The "Muscle Therapy Equine" massage blanket can be used every day, as a pre-training warm-up as well as post-training cool down to remove lactic acid build-ups. Horses experience this massage blanket as extremely relaxing and the effects are immediate.
"Your horse should be treated like the athlete it is," said Muscle Therapy founder Christina Hurtley. "A horse has over 700 muscles and just like humans it benefits from physiotherapy, and to have the opportunity to be treated daily with this professional massage blanket."
"The blanket massages all the horse's muscles in the top line and the positive effects are immediately visible. Daily massages will increase a horse's performance as well as reduce healing time," Hurtley explained. "The massage blanket increases blood circulation and improves your horse's flexibility. And because it loosens muscle tension, we have even seen that it reduces swelling in the legs, joints, and tendons. Also, they feel very relaxed when they get their daily massages and it's good prevention for stress-related colics."
The "Muscle Therapy Equine" massage blanket has 16 massage engines that are powered by a battery. It comes with 10 different therapy and 5 massage programs that can be set in 5 intensity levels. The timer can be set for 15, 30, 45 and 60 minutes.
"We made sure that it's an easy-to-use design, that is comfortable for the horse," Hurtley explained. "The material is made of heat-reflecting material and there is a detachable neckpiece. The blanket packs into one bag, which makes it very easy to travel with, and it is a fantastic tool to bring to shows to relax the horse, prepare it for the work ahead, and treat it after a hard day's work."
