the heat from our thermal blanket not only penetrates directly into the deeper muscle layers, but can also be used anywhere? Unlike a fixed solarium, which only radiates the surface and is tied to one location, the therapy blanket distributes heat evenly over the horse's entire back and acts exactly where it is needed. A solarium works with infrared radiation that hits the horse from a certain distance. Due to the fur, skin thickness, and uneven radiation, the heat usually only reaches the upper skin layers before being released back into the air. The thermal blanket, on the other hand, is in direct contact with the horse's body – the heat is transferred by conduction without being weakened by air or fur first. This promotes blood circulation, supports the removal of metabolic waste products, and effectively relieves tension. In this way, the horse not only receives the benefits of professional heat therapy but also the flexibility to use it anytime and anywhere.

What is the difference compared to a horse solarium?

A solarium works with infrared radiation that hits the horse's body from above and primarily warms the surface of the skin. The effect remains predominantly superficial, as radiant heat can only penetrate deeper tissue layers to a limited extent and is also partially reflected or weakened by the coat, skin density, and ambient air. In contrast, our heating blanket relies on direct contact heat: the heating coils lie close to the body and transfer the heat directly into the tissue without detours. As a result, the heat is distributed evenly over the entire back and can penetrate the musculature much more effectively. Studies show that contact heat can be two to three times more effective than superficial infrared radiation in terms of warming deep muscle layers. In addition, there is the practical advantage: while a solarium is permanently installed and tied to a power connection, the heating blanket can be used mobile, flexibly, and in almost any location thanks to its battery – whether in the stable, during transport, or while warming up before training.

Can the heating blanket be used on a wet horse?

Yes. The heating coils are provided with a special coating and are therefore insensitive to water. Wetness and moisture therefore pose no risk. Nevertheless, we recommend covering the horse only when it is slightly damp or dried off whenever possible, as the heat works more efficiently with a dry coat and can penetrate deeper into the muscles.

Can the heating blanket be used during transport?

Yes, the therapy blanket is portable and is excellent for transport. It ensures that the muscles do not cool down and that the horse remains relaxed.

How long does it take to charge the battery?

The charging time is approximately 6 hours. This deliberate "slow charging" is for safety and extends the lifespan of the battery.

Can the battery be left in the heating blanket while charging?

Yes, the battery can either be charged while in the heating blanket via the hidden cable or removed and charged separately.

Is a replacement battery available?

Yes, an additional battery is also available separately – ideal if you want to use multiple batteries in rotation.

Can the heating blanket be used over another horse rug?

Yes, the heating blanket can be worn over a light rug if additional protection against wet or dirt is required. It is important that the bottom rug is breathable so that no heat buildup occurs.

Can the heating blanket be washed?

No. The therapy blanket is not suitable for machine washing, as the battery connections and heating coils are not designed for a wash cycle. For cleaning, a damp cloth or a soft brush is sufficient to remove hair, dust, or light dirt.

Why is the heating blanket insulated and what are thermal bridges anyway?

Thermal bridges occur wherever insulation is interrupted or the material has been processed to be thinner. At these points, stored heat escapes faster, and cold can even penetrate from the outside. In the case of a heating blanket, this would lead to an uneven heating effect, and certain areas would not be optimally treated. Our heating blanket is therefore fully insulated in the back area so that no thermal bridges are formed. The heat remains evenly in the tissue and can act constantly over the entire back – exactly where it is needed.
