A new horse Solarium has being installed this week, it
has kindly being
supplied and installed by owner Mike Golding. The
solarium will provide short wavelength infra red heat,
this will improve circulation, digestion, and the
production of red blood cells, this produces a sense of
well-being. The heat is
absorbed into muscles, and will stimulate and facilitate
the repair of damaged tissue. Horses warmed up before
exercise are less likely to suffer from strains and
muscle damage. Stamina will be increased as well as
stride length, and the energy is available quickly and
without as much risk of the horse hurting itself. |
