Rowena’s Equine Pulse Therapy

30/05/2026

Managed to get this module finished last night!! This was really interesting as I see a lot of these in my every day work such as tie up horses, muscle atrophy and trauma, pssm and even the odd neurological horse.
Although osteopathy and body work can not fix these conditions we can make sure the horse is comfortable, that they are getting good blood flow and that the diaphragm can move freely. Vertebral mobilisations can also help with mobility and nerve supply

Are you looking for the perfect little red light therapy back pad for your horse? We have these back in stock. This is my favourite product and has sold really well. It has a built in battery and uses a usb charger for ease of use. It’s the perfect size to be used in multiple places. Ideal for lower backs, necks or even wrap around a leg if you want. Can be easily wiped clean so you can use it on yourself too.
These are great for in between PEMF sessions to continue providing targeted cellular energy to areas we have highlighted. I also like them for warming up under the saddle on cold mornings before you tack up. Throw a light blanket over the top and let the pad run through it’s 15 minute cycle.

Are You Riding All Your Gears?

One of the biggest “aha” moments I see with riders is the tendency to stick in one gear, the “comfortable” pace we default to again and again. But here’s the truth: your horse’s fitness and suppleness depend on your willingness to shift gears, regularly and intentionally.

Riding multiple speeds within each gait wakes up the neuromuscular system, boosts circulation, and helps your horse move more fully and fluidly. Too much time stuck in one pace? That leads to stiffness, imbalance, and restricted motion.

Want to get started today? Here are a few of my favorite drills:
• Counting Steps — mark your baseline between two poles, then subtract or add strides as you go.
• Cardio Intervals — alternate bursts of faster work with recovery in a 1:1 ratio.
• Zig-Zag Poles — demand a gear change right into technical footwork, then speed back up.

Remember: it’s not about being perfect in transitions, it’s about pushing the envelope just enough so the horse learns to adjust, engage, and adapt. That’s real growth.

Let’s challenge ourselves this week, ride all your gears and see how your horse responds.

Why do horses go straight for their hay or feed after their Pulse PEMF session?

It's something we see all the time and trainers/owners will often comment; oh that horse doesn't usually eat a lot of hay or he's been off his feed and now he's back on.

PEMF stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system of the horse putting them into a rest and digest state.

Healing and all that cellular activity the PEMF has just stimulated in the body uses a lot of energy -which needs a lot of calories. That is why it is vital horses and people are well nourished and hydrated to get the best of their Pulse PEMF sessions. I always recommend electrolytes too after a session to help encourage fluid intake and flush out toxins

People will also comment that they slept really well after their session. The body is working hard to repair while we are sleep. PEMF encourages this process.

If your report ever reads your horse was showing sensitivity somewhere this is what I mean. Here we can see the body taking the PEMF energy to the stifle even though I’m working quite far away on the thoracic/mid section.

Is your horse feeling their joints in this colder weather we can help. I have lots of red light tendon boots, hock boots and some knee boots in stock. Red light therapy can be used to increase circulation and decrease inflammation and pain. Pm the page for more info
