The Ultimate Quick-Start Guide to PEMF: Innovative Equine Therapy
Is your horse still a bit sluggish when recovering, or just missing that extra edge in their performance?
Don’t let your horse lose the spark that makes them who they are.
There’s a natural wellness solution that’s been here all along – waiting to transform how your horse moves, feels, and performs…
PEMF therapy!
PEMF is more than a buzzword in the equine world – it’s a science-backed, non-invasive approach trusted by top riders and trainers to help horses recover faster, move freer, and feel their best.
In this guide, we’ll reveal how PEMF works, why it’s gaining attention, and how you can use it to bring relief and vitality back to your horse’s life.
Because your horse deserves the ability to move, feel, and perform at their best.
The solution is here in front of you – let’s take the first step together!
PEMF Therapy for Horses Made Simple
You work hard to ensure your horse gets high-quality hay and grain, regular hoof care, turnout time in a safe pasture, and tailored exercise routines to match their energy and age.
But between demanding schedules, unexpected life events, and the constant pressures of daily life, it can be challenging to consistently provide the level of care you envision for your horse.
Even with your best efforts, your horse might still face setbacks: lingering stiffness, low energy, or slow recovery from minor injuries.
This can leave you feeling frustrated and concerned. Are you doing enough? Are you providing the best possible support for your horse’s health and happiness?
The bottom line is – you don’t want to fail your horse.
This is where Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy can make a real difference.
Horses, much like humans, can struggle with subtle health issues that are hard to spot early on. PEMF therapy uses soothing electromagnetic pulses to stimulate and recharge your horse’s cells, promoting their natural ability to heal and recover. It’s like providing a boost to their internal “battery,” giving their body the energy it needs to function at its best.

What’s your horse struggling with?
How To Get Started With PEMF Therapy For Horses
Introducing PEMF to your horse should be a gradual and positive experience, and there’s no better way than with the Pulse PEMF Animal Loops.
Pulse PEMF Animal Loops – designed for easy, comfortable use – are a focus PEMF accessory that attaches to your PEMF machine. Positioning the Loops on certain areas of your horse’s body allows for targeted, effective, and precise delivery of PEMF.
Steps To Introduce PEMF To Your Horse
Here’s how to introduce the PEMF Loops and a PEMF machine to your horse:
Create a Calm Environment:
Horses are highly sensitive to their surroundings and your energy. Maintain a calm and reassuring presence. If your horse tends to get anxious around certain people (like the trainer), it might be helpful for them to step out of the area during the initial introduction.
Familiarize Your Horse with the Loops:
Gently rub the Pulse PEMF Animal Loops on your horse’s body, allowing them to investigate the sensation. Place the Loops on their back with the machine turned off to get them accustomed to the feel.
Introduce the Sound of the Machine:
Turn on the PEMF machine without touching the Loops to your horse. This helps them become familiar with the sound and minimizes any startle response.
Gradual Introduction:
Turn on the PEMF machine, place the PEMF Loops on your horse, and start with a very low-intensity setting. Gradually increase the intensity as your horse becomes comfortable. Observe their reactions closely and adjust accordingly.
The Pulse PEMF Animal Loops Explained
Pulse PEMF Animal Loops come in multiple sizes to best fit your horse. Here’s how to choose the right one for your horse:
- Large, XL, and XXL Loops:
Large, XL, and XXL Loops: These Loops are ideal for encompassing the larger areas of the horse’s body. This means they may be most beneficial for larger and deeply connected muscle groups including the neck, back, and hindquarters. XL and XXL are most suitable for large breeds, such as Draft horses. - Medium and Small Loops:
These Loops are most beneficial for targeting smaller or specific areas of the body such as the legs, head, and face. - A Note About The Small Loops:
Be mindful that Small Loops are the most intense Loops, so use them with caution around the face and opt for Medium Loops instead.
Creating Your PEMF Session Plan
The duration and intensity of PEMF sessions will vary depending on your horse’s needs. Generally, because horses are such large animals, one hour per session is a good duration to start with to ensure the PEMF is truly comprehensive and effective. However, the more severe your horse’s issue is, the more frequent and intense your sessions should be.
Here are a few recommendations:
| Types of Issues | Examples of Issues | Session Duration | Frequency |
| Severe | Surgery Recovery Chronic Diseases | 1+ hours | Daily |
| Minor | Muscle Stiffness General Wellness | 1 hour | 1-2 times/week |
| Maintenance | “Pasture Ornament” Horses | 30 minutes - 1 hour | 1-2 times/month |
Safety Precautions and Contraindications
While PEMF therapy for horses is generally safe, there are specific situations where caretakers should avoid using it:
- Pregnancy
Because of limited research, avoid using PEMF on pregnant mares. - Colic
Do not use PEMF therapy during an active colic episode, as it may worsen the condition if not properly evaluated properly. Always consult with your veterinarian if you have questions about appropriate uses of PEMF for horses with colic. - Active Bleeding
Do not use PEMF when your horse is actively bleeding, such as during epistaxis (bleeding from the nose) or bleeding from post-operational recovery. - Unevaluated Injuries
Always consult with your veterinarian before using PEMF on any new injuries, no matter how minor the injury might seem.
Monitoring Your Horse's Response
Pay close attention to your horse’s behavior during and after PEMF sessions. Here’s what you should be looking for:
- Signs of Relaxation
Look for deep sighs, licking or chewing, and a relaxed demeanor. - Light Muscle Contractions
Some light muscle contractions are normal. Avoid excessive pulsing, as this can be uncomfortable for your horse. - Agitation or Discomfort
If your horse becomes agitated or uncomfortable during a session, stop the session and reassess the intensity or placement of the loops. - Overall Behavior
Always pay attention to your horse’s overall behavior after the session. Do they seem relaxed, uncomfortable, or stressed?
Remember, horses are incredibly sensitive creatures. They can pick up on your own anxieties and emotions. If you’re feeling a bit unsure about introducing PEMF, or if your horse seems hesitant, don’t hesitate to consult with a certified PEMF professional.
Equipment Maintenance and Care
Proper care and maintenance of your Pulse PEMF Animal Loops will ensure their longevity and effectiveness:
- Storage
Store the Loops loosely coiled in a duffle bag or a designated storage area. - Temperature
Avoid exposing the Loops to extreme temperatures (e.g., leaving them in a hot or cold car). - Handling
Avoid bending or kinking the Loops sharply against their natural curve. - Cleaning
Clean the Animal Loops with Clorox, Lysol, or Seventh Generation wipes, then wipe down with a clean water-soaked towel. Always wipe down after use. Avoid contact with any type of salves, oils, sprays, or topicals as exposure could cause damage.
