Magnetic Field Therapy for Horses: Boost Recovery, Comfort, and Performance
Magnetic field therapy – also known as PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) – is gaining popularity in the world of (sport) horses. Designed to stimulate blood flow and support cellular activity, this innovative therapy helps horses recover faster, stay supple, and feel more comfortable after training or competition.
In this blog, we explain what magnetic field therapy is, when it can benefit your horse, and how to use it safely. Plus, we’ll show how Classic Equine’s MagNTX line makes it easy to integrate into your horse’s routine.
What Is Magnetic Field Therapy?
Magnetic field therapy works by applying therapeutic magnets to create a magnetic field around a specific area of the horse’s body. This field works at a cellular level, improving local circulation, helping remove waste products, and delivering oxygen and nutrients more efficiently.
Think of it as a supportive tool for training, recovery, and maintenance – not a replacement for veterinary care.
When Should You Use It?
Magnetic field therapy is particularly useful for:
- Sport horses that train hard or compete regularly
- Horses prone to stiffness or muscle soreness after exercise
- Recovery periods after minor injuries (always in consultation with your vet)
- Horses showing early signs of joint discomfort, such as in the hock or knee
- Nervous or tense horses, for example during transport or competitions
Important: Always consult a veterinarian for serious injuries, lameness, or inflammation.
