Combat the Effects of Cold Weather on Equine Limbs

After prolonged periods of cold weather, like many humans, horses can also be left with stiff joints and as a result suffer from reduced mobility. Winter often means horses spend a lot of time in the stable which leaves some with swollen or filled legs.

To help ease joint stiffness and to reduce fluid build up in the legs the Equissage Hand Unit can be used daily. Many horses and ponies have benefitted from the unique cycloidal massage which Equissage provides.

The hand unit can also be used to treat
specific ailments such as tendon and ligament injuries, pulled muscles, stiff and sore backs, foot conditions, sore shins, swollen knees and respiratory problems.

If used in conjunction with the Equissage Pad which stimulates the lymphatic system and improves blood circulation, the hand unit will be at its most effective providing a deeply beneficial circulatory massage.

Equissage can be used before exercise to ‘warm up’ and after exercise to ‘warm down’ and help prevent stiffness and sore muscles. Helping to promote general health and well being, the Equissage system also helps promote the horse’s skin and coat.

The Hand Held Unit is run on rechargeable batteries for maximum practicality.
