How long is a session and how often should I use it?

A session is 15 minutes, and the built-in timer switches the light off on its own. With the Poll & Neck Hood you can run up to 20 minutes if he needs it. For an active issue, most owners use it once a day until he moves comfortably, then three to four times a week to keep it that way. On rest days it works as daily care.

Should I use it before or after riding?

Both. Before riding it helps the hoof, leg, hock or poll feel warm and loose when you start work. After riding, a long trailer day or a hard schooling session it helps the tissue settle and recover. Most riders run it while grooming, so it adds no time to the routine.

How quickly will I notice a difference?

Many owners notice their horse standing more comfortably, stepping out more evenly or lowering his head within the first few sessions. Chronic issues such as arthritis, laminitis or a neck that has been tight for months need two to three weeks of consistent use before the change shows up in his stride.

Does the Hoof Wrap work with shoes?

Yes. The wrap sits around the hoof wall and the coronet band, above the shoe. Shod or barefoot, the fit is the same.

Can I treat both legs, or several areas at once?

One device treats one area. For both fronts, both hinds or all four, the 2-pack and 4-pack give you one device per leg and let you run them at the same time. The products also combine well in one session, for example the Hood with two Hock Wraps, or Tendon Boots with Hoof Wraps.

Hoof Wrap: 1 wrap, USB-C charging cable, quick-start guide. Tendon Boot: 1 boot, USB-C charging cable. Hock Wrap: 1 wrap, USB-C charging cable. Poll & Neck Hood: 1 hood, USB charging cable.

What if it does not work for my horse?

Use it for 30 days. If your horse is not moving more comfortably, send it back for a full refund. Contact our support team and we will send you the return instructions.

How fast will it ship?

Shipping is free on every order. Orders ship within 1 business day, Monday to Friday, and typically arrive within 4 to 6 business days depending on your location.

RedHoof™ in Action

THE CHIRO COMES ONCE A MONTH. THE KNOTS ARE BACK BY THE NEXT RIDE.

A good chiro or massage visit makes a real difference. Then comes the next hard ride, the next cold night, the next long day in the trailer, and he comes out stiff again long before the next appointment. RedHoof is what you do in between: a short, hands-on routine in the cross-ties that keeps him comfortable from one visit to the next. It doesn't replace your vet, your chiro or your massage therapist. It covers the weeks they aren't there.

THE 10-MINUTE MASSAGE FOR TIGHT SHOULDERS, BACK AND HINDQUARTERS.

Tight through the shoulders after a jump school. A hard, braced back. Hindquarters that won't swing. Muscle tension builds week after week, and most massage guns were built for people: loud motors, hard vibration, one small head.

The RedHoof 8-Head Massage Gun was built for horses. Eight percussion heads work a whole muscle group in the time a single head covers one spot, and 660 nm red and 850 nm near-infrared light works on the muscle while you massage. Quiet enough for nervous horses, cordless, with adjustable intensity. Ten to fifteen minutes in the cross-ties, before you tack up or after you untack.

Built for the big muscle groups: shoulders, back, hindquarters and gluteals, tight after training, shows and long trailer days, and for older horses that take longer to loosen up.

WHAT IT DOES

Loosens tight, sore muscles in shoulders, back and hindquarters
Red and near-infrared light supports blood flow while you massage
Eight heads work a whole muscle group at once, about three times faster than a single head
Quiet motor, most horses lean into it within minutes
Drug-free, hands-on care before the ride and after work

HOW TO USE

1. Pick the muscle group. Shoulders, back, hindquarters, gluteals. Stay off joints, bone and the spine itself.

2. Switch on and choose the level. Start on level 1 with a nervous or older horse. Go up one level only when he leans into it. The red light comes on with the motor.

3. Work slowly. Circles or long strokes, 2 to 5 minutes per muscle group, 10 to 15 minutes for a full session. He will lean into it when you hit the right spot.

Why
Riders From Amateur
to Pro Choose RedHoof™

From weekend trail riders to grand prix jumpers, riders reach for RedHoof™ for one simple reason: it helps their horse's legs feel looser, more comfortable and ready to work.

Every stride starts from the ground up. The hooves take the impact, the tendons carry the load, the hocks push the horse forward. RedHoof™ was built for exactly these three places: the Hoof Wrap, the Tendon Boot and the Hock Wrap.

660 nm red and 850 nm near-infrared light gently support the surrounding muscles and soft tissue. Fifteen cordless minutes. No drugs, no clinic visit, no complicated routine.

Use it regularly, and your horse can move more freely and feel better through every transition, every stride and every trail ride.

Answers to Your RedHoof™ Questions

Every RedHoof product uses two wavelengths. 660 nm red light works close to the surface and supports circulation in the skin and coat. 850 nm near-infrared reaches deeper into the tissue toward tendons, joints and the hoof. The light comes from LEDs, not a laser: non-thermal, silent and drug-free, so the session runs while your horse stands in the stall or the cross-ties.

Hoof Wrap: sore hooves, laminitis, abscesses, navicular, bruised soles. It follows the hoof wall and the coronet band. Tendon Boot: strained tendons and ligaments, filled legs after work, horses coming back from time off. Hock Wrap: stiff hocks, arthritis, swelling after work, senior horses. Poll & Neck Hood: a tight poll, stiff neck, jaw and TMJ, head tossing and bridle resistance. Many owners combine them, for example the Hood with a pair of Hock Wraps for a horse that carries tension front to back.

Yes. The light is drug-free and non-invasive, which makes it a fit for seniors, horses managing arthritis and horses in rehab. It works alongside whatever your vet and farrier already have planned, not instead of it. Keep it off open wounds, keep the Hood's light away from the eyes, and ask your vet before using it on a fresh injury.

Every RedHoof product has adjustable hook-and-loop straps and fits most horse sizes. Hoof Wrap: about 19 in (482 mm) long, LED panel 3.7 in (95 mm) wide, measure around the hoof wall. Tendon Boot: about 12.6 x 8.7 in (320 x 220 mm), one boot fits left or right, measure around the cannon bone. Hock Wrap: about 14.6 x 12.2 in (370 x 310 mm), measure around the hock at its widest point. Poll & Neck Hood: the straps adjust to a range of neck sizes, the ears go through openings. For a pony or a very large horse, measure first and compare.

Most horses relax into it within minutes, because there is no heat, no noise and no vibration. Introduce it like any new piece of tack: let him see it, start on the lowest intensity with a shorter session and leave the straps a little loose the first few times. With the Poll & Neck Hood, rest it on the neck first, then slide the ears through. A hay net helps.

Every product is cordless and rechargeable over USB, so nothing is plugged in during the session. The Poll & Neck Hood runs about one hour per charge, enough for three to four sessions, and recharges in about an hour. The wraps and the boot charge over USB-C. The timer switches every session off on its own, so the battery is not drained by accident.
