Why buy a Solarium for your horses?

 

 

Reduced risk of injury

The heat emitted can penetrate both superficial and deeper tissues. This stimulates blood circulation, cell metabolism and muscle relaxation.

 

Horses with tense muscles are more likely to get injured than horses with relaxed muscles. Like massages, horse solariums encourage the horse to release tension and relax.

 

 

Easy to heat up and cool down

One of the great advantages of a horse solarium is the reduction in warm-up time. A 20 minute pre-work session is ideal to warm up the horse's muscles before exercise.

 

Horse solariums are also very useful when work is already done. By promoting the breakdown of lactic acid after exercise, the device effectively prevents muscle stiffness, further reducing the risk of injury.

 

 

Maintain performance during the winter

Due to bad weather conditions, many horses lose their condition during the winter months. They take longer to warm up and cool down and their willingness to work decreases.

 

Research shows that horses that received an hour of light therapy every day were physically and mentally better able to cope with winter work. 

 

 

Increased blood circulation

As already mentioned, horse solariums promote good blood circulation in the horse's muscles. Especially beneficial where the saddle and rider's weight reduce blood flow to the back muscles.

 

Horse solariums with infrared lamps also increase the absorption of sugars into the blood. Increased blood circulation stimulates hormone production in mares and stallions, which is an advantage during breeding.

 

 

Fast drying

A horse solarium is effective in drying horses quickly. This is a great advantage in winter when horses take longer to dry after exercise.

 

 

Shiny coat

The heat from a horse solarium also stimulates the production of natural oils in your horse's coat and promotes shedding. As a result, horses have a smoother, shiny coat that is sure to stand out at shows!

 

 

Faster healing and recovery

Finally, horse solariums can even save you money on vet bills! Infrared heat exposure promotes tissue healing and repair, which is crucial for horses undergoing intense exercise.

 

Horse solariums can also help heal saddle sores and eczema, clear sinus congestion, and prevent muscle tension. Overall, they are an excellent form of therapy for horses, making horse solariums a worthwhile investment for many stables.
