Pad? The original Massage Pad which was created to help a successful ex-racehorse,
who went through the retraining process after an impressive 71 races. Combined
with the Equilibrium Magnetic Back Pad, Jack went on to pursue a new career in
Endurance!

What are the benefits of massage for horses?
Massage is well known for its ‘feel good’ factor and has been shown to aid
relaxation, and assist with the maintenance of healthy muscle and muscle
function. Tension is often one of the most common reasons for poor performance.
By increasing relaxation and improving back flexibility, the negative effects of
tension can be reduced. A relaxed horse, with relaxed muscles, will move with
fluidity and suppleness which is particularly important for competition horses
performing dressage movements, and those jumping technical fences.

What is it made of?
The Massage Pad is made up of polyurethane, or PU, with foam padding. The PU
outer makes the product extremely hardwearing, but also hygienic – which is
ideal if it is shared between many horses and ponies. It is resistant to water
and grease, but also to fungus. This material paired with the padding also makes
it comfortable for the horse.

Four massage motors are positioned in the target areas for horses and ponies.
There are two either side of the wither and another two just behind the saddle
area. The careful design of the massage pad then facilitates the spread of the
massage along the back muscle.

Who is this Horse Massage Pad for?
While this Massage Pad is suitable for multiple sizes of horses, the size who
most benefit from the standard size are those 14.1hh – 16.1hh, or in 5ft9 to
6ft3 rugs. Pony and XL sizes are available for horses and ponies either side of
that range.

You can use the horse Massage Pad before riding, after riding or on a day off!
Here's a few scenarios:

Horses on box rest to maintain good circulation.
After exercise to help support recovery.
Before exercise as part of warm up.
At a show after travelling to relax.
On your horse or pony’s day off as general maintenance.
Anytime as a reward.
How does the Equilibrium Massage Pad work?
The control panel allows you to select low, medium or high settings and as a
result, you can choose the intensity of the program to suit your pony. Each
program runs through a cycle of three different types of massage – pulsing,
vibration and stroking –to ensure all muscles are worked in different ways.

Choosing your setting:

LOW for cool down after exercise, for a sensitive horse or to introduce the pad
to your horse for the first time.
MEDIUM to warm up the muscles prior to exercise or for general maintenance.
HIGH if your horse prefers a more intense massage.
The massage pad will run for 30 minutes before turning itself off automatically
however, you can manually turn it off sooner if needed.

It can be used on its own or in conjunction with the hand-held Massage Mitt for
an all over massage, or the Massage Mitt Hotspot to combine heat and massage.
