Infrared Therapy – Deep Heat for Muscle Recovery

Premier Equine infrared rugs use nano nylon filaments to reflect your horse’s heat back as far-infrared radiation, promoting muscle relaxation, circulation, and recovery. The breathable, moisture-wicking lining also acts as an anti-chill barrier, making the rugs ideal for warming muscles before exercise or cooling down afterward.

Magnetic Therapy – Boost Circulation & Wellbeing

Magnetic therapy rugs incorporate strategically placed magnets to stimulate blood flow, promote healing, and reduce discomfort in muscles and joints. This therapy supports overall wellbeing, particularly for older horses or those with chronic joint stiffness. Combined with infrared technology in some rugs, magnetic therapy provides a synergistic effect for enhanced recovery and performance.

Targeted Therapy – Boots & Wraps

Alongside infrared rugs, magnetic boots and wraps provide focused therapy for your horse’s legs and joints. These portable, easy-to-use pieces of equipment deliver the same therapeutic benefits as the rugs, improving circulation, reducing stiffness, and aiding recovery in specific areas. They are an essential part of the Premier Equine therapy range, allowing targeted treatment wherever it’s needed most.

FAQs

When should I use an infrared or magnetic therapy rug?

Infrared and magnetic therapy rugs are most effective after exercise, training, or competitions to support muscle recovery, relieve stiffness, and improve circulation. They are also beneficial for older horses or those with joint discomfort. Do not use these rugs on horses with open wounds, infections, or specific health conditions, and always consult your veterinarian if you are unsure.

Can therapy rugs, boots, or wraps be used together in one session?

Yes, therapy rugs, boots, and wraps can be used together to provide comprehensive treatment. For example, an magnetic/infrared rug can be combined with infrared/magnetic boots or wraps to target the whole body and legs simultaneously, improving circulation, reducing muscle tension, and supporting recovery. Always ensure the horse is comfortable, the equipment is properly fitted and follow recommended session times for each item.

How long should I use magnetic or infrared therapy rugs and when is it best applied?

Magnetic and infrared therapy rugs are designed for both pre- and post-exercise use. Magnetic rugs should only be applied when your horse is at a resting heart rate, typically before exercise to help warm muscles and improve circulation, or after exercise to aid recovery, reduce muscle tension, and support overall wellbeing. Infrared rugs, using nano nylon filaments to reflect heat back into the horse’s body, can also be used before exercise to properly warm muscles and after exercise to ensure a gradual cool down.

For infrared rugs, start with 30–60 minutes per day during the first week, gradually building up to up to four hours daily for optimum treatment. These rugs can be left on for up to twelve hours if needed. Regular use on horses in training can enhance effectiveness.

How should I care for magnetic therapy rugs, boots, and wraps?

Magnetic therapy products contain embedded magnets, so they should never be machine washed as this can damage the magnets and reduce effectiveness. Instead, hand wash or gently wipe the surface with mild soap and water, then allow to dry naturally away from heat sources. Regular cleaning helps maintain hygiene and ensures your therapy rugs, boots, and wraps continue to perform effectively while remaining safe and comfortable for your horse.
