If you are away on holiday and no one is exercising your horse for one or even two weeks, your horse is not going to lose a lot of fitness. Don't worry about your horse, the break will be as good for them as it is for you!

The studies into exercise - training and detraining - suggest that it takes approximately 2 - 4 weeks for heart rate responses to change, 4 weeks (with turnout) for bone mineral density to reduce significantly and 4 weeks muscle endurance capacity to reduce.

So a week on the beach for you, and a week in the field for your horse will be fine! I would suggest you should return to work progressively when you are back, and check that they are coping with what you are asking them to do. The 'skills' side of things should be OK as well, after a couple of easier lower intensity sessions.

I get asked this question a lot, and there are differences if your horse has an injury or is on box rest, but a fit healthy horse does not need to be constantly in full work to maintain their fitness. So go on - have a cocktail and relax🍹😎🏖

Really nice post explaining the difference between INDIBA and Hoffmag👏🏼

Several people have asked me recently what the difference is between Hofmag and Indiba. I’ve also been made aware that there are some very skeptical claims being made comparing the two, so, here is a summary;

⌨️ Indiba is a brand name for radio frequency treatment - this brand operates specifically at 448KHz, which has over 40 years of trials to show optimal stimulation/healing.

🧲 Hofmag is a brand name for pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT) - most Equine/Canine therapists will have a PEMFT device and include it in your regular treatment sessions.

⌨️ Indiba works on a closed circuit - a base-plate attached to the patient and an active electrode which is moved over the target area - the current travels through the body to the base-plate, giving you full pe*******on.

🧲 Hofmag uses a copper coil and an electrical current to introduce magnetic waves into the body - the depth of field varies depending on intensity, but generally it would only be effective to approximately 10-20cm depth.

⌨️ Indiba has a wide range of applications; collagen production, pain modulation, muscle relaxation, osteoblast stimulation, stem cell proliferation…. It can be used to treat everything from damaged soft tissue and bone, through to working as pain relief for arthritis, laminitis and both localised and systemic issues.

🧲 Hofmag is a very useful tool for inflammation reduction, mild pain relief, osteoblast stimulation and muscle relaxation. However, it needs to be used multiple times a day, on a daily basis for acute conditions to see a measurable effect.

🎓Qualifications - Indiba will only sell to qualified professionals (physio’s, osteo’s, chiro’s etc) whereas PEMFT is available to all. Be VERY cautious when utilising one of these machines as a stand-alone treatment, that the operator is a fully trained and Qualified - DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR PROOF!
