First Aid & Recovery: Care, first aid and rest for your horse

First Aid & Recovery: well cared for every day

Whether it is a small injury, tired legs after training or sensitive airways, in first aid & recovery you will find everything that complements your horse's everyday healthcare. This includes care products and first aid supplies, treatments with warmth, cold and massage, inhalation devices and products for a clean stable. Boots with warming or vibration functions and balance pads are also found here.

Prevention and preparation

Many problems can be spotted early with careful observation. Check legs, skin and eyes while grooming and know your horse's normal values. A well stocked equine first aid kit helps you react correctly to minor injuries. A clean stable, disinfected equipment and low-dust management support your horse's health as well. If there are serious signs, your vet is always the first person to call.

Recovery as part of training

A horse that is trained well also needs good breaks. Recovery starts with walking phases, rest days and free movement and can be supported with therapy rugs, therapy boots and massage. For horses with sensitive airways, regular inhalation is a useful part of their care. With every treatment, stick to the recommended times and keep an eye on your horse.

Frequently asked questions

When do I need to call the vet immediately?
With signs of colic, severe lameness, deep or heavily bleeding wounds, eye injuries, high fever or breathing difficulties. If your horse suddenly stops eating or behaves strangely, calling is also the right thing to do. Better too early than too late.

What is the difference between stable boots and therapy boots?
Stable boots protect and support the legs while your horse is standing in the stable. Therapy boots are designed for short treatments with warmth, cold or vibration and are only worn under supervision.

What are balance pads used for with horses?
Balance pads are soft, yielding mats that the horse steps onto with its hooves. They are used in physiotherapy and training to improve balance and body awareness. It is best to have an equine physiotherapist show you the exercises.
