All the benefits for you and your horse

Advantages for your horse


Training of the micromuscles

 Vibration stimulation activates 95-97% of all muscles fibres.

Faster healing

Healing of tendon injuries are faster and activates the deeper muscles in the horse

Bone density increase

Increase bone density up to 20% for stronger horses 

Advantages to you


Long service life 

100% Made in Germany 

Option to rent

Planned costs, no maintenance costs

Increase business value

License the use of your horsebration for income.

Research supports the following benefits:

Improved bone density in legs and ribs (up to 20%, similar to humans)

• Reduction of scoliosis-like spinal asymmetry and improved load-bearing capacity of vertebral segments

Stimulation of blood circulation throughout the entire body (confirmed via thermographic imaging)

• Support in preventing and treating colic, even in stall-rested horses

• Aid in treatment of soft tissue injuries, joint pain, laminitis, and navicular syndrome

Accelerated hoof growth due to increased blood flow

Reduction of cortisol levels, resulting in lower stress and relaxation

Muscle activation and fat metabolism, particularly beneficial for overweight or low-activity horses

Significant strengthening of the core and deep back muscles – visible results have been documented after just 10 days at 10 minutes daily

• Improved gait elasticity, stride length, and acceleration from standstill

• Supports healing and prevention of tendon injuries

Most horses enjoy vibration training and relax visibly during use.

Only Sascotec uses two counter-rotating motors working simultaneously.

This creates a gentle vertical movement similar to natural locomotion, while eliminating side-sway vibration.

Most competing devices use a single motor, which produces horizontal shaking and is less beneficial for joint-safe muscle activation.

Compared to the extensive research on vibration therapy for humans, scientific data for horses is still developing. However, several independent veterinary studies (notably from the University of California Davis School of Veterinary Medicine and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Uppsala, Sweden) provide reliable insights.

The key point:

  • Vibration training offers many positive effects, but if used incorrectly, it can also have negative consequences.
  • Users without prior knowledge of equine physiology should familiarize themselves with the basics before use.
  • Vibration training should not be used on:
  • • Pregnant mares
  • • Young horses under 4 years of age

Yes, we offer planning and installation service of the horsebration from Sascotec in the UK.

Approx. £10,000 (depending on configuration and region).

Sascotec recommends one service per year or every 1000 operating hours, whichever comes first.

Adjustable range: 5 to 50 Hz, set via rotary control knob

General effects by frequency:

Frequency Range

Effect

Low (5–15 Hz)

Improves balance and deep muscle relaxation

Medium (15–30 Hz)

Improves coordination and releases tension

High (30–50 Hz)

Stimulates muscle contraction, increases strength and power

General recommendation: Start around 20 Hz and observe the horse.

Increase gradually based on comfort and relaxation.

If the horse shows tension or stress: reduce intensity or shorten the session.

Typical session: 10–20 minutes, 1–2 times daily

• For relaxation and low-frequency regeneration: up to 30 minutes

• Always observe the horse and consult a veterinarian if injuries are present
