The Halo is a revolutionary tool that brings together four different healing therapies into one holistic experience. With this amazing product, you can ensure your horse will get the best possible care for optimal physical health and emotional well-being. Let’s explore how The Halo can help make your horse healthier, happier, and more content!

What Is The Halo?

When your horse needs relief from muscle soreness, The Halo is the perfect solution. It packs four different types of therapy into its revolutionary design: heat, vibration, infrared light, and magnetism. This combination creates an unparalleled experience that can help increase blood flow to the area while relaxing tight muscles. Infrared light helps reduce inflammation while magnetism aids in restoring balance and harmony in your horse’s body. All this in a lightweight machine you can easily transport and use anywhere you go. With The Halo, you’ll have all the therapeutic power you need at your fingertips!

How Does The Halo Work?

The Halo works by combining four different therapies into one holistic experience. The heat helps to increase blood flow and circulation which can help reduce pain and inflammation. Vibrations work to relax tight muscles while infrared light helps to reduce swelling in deeper tissue layers. Lastly, magnetism works to balance your horse’s nervous system, providing them with a sense of calmness and relaxation.

Additionally, The Halo has a variety of settings so you can adjust the intensity of each therapy depending on your horse’s needs. This makes it incredibly easy-to-use and able to provide relief for a variety of conditions and ailments.

How To Use The Halo On Your Horse

Using The Halo on your horse is a breeze with just three simple steps:

  1. Select the desired mode.
  2. Place the device on your horse’s body.
  3. Set the timer for five minutes or longer depending on how long you’d like the session to last.

Start by gently massaging any tight or sore muscles with The Halo’s curved headpiece. After a few minutes, move on to the next area of their body. If needed, adjust the intensity of vibrations or heat to ensure your horse’s comfort level is met. After a few minutes of treatment, remove the Halo from their body and let them rest for several minutes before beginning another session.

If you’re looking for a tool that can help your horse relax and reduce muscle soreness while you’re on the go, add The Halo to your tack box! With its versatile design, you can adjust the intensity of each therapy to meet your horse’s specific needs, ensuring they get the best possible care.

How Equine Sports Massage Can Help Your Horse

January 19, 2023

If you have a horse, then you know how important it is to keep them healthy and happy. An often overlooked way of doing this is equine sports massage. This type of massage therapy is specifically designed for horses and provides a number of benefits. It can help your horse relax and reduce their stress, improve their physical performance, increase the range of motion in their joints, reduce inflammation and swelling, strengthen the muscles, improve circulation, and more. Let’s explore why equine sports massage can be beneficial for your horse.

What is Equine Sports Massage?

Equine sports massage is a type of massage therapy that uses specific techniques to target sore or over-worked muscles. It employs methods such as trigger point release, passive stretching, and Swedish massage to improve the horse’s flexibility and range of motion, while also reducing muscle tension and promoting relaxation. The goal of this type of massage therapy is to help the horse perform better by improving their condition both physically and emotionally.

The Benefits of Equine Sports Massage

Sports massage for horses offers a variety of benefits for both competition-level athletes and leisure riders alike. Regular practice of massage therapies can help improve your horse’s performance by:

  • Increasing their flexibility, range of motion, and mobility
  • Reducing muscle tension, promoting relaxation, and reducing stress levels
  • Improving circulation and lymphatic drainage
  • Strengthening core muscles which is essential for better performance in any discipline

There are many physical benefits associated with equine sports massage such as improved range of motion in the joints and increased flexibility in the muscles. This can lead to improved performance both in training and competition as well as increased stamina during exercise.

Equine sports massage can also benefit a horse’s emotional well-being by:

  • Reducing anxiety and stress levels
  • Lowering the horse’s heart rate
  • Integrating body, mind, and spirit to improve overall balance
  • Enhancing the bond between rider and horse through a calming, soothing experience
  • Helping horses better cope with stressful situations

Not only does massage reduce inflammation and swelling but it also helps maintain overall health and wellness in your horse. This makes it an integral part of any horse’s equine care plan.

How Often Should Your Horse Get an Equine Sports Massage?

You may wonder, how often should my horse get a massage? The exact frequency at which you should schedule an equine sports massage for your horse depends on their individual needs. However, it is generally recommended that horses receive massages once a month when they are actively participating in competitions or training. Older horses may need to be massaged more often – up to once a week – while younger ones may only need them every few months based on their activity level. Ensuring that your horse gets regular massages will help keep them healthy and performing at their best!

I spent yesterday massaging, lasering, using The Halo and doing bodywork on the 8 horses of BraveHearts after their 20 mile ride through NYC on Saturday, to help with awareness of Veteran suicides.  It was wonderful to see the old friends I made when I did them in 2019, and meet the new friends from this year’s ride.
