“As athletes, it’s our duty to give them (our horses) every opportunity to feel their best to compete at the highest level. I’ve been using the impulse line technology for quite a while. I’ve incorporated it into my training program.
All of my horses have the blanket on once or twice a day and it has helped them pre-competition and training to warm up their muscles, for the cell movement and blood circulation, to make sure that they feel comfortable before work. We put it on before we tack our horses up and make sure that their backs feel comfortable before we put the saddle on. By the time the horses get to the ring, their muscles are totally prepped. My horses have been warmed up and the massage makes them feel better before and after competition.
It’s lightweight. My groom has no problem bringing it with them for the shows. It runs on a battery, that’s fantastic for FEI because of the regulations, and we can keep charging the battery so that we were able to use it every single day.”

“I think that the horses tell you how much time they need to recover. There are good products help. ACTIVO-MED blankets can speed up the recovery process. You warm them up before a class and cool them down after. It’s a great product. It’s amazing. We can use it in FEI. We can use it all the venues we go to– places like Shanghai and Doha where you can’t bring that much stuff with you.”

“I have been lucky to use the ACTIVO-MED blanket. It is an amazing product. I feel a huge difference when I use it on my horses. You can use it before and afterwork. They use their back much more. It makes the horses jump better. It’s simple to use and it’s very light to take to the show and can be used in the FEI barn.”
