Elico Hotline Electric Fencing LeMieux Lincoln Perry Equestrian PolyJumps Red Gorilla Shires Equestrian Stubbs Unbranded All Brands The Equilibrium Massage Mitt helps to promote relaxation whilst improving flexibility and muscle condition.

Performance depends on freedom of movement, full flexibility and an absence of musculoskeletal pain, all of which can be improved using massage (Gellman, 1998). Spend longer on the areas that are specific to what your horse needs. We suggest 4 minutes per targeted muscle group, again being sure to do the same on both sides of the horse. For more information on muscle groups specific to discipline, read here. How can Massage benefit horses? The Hotspot will run approx. 10 x 10 minute heat and massage sessions from a fully charged battery (based on the high massage setting). To prolong the life of your battery, please disconnect when not in use. Choosing your setting Massage and heat are two simple ways in which we can help support healthy muscle function in our horse.

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. The Massage Mitt can be easily incorporated into your warming up and cooling down routine. The medium setting can be used to help warm muscles up prior to exercise. The low setting can then be used to cool down the muscles. Using heat will draw more energy from the battery than massage. When your battery no longer has enough power to run heat, all icons on the control panel will flash and turn off. You will still be able to use massage for a while after this happens. To use heat again, please fully recharge your battery. Who is the Massage Mitt Hotspot Heat Pad for?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. The battery can take up to 12 hours for a full charge, and once charged will power at least 10 x 10-minute sessions with heat and massage on the high setting.
