Vitafloor Testimonials

“The Vitafloor has become a staple in our program. We use it for a lot of different purposes at our farm, and have seen great results thus far. It has been a huge tool in supplementing the rehabilitation of some of our horses with current or old injuries. We also use it on a daily basis, post-ride, for some of our horses that have chronically sore backs or sore feet. Our horses really enjoy their sessions on the Vitafloor and it has been helping to keep them feeling great in all parts of their body.”

“The Vitafloor has been a huge addition to the therapeutic farriery we do on horses. We have them stand on the Vitafloor before we shoe them, and this not only seems to loosen them up and make it easier for them to stand for shoeing, but it seems to calm their demeanor as well. I use it on my sore back and it makes a huge difference.”

“Our Vitafloor VMC has been a very well worthwhile investment.  We use it weekly for all the performance horses as part of our therapy program to help mitigate joint pain and inflammation.  It is particularly essential for our older sport horses who need the additional joint and topline support.  Additionally, for a few horses with poor hoof quality, it has been tremendously beneficial. “

“The Vitafloor is a great addition for our competition horses. It really helps to keep them in top shape , sound, and healthy!”

“We have been using the Vitafloor in both the transportable version and the full stall version for a few years now. We have these units installed at a couple of my clients farms and they see use daily for a number of reasons, from pre-warming a horse prior to work under saddle, to rehabilitation following a soft tissue injury or maintaining bone and tissue density when on lay-up. In addition we have employed the systems for treating various ailments to the foot and have had occasion to place horses with early signs of colic on the machine with good results. It seems that placing a horse with a mild colic on the system has similar benefits to that old fashioned trailer ride. Overall I have been very pleased with the Vitafloor products and find many uses for the technology when it is available. The horses seem to like it as well.”

“I have consistently had good therapeutic results with 5 different roping horses with different injuries. The injuries included mild to moderate navicular disease, moderate torn medial ligaments, and sore and stiff stifle joints. My experience with the Vitafloor vibrating floor system has been over the last two years had I have had great recovery and post therapy results to have been able to keep my horses competing and sound using this non‐invasive therapy, which they also seemed to enjoy. I highly and unequivocally recommend this therapeutic option to all horsemen with the health of their horses as one of their highest priorities.”

“A HUGE thank you again to Nicky Oostveen for her dedication in our horse, Fresca’s rehab. Fresca was loved and exceptionally well cared during her rehabilitation at Dutch Dreamhorses, Inc. Fresca arrived to their facility a month and a half into a tendon tear injury. We had been caring for her (complete stall rest, bute, ice, standing wraps) but she wasn’t healing and her pain and swelling were NOT improving. We felt we needed to do something for her to help her progress from injury into the healing phase. After just a few short weeks at Dutch Dreamhorses, Inc. Fresca’s swelling was gone and her pain had improved significantly. After just 4 months, she was clinically sound during her vet check and the ultra sound showed that the tendon was almost completely healed.Fresca was put on their Vitafloor 2x a day. Initially she was hand walked 2x a day and then, with the vet’s approval, she was able to spend the rest of her time there on the walker which helped keep her sane during her rehab as well as a little toned. Fresca is home now and we will continue her rehab here. We cannot stress enough how happy we were with her rehabilitation at Dutch Dreamhorses, Inc. They take such good care of the horses that we actually got pretty lazy about checking in on her weekly. She was part of their family.If you have a horse that needs rehabilitation, we highly recommend them, they are wonderful people and we can vouch that they are completely committed to doing whatever they can to heal their patients. Thank you Nicky! We really appreciate what you have done for Fresca!”

“I had the privilege of using a Vitafloor while stabled in Belgium in preparation for the 2014 World Equestrian Games. I was hesitant about my horse being nervous but he very quickly accepted the sessions and was soon leading himself onto the floor! Vitafloor helps keep my horses comfortable in ways that I can’t. The vibration penetrates much deeper than any icing technology or massage and treats the whole body in every session. In addition to the physical benefits, the horses love it!”

“The Vitafloor has become a very functional part of keeping our horses healthy and happy. It loosens up the older horses that are body sore and arthritic and maintains muscle tone on injured ones that cannot exercise. On the way in they walk sore and on the way out their swing and elasticity is back. Vitafloor gives the horses with laminitis pain relieve and it helps build stronger hoof wall. We diverted serious colic cases including two foals with meconium impactions. Vitality is up on the elderly and it has helped young riding horses with sore backs. It’s very helpful with breeding; I put the older stallions on prior to collecting because it speeds things up. It also helps maintain the semen volume and density during the more frequent collection times on the older stallions, some in their mid-twenties. Those that were slightly down in semen quantity and quality last year are back up and a year older. The Vitafloor is a safe, cost effective, non-invasive way to help prevent problems and improve the horses well-being.”

“The Vitafloor® is a fantastic tool for helping to bring horses back to fitness quickly and safely after injury – in fact the speed of recovery has surprised us. We now put all our horses on the Vitafloor to help maintain fitness and to reduce the incidence of injury in the first place – it is now an integral part of our daily regime at Robins Farm Racing. Apart from the fact that it virtually runs itself, freeing our staff to do other work, we’ve found that having the Vitafloor has helped us keep recovering horses on box rest onsite… we need that second unit!!”

“We have used Vitafloor for two years now and we have seen the great effect that the products have on our horses. The horses feel great. They are relaxed, happy, fit and moving better than ever. We are very grateful to Vitafloor for their help and the use of their fantastic therapies. They are simple to use and the horses love it.”

“Since I have begun warming my horses up with the Vitafloor vibrating floor system, I feel a little like I am cheating. My horses start out warmed up and energetic. They begin in a soft elastic frame and with continued gymnastic exercises, I finish with a very supple, elastic horse that seems to find collection much easier. The quality of the work, which is achieved in a shorter period of time, is much greater. The quality of the collection, the piaffe, passage and the pirouettes are much better and the horses are more comfortable when collected. I am even finding that straightness is easier and horses that were mouthy are quieter and more comfortable in the bridle. In short, all aspects of the riding and training of the horses have improved in a very short period of time.”

“We use Vitafloor every day and it helps our horses to recover after tough training”

“Peas and Carrots became race horse of the year twice in Sweden with help from our Vitafloor!”

“We use the Vitafloor on all our trotters and it makes them stronger and smoother.”

“Our family owned racehorse Mikado has shown great improvement with Vitafloor.”

“With the Vitafloor I continue to see the benefits, with faster and healthier hoof growth. I recommend it to all my clients.”

“My 15 year old Dutch gelding is competing successfully at GP, and I attribute his health and soundness in large measure to the daily use of the Vitafloor. Even though he is ‘older’ and competing at the top levels of dressage, he continues not to need any orthopedic shoeing or any kind of maintenance, injections or medicine.”

“Since using the Vitafloor my horses feel warmed up & loose in their muscles as soon as I get on now. At shows not only are they looser but also calmer overall. Based on my own personal experience I believe Vitafloor to be the best product available.”

“The Vitafloor® is very user‐friendly and practical in design. Since using it, my horses are fitter and more relaxed with improved musculature. It also helps prevent tying up.”

“One of the horses, that I worked with on the Vitafloor, was an elderly, severely arthritic mare. For a long time, a session on the Vitafloor would make a noticeable difference in how well she moved and made it possible for her to keep going for as long as she did.”
