Are you travelling comfortably?

The stress and strain that horses undergo when travelling is often underestimated. However, with the competition season now in full swing it is vital that we bear in mind the effects of transporting our horses whether it is a local twenty minute journey or long distance travel.

Travelling in a moving vehicle is physically exhausting for horses – it requires a huge amount of muscular effort to maintain balance on what is effectively a moving surface. Often horses that have travelled for long periods of time can become tucked up and tight which will undoubtedly affect not only their comfort levels, but performance as well.

The Cyclo-ssage Pro Equine Massage System has already proved a huge success among riders of all levels and is fast becoming a vital travel accessory for many horse owners. The cycloidal massage is positioned in fourteen different points across the body, from poll to hind quarters – ensuring that top to tail therapy is applied. This cycloidal massage action has been seen to relax before, during and after travel as well as help aid recovery after long journeys and help improve performance on reaching the destination.

International dressage rider, Richard Davison has found the Pro Equine Massage System invaluable when travelling his horses, "As an International Dressage rider I look at every opportunity to help keep my horses - not only physically in shape - but mentally healthy as well - it plays such an important role in achieving peak performance levels. The effect of travelling horses is often underestimated and the Pro Equine Massage System helps to relax the horses after this stress. I wouldn't be without it now!"

The benefits of using the Pro Equine Massage System are extensive and include; helping to warm up before exercise and cool down after, aiding in retaining muscular condition in horses on box rest and improving the comfort levels in horses suffering from joint conditions such as arthritis.

Prices start at £2000 + VAT.
