How Does Ceramic Therapy Work?
Ceramic therapy works by using your horse’s own body heat. The special ceramic fabric absorbs warmth and reflects it back as gentle far-infrared energy.
This natural process helps increase circulation, ease stiffness, and support muscle recovery. Horses feel more comfortable, whether it’s after a tough workout, during downtime in the stall, or just keeping older joints moving more freely. It’s simple, effective, and trusted by riders across disciplines.

What Causes Recovery Challenges in Horses?
Ceramic therapy is built to support circulation and recovery. Equine clinicians explain that strenuous exercise, repetitive jumping, or long training sessions can lead to inflammation and muscle fatigue. These stresses limit mobility and slow down recovery.
Corro Team Rider Hunter Holloway (Show Jumper) knows the toll repeated landings take on her horses’ joints and muscles.
Josh Tishman (Reining) adds that spins and stops put heavy strain on legs. Their insights shape Corro’s expertise in choosing therapy gear that helps horses bounce back and stay at their best.
How Ceramic Therapy Can Help
A study published in the Open Journal of Veterinary Medicine (2024) looked at far-infrared (FIR) treatment in horses and found improvements in muscle balance and force symmetry after just 30 minutes of therapy. The researchers noted that FIR helped support circulation and post-exercise recovery.
Another study from 2023 tested ceramic-infused boots on sport horses and confirmed that the ceramic fibers reflected heat back as far-infrared rays, helping increase local circulation and support recovery. This reflection of natural body heat is what makes ceramic therapy useful for easing stiffness, encouraging blood flow, and helping horses relax.
Choosing The Right Ceramic Therapy
Picking the right ceramic therapy gear depends on your horse’s age, workload, and environment.
Performance horses need protective designs that support circulation during training. Senior horses often benefit from sheets for comfort and recovery. Everyday horses can use wraps or boots for steady maintenance support. Always match the therapy piece to your horse’s activity level and recovery goals.
- Performance horses → exercise boots & polo wraps
- Senior horses → therapy sheets for comfort & recovery
- Everyday training → stable boots or wraps
For riders looking at other circulation-focused options, Cold therapy products can also play a key role in recovery. That makes ceramic therapy a useful addition for performance horses after hard work, seniors needing extra comfort, and any horse on the road to recovery.
