Well-being means how a horse feels and functions day to day—ease of movement, willingness to work, and how quickly they settle after effort. Many equestrians use PEMF as a non-invasive add-on within a smart plan (training, saddle fit, hoof care, turnout, nutrition, bodywork, vet oversight).
Note: PEMF supports the body’s own recovery processes. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease. Always involve your veterinarian.
Why PEMF may support overall well-being
-
Comfort & relaxation: Often described as calmer toplines and easier starts the next day.
-
Function in real life: Human clinical reviews show modest gains in pain/stiffness/function; in horses, use it as one tool and track individual response.
How different programs use it

Barrel – pre-run looseners; post-run settle.
