Sportz-Vibe’s massage action is gentle enough that it won’t over-work your horse’s muscles, but will effectively reduce muscle tension, and removable massage panels mean you can target a specific area.

Massage therapy is one of the oldest known methods of therapy, and is renowned for its ability to promote healing. Massage can help to reduce pain, improve blood supply to tissue, and reduce inflammation. By encouraging the lymph system to move, massage helps to drain inflammation and stimulate repair to damaged tissue.

Using before exercise can help reduce the risk of injury as increasing blood flow to muscles, tendons and ligaments helps to make them more elastic. Sportz-Vibe can help manage every day wear and tear, and help your horse to recover more quickly after hard work. 

Sportz-Vibe has two treatment settings, and can be used up 3 times a day. You will be able to buy additional vibrating panels to add to your blanket for more intensive therapy.

The Sportz-Vibe rug is breathable, adjustable for horses of different builds and, once the panels and rechargeable batteries are removed, it is machine washable. The blanket is available in:

  • Small: 63” -69”
  • Medium: 72” - 78”
  • Large 81” - 87”
  • MSRP $649.00
