Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about using an equine massage gun safely and effectively.

How long should I use a massage gun on my horse?
A simple routine is 5–10 minutes per area, keeping the massage gun moving the entire time. Many owners do 10–20 minutes total depending on workload and sensitivity. If you’re new, start with 2–5 minutes and build up over a few sessions.
Where should I use a horse massage gun for best results?
For most horses, the best areas are the neck, shoulder, glutes, hamstrings, and large thigh muscles. Move slowly along the muscle and keep a steady pace. For beginners, start with the shoulder and neck (safe, easy areas) and keep sessions short until your horse gets used to the sensation.
What does an equine massage gun actually do?
An equine massage gun (percussion massager) supports muscle relaxation and post-ride comfort by delivering rhythmic pressure over the muscles. Many riders use a horse massage gun after training or long trail rides to help the horse feel looser and more comfortable. It’s a wellness/recovery tool—results vary by horse and routine.
Is a horse massage gun safe to use on horses?
A horse massage gun can be safe when used correctly on large muscle groups. Start on the lowest setting, keep it moving, and watch your horse’s body language. Avoid bony areas, joints, and sensitive zones. If your horse tenses, steps away, pins ears, or looks uncomfortable, stop and reduce intensity. For pain, swelling, or lameness, contact a veterinarian.
