ArcEquine: Training and Competition

As every rider knows, training and competition cause physical and psychological stresses on a horse, making effective management of health, soundness and wellbeing of fundamental importance to success.

As a horse’s bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons are subjected to the workload of his training and competition schedule, small ‘micro tears’ occur in all tissues. Recovery is dependent on his body’s ability to heal this microscopic damage in what should be a naturally regenerative cycle resulting in a stronger, fitter horse able to work harder and compete more successfully.

It is only when these so-called micro tears can’t heal fast enough to keep up with the stresses imposed on them that ever-more significant damage occurs and ultimately, an injury results. The aim in training is therefore to balance the stresses on the tissues with adequate recovery time and for a growing number of riders, regular use of an ArcEquine.

ArcEquine technology is known to reduce pain, inflammation and swelling and to enhance regenerative repair. Simply rotate the ArcEquine around your horse’s legs for the daily three-hour programme period and prevent those annoying ‘niggles’ from becoming ‘injury nightmares’ this season.

International event rider Lucinda Fredericks, pictured competing with Little Brittania, uses ArcEquine and says: "I love ArcEquine; it definitely speeds up recovery times for my horses and can be used to treat many injuries and other health issues."
