Page 24 May/June 2024 EAST COAST EQUESTRIAN Keep dust out of the arena (and out of your horses’ respira- tory system) with Evermoist EQ Moisturizer from Arena Works. Based out of Lancaster, PA, Arena Works, Inc. is a family-run company that was developed in response to the national demand for reliable footing. No one knows footing better than the horses and riders who use it daily and understand the dangers that develop with the wrong products. Arena Works footing has been formulated, Help Your Horses Breathe with Arena Works Footing designed, and tested by horse- men who know the materials, how they work together, and the best approach to select the perfect product for every need and budget. Arena Works footing holds up to extensive wear and has demonstrated excellent stability, resiliency and shock absorbing qualities. Both students and professionals alike are consis- tently impressed with the quality of the footing, recommending it from one person to another. Arena Works is proud to uphold a standard of referral with a business that has grown by word of mouth, one satisfied customer after another. Engineered to require little maintenance yet ultimate com- fort for the horse, in collected movements like piaffe, passage, and pirouette, dressage horses immediately feel the push back from the footing. Providing exceptional traction and strong shock-absorption, jumpers gain confidence and a sense of secu- rity during takeoff, landing, and through tight turns. Arena Works has a variety of options to work with any budget. Their Gold Plus footing is by far the most popular, but they also work with a multitude of budgets in order to get the client what they need and can afford. The average arena only takes one day to install the new footing, and it’s ready to ride on immediately. For more information visit arenaworksinc.com . Various forms of Red / Infrared light therapy have been used in veterinary medicine for over 50 years. Originally Use Light Therapy for Safe, Effective Pain Relief and Healing performed using lasers and known as Cold Laser Therapy, the benefits include rapid and effective pain relief (back or neck pain, arthritic pain), treat- ment of inflammation, and repair of injuries in legs, joints, and ligaments. It also helps to heal skin lesions and promotes hair regrowth. LED light therapy works by stimulating cellular metabo- lism to promote cell growth and inducing a powerful anti-in- flammatory response. It also stimulates circulation and col- lagen production. Hence it has sometimes been found effective when no other treatment works, for instance in tendinopathy and joint injury. There are no known negative side effects, and the benefits are clinically proven. It is also used for the prevention of injuries, particularly those resulting from overuse and ex- cessive stress – as a condition- ing tool for performance horses and racehorses which prevents injury and aids in their quick recovery. Futurelyte’s light therapy pads for back, neck, leg, and joints contain powerful infra- red LEDS, mostly powered by self-contained batteries, which are applied to the horse for 10 – 15 minutes a day. Unlike companies run by salesmen who do not have a clear idea of how these devices work or how to apply them, Futurelyte’s CEO and founder is a university researcher studying Red/Infrared Light therapy who has devel- oped optimal LEDs and effective treatment protocols that are not generally available. Moreover, as an online company with al- most no sales force, Futurelyte’s products are more competitively priced. In sum, you can expect better products, more reasonable pricing, and better after-sales service and guidelines. Buy or learn more at futurelyte.com or Instagram @ futurelytecom.
