As title really.

Do you have one? Do you want one? What do you think of it?

My Instructor and Chiropractor both have an Equissage and they love it. When they come over they will put the Equissage on my boy for 20mins and he benifits from it so much. I would love to buy one but they are very expensive.

Would just like to see other peoples views on the Equissage?

Thanks in Advance x
 
I actually used to sell these, I was the sales rep for Scotland many moons ago and I must say I LOVE them. They really do work wonders and I've seen many many great stories relating to it. I used to use it on my horses too and the biggest difference was in my boy's feet. He had terrible flat TB feet but with using the equissage they gained in strength amazingly.

HOWEVER, I think its overpriced. Even when I was selling it I did and I think its a LOT more expensive now. But here's a cheeky little tip. The technology that is used is the same as Niagara's (the manufacturer) equipment made for humans. You can quite often get the human hand units on eBay for a fraction of the price of the equine unit and they are exactly the same. I think the only difference is the equine unit has a battery and I think the human one goes into the mains. So its worth having a trawl for the hand unit and then maybe see if you can get the back pad cheaper off eBay.

Just a bit of interesting trivia as well, obviously these were first designed for humans who feel a dramatic effect with them but for some reason horses seem to respond up to 10x better than people to them, they 'think' it has something to do with the way the lymphatic system works in horses.

Sorry, that was longer than expected but I hope helpful. If you've got any other questions feel free to ask or PM me. Can probably remember most of the technical stuff from when I was doing it.
 
I have an equissage and i have to admit it is brilliant. Both my boys love it. One of them is particularly grumpy and he chills out totally when he has it on.
It really relaxes them and loosens them up.
They are expensive but i think they definitely do the job.
My OH partially severed a finger last year and when he was in the rehab place they gave him a mini massager. He took the equissage hand unit to show them and they said he should use that as it would be far more beneficial.
He is still using it twice a day and he really notices the difference if he goes a day without using it. His finger ceases up completely
 
Thanks Stilton.

I want a Equissage even more now :p That's amazing about your OH finger!!! My boy tends to get a stiff back easily and when he has the Equissage on him he is so much more free after. Its amazing how 20mins makes a complete different.,

If you don't mind me asking did you buy your Equissage from the Equissage company or off EBAY of somewhere else??
