Vibration Therapy and its Effectiveness in the Treatment of Horses

Clinical trials as well as practical applications have established beyond doubt the effectiveness of vibration therapy in the treatment of horses.

Vibration Therapy

Horses when treated with vibration plates for about 30 minutes every day have shown notable changes within five to six weeks. Horses are put on vibration plates of size 7 feet length x 3 feet width x 5 inches height. The machine used for vibration therapy of a horse is provided with individual controls for the vibrators kept at the front and back feet. At the running track, the vibration machine could be kept adjacent to a wall, with posts for support. A horse is to be subjected to the vibration therapy treatment on the vibrator for about 20 minutes with an observer holding the animal at the spot. You can start with low vibration frequency and increase it slowly as the horse relaxes during the entire operation.

Saddle Pads

Saddle Pads are exclusively designed to provide support for the muscular profile of the horses at the back of the shoulder. The fit of the saddle pads should be matching with the muscular contour of the horse back. Wedges are also used to fill the gaps to provide additional support. Saddle pads are made from blended wool, have excellent shock absorption properties and protect the horse from constant impacts and jerks of the jockey during a competition or racing event. The well contoured construction of the saddle pads suit the profile of the horse’s back, augments comfort and offers perfect saddle fit. The spliced withers running over the spine helps to ease out the pressure exerted on the spine of the horse.
