Performance Solariums



What is a Horse Solarium?

A horse solarium is a system of multiple large red lamps emitting Infra-Red (IR) rays. IR is a form of heat radiation, not to be confused with Ultra Violet (UV) radiation which provides a source of artificial sunlight for stable kept horses.

IR Therapy is gaining popularity as a safe method of natural health care and physiotherapy for humans and horses!

  • Solariums can help improve your horse's performance and condition.
  • The heat energy penetrates the skin into the underlying muscle and helps stimulate blood circulation.
  • This improves muscle elasticity helping recovery from and reduction of injuries
  • A pre-exercise warm-up under the solarium will relax and loosen muscles improving training performance by increasing blood circulation
  • Solariums help your horse recover sooner after exercise as the stimulated circulation allows the muscles to absorb blood sugars more quickly
  • Stimulated circulation enhances food absorption for better digestion which also speeds up the elimination of waste products from their system
  • Improves stamina and increases resilience
  • Ideal for drying after exercise and washing down
  • Consider using it in combination with the spa, water treadmill or exerciser for a complete rehabilitation regime.
  • Perfect solution for wash stalls or grooming areas in all sorts of barns and riding schools where horses are being prepared for competition, racing and shows and should be dried after bathing or for treatment to shorten recovery time after they have shown or raced.

Installation:

Tests have shown that the ideal height above the horse is 60 cm (24") for optimal heating and drying on the back and sides of the body.
