Monarch Stocks & Solarium

Not just a relaxing treat for your horse, the dedicated solarium at Howe Brook provides effective post-exercise therapy, removing lactic acid to aid recovery.

Specially integrated into our Monarch Handling Stocks, the infra-red therapy lamps are also useful before exercise to properly warm up the muscles, reducing injury risk.

Our livery horses especially benefit from solarium sessions during winter when they spend more time in the stable, giving them the light they need to stay fit, healthy and energised. After exercising outdoors in damp, wet conditions, we find the horses love drying off in the stocks under the warmth of the solarium.

Solariums are not only for competition horses. Book a 20-minute solarium session for your horse to ensure they get the infra-red boost they need.

Benefits of a Solarium Session:

Vitamin D production for healthy bone formation

 Strengthened immune system

 Relief from back tension

 Healthy blood and oxygen supply

 Faster muscle recovery

 Conditioned, shiny coat

 The use of a solarium is highly recommended for old or retired horses to help prevent muscle and joint stiffness, keeping them happy and comfortable. Just one weekly session offers a whole host of benefits for horses of all types and ages.
