Are there any contradictions when using the Hofmag?

Due to there being some contraindications with use of the Hofmag please ensure you have completed our Client Registration Form prior to your initial Hofmag appointment. These contraindications will be discussed and reviewed at each session. Contraindications include:

The Hofmag cannot be used to treat a patient or animal if they are pregnant. We are also unable to use it on an animal if the handler is pregnant. If this is the case we would require an alternative handler to be present for the appointment.

We can not use the Hofmag if the patient has electrical implants such as a pacemaker, insulin pump or cochlear implants.

The Hofmag should not be used within 10 days over a site which has been injected with cortisol injections (steroid).

The Hofmag should not be used on a patient who has epilepsy or undiagnosed seizures activity.

Can I ride my horse / Walk my dog after they have received Hofmag treatment?

This varies depending on the reason for physiotherapy and our assessment findings. The physiotherapist will advise you on this on an individual basis following the session. In some routine cases where the Hofmag is used for maintenance or performance, your horse can be ridden straight after treatment.

In most cases dogs would benefit from a gentle walk following treatment. However this is at the physiotherapists discretion based on the assessment findings and post treatment exercise advice will be provided at the end of the session.

❄️ Cold Weather = Higher Risk of Impaction Colic ❄️

As temperatures drop, the risk of impaction colic in horses increases. Winter management plays a big role in keeping equine digestive systems healthy—here’s what every horse owner should know 👇

⸻

🐴 What is Impaction Colic?

Impaction colic occurs when dry, firm feed material becomes stuck in the horse’s intestine, usually in the large colon. This blockage slows or stops normal gut movement, causing pain and potentially serious complications if not treated promptly.

⸻

🚨 Signs of Impaction Colic

Signs can range from mild to severe and may include:
• Reduced or absent manure production
• Dry, hard f***s
• Decreased appetite
• Lethargy or depression
• Pawing, stretching, or looking at the flank
• Lying down more than usual or difficulty getting comfortable

Always contact your veterinarian if colic is suspected.

⸻

🧊 Why Does Cold, Freezing Weather Increase the Risk?

Cold conditions contribute to impaction colic for several reasons:
• Reduced water intake: Horses often drink less when water is cold or frozen
• Drier diets: Increased reliance on hay with less moisture than pasture
• Decreased gut motility: Less movement and colder temperatures can slow digestion
• Frozen or limited water sources: Even short periods without adequate water can lead to dehydration

Dehydration + dry feed = higher risk of intestinal blockage.

⸻

✅ How to Help Prevent Impaction Colic
• Ensure constant access to fresh, unfrozen water (ideally lukewarm in winter)
• Monitor daily water intake and manure output
• Soak hay or feeds if recommended by your vet
• Encourage regular movement and turnout
• Make dietary changes gradually
• Schedule routine dental care and parasite management

Cold weather doesn’t have to mean colic risk—with good management and close observation, you can help keep your horse healthy all winter long 💙🐎
