I've currently got an equilibrium massage pad but considering upgrading - I'd love a cyclossage but don't know if I can afford one. I've searched on eBay etc but not many seem to ever cone up - is that generally the case. Also considering horze vibe from Horseware, or possibly equissage or activo med? Any recommendations?!
 
Can't help with the recommendations. However, I have been looking into getting a massage pad for my horses. Is there a reason you are upgrading from an equilibrium? They seem to be a fair price but do you find they make a difference?
 
I have both the pad and a Cyclossage and rate both. The Cyclossage obviously covers a larger area of the hirse but I really like the neck attachment as my horse gets a lot of tension in his poll due to SI issues therefore this really relaxes him. Have no idea on the horseware one I did have a look at this recently too but I already have the cyclossage.

One thing I will say; the Cyclossage is very heavy and bulky to carry around; it also only suits horses. I have mine on a 15.2hh TB and it doesn't fit "quite" right, I have to hold the flanks in place.

Thanks - my boy is only 15h so I think I'd have the same issue as you with a cyclossage so it rules that out. Maybe need to do more digging on the Horseware one then!
 
Llee94 I like the massage pad and definitely think it makes a difference, therefore my logic said surely something similar to cover a bigger area would be better.
 
I had an equilibrium but when it died after Charlie Horse got loose and stomped it into the ground along with the rest of his grooming parlour I decided to upgrade. I thought if the Equilibrium was good then a bigger and more powerful massager would be better.

I was wrong, and some the Equissage to go back to an equilibrium.

I have not tried the Horseware one though.
