A non-profit horse rescue in Athens, Ohio. They rescue between 150 and 200 of these “nurse mare foals” A YEAR! There is nothing wrong with these foals. They can grow up to be 4-H horses, trail companions, and even show winners.
The following video is 19 of the 80 foals they took in. This is the first time these foals have been out in the “big paddock,” experiencing a life many thought they did not deserve.
So I went to a polo match the other day and saw this massive device.
I had no idea what it was until I saw the sign
It's a horse massager. The woman selling it says her horse just melts when she puts it on him. She also says she likes to lay it out on the living room floor, wrap herself in it and turn it on high. I don't have a horse but I want one.
ORRR you can buy a cheap human PEMF mat for a mere $700 - $1,300. I can’t afford those either but I do have a 6” X 9” horse/dog red light therapy pad that I have used extensively on my critters and myself since 2004. It cost ~$275 back then.
These devices absolutely work on horses in hard work or with musculoskeletal injuries. They are not a fluffy way to burn money. The problem is they are way out of reach for a blue collar person’s horse.
