HOW IT WORKS
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 in horses that are suffering from long term muscular back problems. By encouraging the lymph system to move, massage helps to drain inflammation and stimulate repair to damaged tissue.

HOW TO FIT YOUR HORSEWARE RUG
The fit of your rug is extremely important to ensure the comfort of your horse and to prevent rubbing and rug slippage. As horses of the same height at the wither come in a variety of shapes and sizes, it is useful to take certain measurements of your horse.
Using a soft measuring tape, measure from (A) at the centre point of the chest, across the point of the shoulder and to the point (B) at the centre of the tail. When you have the measurement, remove 10cm (4inches) and choose your horse’s size from the table.
Bear in mind that every horse is different and that this table is a guide only. We have many different styles to suit all shapes and sizes.
Testimonials
“My team love the Sportz-Vibe nearly as much as the horses, the lightness compared to other massage rugs is very useful when travelling and the possibility to remove the vibration panels and wash the rugs is really beneficial. The massage therapy relaxes the horses before and after competition.”
“In the Swedish Canine Search and Rescue Unit, dogs spend hours on the water in harsh conditions for days on end, as part emergency response and recovery teams. We have noticed the biggest difference with our dog Hurricane. She is 7 1/2 years old and has been working for years as a fully trained search and rescue dog. After the massage, she is very mischievous, becomes like a youngster again and with a spring in her legs. We are absolutely convinced that the dogs enjoy the massage, and that is helps them to work for longer, more effectively and more comfortably.”
