Equilibrium Massage for Horses

Keeping your horse comfortable and performing at their best takes more than just good nutrition and regular exercise — maintaining healthy, supple muscles is just as important. That’s why many riders choose to make Equilibrium Massage products part of their daily routine, helping to support muscle function whether their horse is in light work, returning to fitness, or competing regularly.

Designed to support circulation, relieve muscle tension, and aid relaxation, these therapy products are trusted by riders across all levels and disciplines. Whether used as part of your daily routine or to help your horse recover after exercise, they’re a simple, effective way to look after your horse’s body as well as their performance.

What Is Equilibrium Massage?

Equilibrium’s massage range includes lightweight, battery-operated pads and mitts that use gentle, pulsing massage to stimulate blood flow and ease muscle stiffness. These portable, easy-to-use products can be used on the back, neck, or quarters, helping your horse feel more supple and relaxed.

The range is popular with competition riders, leisure riders, and professionals alike — not just because of the results, but because the kit is practical, portable, and easy to incorporate into everyday routines.

When to Use Equilibrium Massage

Equilibrium massage products are designed for regular use and are suitable for most horses — from veterans to youngsters, and everything in between. They fit easily into everyday routines and can be particularly effective when used alongside other recovery and care products.

Many riders use them:

• Before exercise – to gently warm up muscles and prepare the body for work.

• After exercise – to support muscle recovery, reduce stiffness, and encourage relaxation.

• On rest days – to help maintain circulation and muscle suppleness, especially in stabled horses.

• At competitions – ideal for travel and in-between classes, helping horses stay flexible and focused throughout the day.

Used in combination with cooling gels or soothing lotions, Equilibrium massage pads and mitts can enhance the effectiveness of your recovery routine — offering both mechanical and topical support to tired or tight muscles. They're also a valuable addition to your grooming routine, giving you the chance to check in on how your horse's muscles are feeling day to day, and identify any areas of sensitivity early on.

The Benefits of Equine Massage

Just like humans, horses benefit from regular soft tissue work. While professional massage therapy has its place, Equilibrium products give you a practical way to maintain those benefits between sessions.

Some of the key benefits of regular massage include:

• Improved circulation

• Reduced muscle tension

• Support for lymphatic drainage

• Aiding warm-up and recovery

• Encouraging general relaxation and wellbeing

Used alongside grooming and care routines, massage can also help you build a stronger bond with your horse — particularly useful for sensitive types or horses returning from time off.

Easy to Use, Easy to Maintain

Equilibrium Massage Pads and Mitts are lightweight, user-friendly, and come with rechargeable batteries. They feature automatic settings, so you can set them going while mucking out or preparing feeds — making them a practical part of your daily stable routine.

With simple controls and wipe-clean surfaces, they’re easy to maintain and ideal for use at home or away.

Is It Right for My Horse?

Most horses respond well to Equilibrium massage, but it’s always worth starting gradually — especially with sensitive or nervous horses. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidance and consult your vet or therapist if your horse is recovering from injury.

Whether you’re looking to support a competition horse, improve comfort for a veteran, or simply give your horse that extra bit of care, Equilibrium massage offers an easy, effective solution.
