Where the BEMER Horse-Set can be used
Suppleness
Without relaxation, nothing proceeds with training. For one thing is certain: Only a physically and mentally relaxed horse can deliver its full performance. If the horse cannot "let go" in the long term, this not only has a negative impact on training, but also on the animal's health condition. In order for the horse to use its musculature as optimally as possible with a swinging back, the horse should be assisted in relaxing. Various warm-up and training exercises can help with this. And, improvement in relaxation can also be achieved through the use of BEMER.⁽¹⁾⁽⁵⁾⁽⁶⁾
Effective breeding
The BEMER Horse-Set can produce some truly remarkable results when it comes to breeding, too. It can improve the sexual behavior of stallions, for example: Overactive stallions are calmed down, while inactive stallions are stimulated. This obviously makes things safer for both the horse and the handler during the breeding process. What’s more, the likelihood of successful semen collection is also increased, while helping to ensure a more uniform semen quality in breeding stallions.⁽⁴⁾
Parasympathetic nervous system
While the sympathetic nervous system prepares the horse for mental and physical performance, its counterpart, the parasympathetic nervous system, is responsible for rest and regeneration. The so-called relaxation nerve boosts digestion and replenishes energy reserves. It becomes active when the animal is at rest. This is how you can help your horse. In addition to other types of treatment such as massages, the BEMER Horse-Set can also support this process. The BEMER blanket can cover a large part of the horse’s musculature. It thus allows the application to affect the horse’s entire body. The microcirculation is improved by the gentle impulses – the smallest vessels are supplied with blood and cell maintenance is stimulated. What does this mean for your horse? The Horse-Set can support parasympathetic processes in the organism and thus promote regeneration and relaxation.⁽¹⁾⁽⁵⁾⁽⁶⁾
Surgery
The BEMER Horse-Set can be a valuable aid both before and following surgery: Complementary use of the BEMER application can improve the horse’s response to anesthesia during surgery. What’s more, the Horse-Set can aid recovery following surgery. User observations reveal that horses spend more time lying on their side, relax better, and stand up more steadily.⁽²⁾⁽³⁾
Independent User Observation: Does the Horse-Set also bring benefits in breeding?
Working with stud horses is a true challenge - and anything but safe. Could the BEMER Horse-Set possibly make a contribution to this? This was to be shown by a user observation with 29 stallions over 11 months. The results are astonishing.
