Why not try the Hotspot on yourself too?

With the choice of heat and two types of massage, the Hotspot can be used in various ways

• Use cyclical massage when you are holding the Hotspot still to target a specific area or trigger point.
• Use continuous massage when moving the Hotspot in a sweeping action over larger areas, allowing it to deliver the same message to the muscles.
• Use heat to help increase circulation. Normally used for sensitive horses or on muscles prior to stretching.
• Use both heat and massage together for the ultimate combination. This is best used in one area or over a small area.

Choosing your massage settings
To choose your desired setting press the cyclical or continuous massage button once to select the lowest intensity. Pushing the same button again will up the intensity to the medium level and finally, pushing it for a third time will turn it to the highest setting. Pushing the same button for the fourth time will turn the Hotspot off. For the heat option, simply push the relevant button once for on, and again for off.

Use LOW for a relaxing massage best suited for use after exercise, on a day off, for a sensitive horse or when using the Hotspot for the first time.

Use MEDIUM for general maintenance and everyday use, best suited prior to exercise.
Use HIGH for those horses who like a more intense massage, if your horse has a thick coat or is slightly overweight.

Battery Life
The battery can take up to 12 hours for a full charge, and once charged will power at least 10 x 10-minute sessions with heat and massage on the high setting.
Heat does draw more from the battery than massage will. When the battery gets to the stage where it no longer has enough power to run the heat function, the lights on the control panel will flash and turn off. You will still be able to run the massage functions for a while after this happens however, to use heat again please fully recharge your battery.
