One of the most effective ways to benefit any horse’s health is with equine light therapy. Equestrian solariums provide healing infrared light that activates your horse’s major bodily functions.

What Are Horse Solariums and What Do They Do?

Just as the sun does, a solarium’s infrared lamps generate and deliver heat and infrared light. However, the light generated by a solarium contains no harmful ultraviolet rays.

Horses exposed to infrared rays experience an increase in their body temperature, which kicks many healing functions into high gear, such as metabolic rate. An increased metabolic rate dilates their capillaries, allowing more blood flow through their body. Ultimately, this results in higher delivery of nutrients and more oxygen to all cells.

When nutrient and oxygen delivery is high, muscle and tissue growth improves throughout your horse’s body.

The Science Behind Solariums

The infrared light spectrum consists of short, medium, and long wavelengths. Equine solariums emit short-wave infrared light. Results from several equine studies indicate that raising the temperature of muscle tissue can have significant health benefits.

For example, a temperature increase of just one or two degrees is sufficient to loosen your horse’s muscles and calm them. Increase temperature nearly three degrees, and this will accelerate their metabolism for a recovery process. For increased extensibility of collagen, increase the temperature of their muscle tissue by three to four degrees.¹

Measurable Horse Solarium Benefits

So we’ve revealed the science behind solariums—but how does this translate to what you’ll see in the ring, pasture, or stable?

Solariums increase white blood cells and amount of vitamin D production, which boosts your horse’s immune system. This is one of light therapy’s major benefits.

Exposing your horse to the solarium’s short-wave infrared light will also help all types of muscles absorb higher volumes of blood sugars, which helps to expel lactic acids. This means your horse will not have sore or stiff muscles following exercise.

Injuries during training exercises or competition cause painful inflammation, which can stress your horse and affect behavior and well-being. Red light reduces inflammation and helps your horse to heal.

Because solariums accelerate your horse’s shedding process, you will also notice a healthier, shiny coat.

The ultimate benefit is a horse that is calm, relaxed, and better able to focus. This means a much higher quality of performance, and a much more enjoyable ride.

Applications of Equine Light Therapy

Equine light therapy can be used prior to warming up or working your horse for increased muscle elasticity and relaxation, as well as after exercise for accelerated muscle recovery.

Professionals and owners alike can integrate light therapy sessions into their training regimen for better focus and performance of equine athletes.

During colder temperatures, a solarium can do double duty as a horse dryer, giving your horse all of the health benefits of infrared light and the warmth and comfort of the heat it generates.
