They have been invaluable members of team Rookery over the past year, demonstrating exceptional work ethic and a positive attitude.

Electric muscle stimulators (EMS) can offer several benefits for horses on box rest, helping to maintain their muscle tone and overall well-being. Here are some key benefits:

💪Muscle Maintenance - EMS can help prevent muscle atrophy by stimulating muscle contractions, which is especially important for horses that are unable to exercise due to injury or recovery.

🌀Improved Circulation - The stimulation can enhance blood flow to the muscles, aiding in nutrient delivery and waste removal, which can support healing and recovery.

⛔️Reduced Muscle Soreness - EMS can help alleviate stiffness and soreness in muscles, making the horse more comfortable during its rest period.

🥲Pain Relief - The electrical stimulation may have analgesic effects, helping to reduce pain and discomfort associated with injuries or immobility.

🎯 - Flexibility and Range of Motion : Regular use of EMS can assist in maintaining flexibility and range of motion in joints and muscles, which is crucial for rehabilitation.

🧠 Psychological Benefits - Engaging the muscles through stimulation can provide mental stimulation for the horse, keeping them more engaged and reducing boredom during prolonged box rest.

🐎Faster Recovery - By promoting muscle health and circulation, EMS may contribute to a quicker overall recovery process when the horse is ready to return to work.
