A working back gets sore, and a sore back changes how a horse moves. The Back and Hip Pad puts 660nm red and 850nm near-infrared light across the whole topline, 48 inches from wither to croup and part of the SI, while your horse stands tied. Four LED boards carry over 200 diodes a side; two rechargeable battery packs stick to the pad with hook-and-loop, so nothing trails to the wall. Use it before training to loosen tense muscles, or before massage or acupuncture to release trigger points. Boards zip out for replacement, everything stores in the hard case, and the wrap and cords carry a 2-year warranty against defects. Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease; consult your veterinarian for a specific concern.
The EquiCare LED Therapy® Back and Hip Pad is the perfect LED therapy solution for sore back muscles, croup, and some SI Coverage. At 48" long, this wrap will cover most horses from wither to croup. EquiCare LED Therapy® is a remarkable line of wraps at unbelievable prices for the everyday horseman, trainer, therapist, and vet.
Red Light Therapy for horses prevents, maintains, and treats soft tissue injuries and helps alleviate chronic conditions. Specifically, 2 types of wavelengths, visible red light (660nm) and invisible near-infrared light (850nm), work in unison to penetrate the levels of tissue to affect the tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints positively. The process dramatically increases the blood flow sending more oxygen throughout the body, increasing collagen, endorphins, and capillary production, speeding up the removal of waste products, and helping to heal the entire body.

"My horses love it! Helps with the nerves system. Digestive system, improves circulation and many more things. It was a good investment for sure. I wished all horses could have one. I will for sure tell other riders about it. Just wished it would come with an extra set of batteries, as well as extra leg straps. Bettina"
"Horses love this. Great product"
"I purchased this product for my horse who was diagnosed with kissing spines. I was using a smaller red light pad but needed coverage that went back to his SI joint and it became time consuming to move the smaller pad down his back multiple times for full coverage. This pad covers his entire back, from wither to just behind the SI joint and he loves it. As soon as I turn it on he completely relaxes and falls asleep for a 20 minute session. Since it fits securely with a neck strap, two hind leg straps, and contoured design, I can leave it on him in the grooming stall while I do other barn work and don't have to worry about it slipping. It is easy to use and comes in a very durable carrying case. Once I started using this product, there was a noticeable difference in how much more relaxed his back was and he is going better than ever. It is easy to use and you can set the battery packs from 5 - 30 minutes and Levels 1 - 4 in intensity. Each battery pack has a countdown timer so you can easily see how many minutes are left. This product is expensive but absolutely worth it for the results it produces."
"I bought this pad for my 5yo gelding who somehow hurt his pelvis in turnout and had lingering soreness even after PRP injections and shockwave. After about a week of using this pad every day his no longer reactive through his pelvis. He now moves entirely different under saddle and on the lunge. His massage therapist was amazed at how good he felt. So happy that he feels better! After my experience with the back pad I got some of the other red light pads as well and we do full therapy session almost every day :-)"
"The first time i put it on my horse she started chewing and yawning. She became quiet and did not move. I have found her movement is improving. I bought it for her chronic SI injury. I have been using a hand laser and this works so much better. Worth the investment."
"The horses absolutely love this blanket. They have been so happy to just fall asleep in cross ties while this runs. It has reduced a huge amount of backsoreness in a couple of my patients horses. I would highly recommend these products."
"Easy to use and this has been a game changer for my horse! Just 15 minutes before and after I ride has made him so comfortable and relaxed."
"I use this product to support my mare during her heat cycles. Her back often gets sore and she finds the pad very soothing. Much easier to ride after a session with the pad. My older horse likes it as well."
"I not only use this on my mare for daily body soreness, but also for relaxation!"
"My OTTB horse likes this after being worked. He is too much of a fidget if I try to use it before. He loves it turned up to L4. And once it is shut off, he wants to get off the cross ties. It is well designed. I hope it helps."
