Does your horse take its sweet time to relax and get down to business during a training? Are back aches or muscle soreness disrupting your ability to train your horse the way you’d like? Bucas representative Jacob Jansen tells you about the Bucas Recuptex Therapy Rug. This rug is designed to prevent medical issues as well as support treatment of illnesses like chronic arthritis, muscle ache, back problems, kissing spines and other muscle diseases. Read about what makes the rug unique and effective in this blog.
What makes the Bucas Recuptex rug unique?
The Recuptex material on the inside of the rug is made from an extremely fine, stainless steel mesh which reflects the magnetic fields created inside the body. By preserving these magnetic fields blood circulation and oxygen supply are stimulated in the horse’s body and back. When the muscles are warmed up the blood circulation is at its highest and oxygen is more easily absorbed by the muscles. The higher oxygen level of the muscles results in more energy, energy which is needed to use the muscles. If muscles run out of energy before the training ends, muscles generate an unwanted replacement, i.e. lactic acid. An excess of lactic acid after the training ends results in acidification which in turn leads to muscle aches. This is why a proper warmup is so important, as it allows the body to generate sufficient energy and will prevent acidification.
The bottom part of the rug has a Stay-Dry fleece lining which is moisture wicking, this makes this rug suitable to rug your horse with after a workout as well. The rug features the patented, magnetic Snap-lock on the chest and has internal cross surcingles to keep it in place. The rug can be used as stable rug or underblanket. The rug can be used separately as sweat rug or
stable rug, however it can also be combined with other Bucas rugs featuring the Bucas Liner System (i.e. Bucas Irish, Select, Smartex, and Power). The Bucas Recuptex Therapy is available in blue and sizes 165 cm – 215 cm.
Use of the Bucas Recuptex Therapy
The
Bucas Recuptex Therapy is the right choice for horses suffering from chronical arthritis or those with back problems. The rug helps the recovery of muscles in a protected environment.
If you train at a professional level it is best to rug your athlete two hours before you start training. This way the muscles will already be warmed up, which will reduce the chance of injuries during training. Subsequently, rug your horse for the duration of two hours after the training as well.
The use of the rug can be extended even further, should you wish to do so. It can be left on your horse for 24 hours and 7 days a week, however start with a few hours and slowly increase the use of the rug.
