PEMF interacts with tissues at a cellular level—supporting membrane potential and microcirculation—so many riders use it to help horses feel relaxed, balanced, soft, and consistent through busy weeks and shows.
Note: PEMF supports the body’s own recovery processes. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Always involve your veterinarian.
Why this matters
-
Cell-level support → better “readiness” for tomorrow’s work.
-
Consistency → more good days in a row during show season.
-
Program-friendly → easy to add without changing what already works.
Who uses it & how
-
Barrel – short pre-run looseners; post-run reset.
-
Cutting – back/hips and stifles on heavy weeks.
-
Race – day-after breeze, vet-guided targeting as needed.
-
Hunter/Jumpers – neck/shoulders/back for elastic bascules.
-
Dressage – topline/haunch rhythm to support collection.
A simple session may include
-
Short gait video and notes (stride length, willingness).
-
2–3 sessions/week for maintenance during show blocks; taper down post-series.
-
Emphasis on topline + large muscle groups; add focused areas per veterinary guidance.
-
Track: warm-up length, willingness to stretch, recovery between efforts.
