Equery launches in UAE (United Arab Emirates)

In 2019, my life underwent a huge turnaround that forced me to undergo a career switch. At least not entirely, but still in a different country and a different culture, but with the same supplier: E-Fit (with their new technology in the horse sector). With E-Fit Benelux I have already had a long and honest cooperation. The qualityand servicehave always been top. I was offered a new opportunity afterwards, after which I took the plunge and moved to Dubaiin September 2019. Here I have set up my own company in recent months, representing Equeryas a distributorin the United Arab Emirates. After a lot of networking, we finally started in March 2020 with launchand the demo sessions.

 

We visited renowned stables such as Al Badr Stud (Sarjah), Al Zobair Stud (Sarjah) owned by HE Sheikh Abdullah bin Mohammed Al Thani, W’rsan Stables in Abu Dhabi, Al Hawajer Stud and many more…

 

Equery will bring me a bright future.

The difference between magnetic electro therapy and electrical muscle stimulation

What is the difference between electrical muscle stimulation and magnetic electro therapy?

 The significant difference is that electrical muscle stimulation effectively contracts the muscles at the muscle fiber level. This is something that is scientifically impossible to do with magnetic electro therapy. 

Magnetic electro therapy

Magnetic electro therapy uses a permanent magnet to create a low static magnetic field. It's somewhat comparable to the alternative medicine practice of electro magnetic therapy where one creates a magnetic field generated by an electrical powered device.

The therapy itself does not use impulses to stimulate muscle and it operates at a much lower frequence, which makes it impossible for the magnetic field to contract muscles. In other words, although it can be beneficial for your horse, magnetic electro therapy can only be used to sooth superficial muscles and calm connective tissue.

Electrical muscle stimulation

The EMS technology used in our Equery suit builds new muscles and stimulates existing deep muscle fiber (red or white). Equery developed different programs to, on the on hand build muscle and relax muscle fibers, but also to treat Kissing Spine, lameness and muscle atrophy. Furthermore, the suit enhances blood flow and boosts your horse's metabolism. 

Our EMS technology and the Equery suit are unique in the equine world.

Equery EMS research wins the VAHL 2020 Award!

The research

In 2021, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Ghent University will carry out a research into the impact of EMS technology, 'electro' muscular stimulation, in combination with infrared on the back & hind muscles of sport horses. The Equery R6 device will be used to test whether the EMS technology with infrared can achieve muscle building. The research is a collaboration between Ghent University (Dr. Maarten Oosterlinck, veterinarian Anna Mokry & student Lisa Woord), physiotherapist osteopath Siska Vandendriessche and veterinarian Paul Hanssens.

The examination will be carried out objectively, blindfolded and placebo-controlled on a group of 40 to 50 sport horses, which will be examined weekly during 8 weeks. The treatment lasts approximately one hour, and will be carried out for five consecutive weeks.

Horses wanted!

For the study they are looking for 50 warm-blooded sport horses that are weak or insufficiently muscled (back & hind muscles) for various reasons: a young horse, a horse that had to rehabilitate after recovering from an injury, a horse that is insufficiently trained,... However, horses if lameness is at the basis of poor back musculature then they are not suitable candidates for this study.

New revolutionary EMS research from Equery is looking for 50 horses
A new, revolutionary study investigates the impact of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in combination with infrared on the back & middle gluteal (hindquarters) muscles of warmblood sport horses. The question is: can EMS technology achieve qualitative muscle building or not? For the research, they are looking for 50 warmblood sport horses with insufficient or weak back & middle gluteal (hindquarter) muscles.

VAHL Award for promising research

The research plan has already been rewarded with the VAHL Award 2020 for promising future research in Europe. This organisation ('Veterinary Academy of Higher Learning') is a worldwide training institute dedicated to the continuous education of veterinarians.

Equery: muscle building, training & rehabilitation

Equery was designed to increase the natural muscle mass of horses but also to preserve it during rehabilitation. The Equery equipment can be used as a warm-up or cool-down, to replace a part of your (strenuous) training but also as part of the treatment of certain back problems such as kissing spines.

The Equery R6 device uses EMS, electrical muscular stimulation and infrared technology. The technology delivers electrical stimulation directly to the muscles, causing them to contract and relax, just like during physical activities or training but much deeper, controlled and on the right type of muscle fibres.

Horses wanted

For the study they are looking for 50 warmblood sport horses that are weak or insufficiently muscled (back & hindquarter - middle gluteal muscles) for various reasons: a young horse, a horse that had to rehabilitate after recovering from an injury, a horse that is insufficiently trained,... However, horses where lameness is at the basis of poor back musculature are not suitable candidates for this study.
