Media Release - Thursday August 29

In the highly competitive world of racing, every advantage counts.

Equilume uses the power of light to maximise fertility, performance and well-being for horses. Daylight plays a pivotal role in regulating a horse’s internal rhythms and ensures the body works in harmony with the environment. A horse’s circadian rhythm is the 24-hour internal clock that regulates various physiological processes, including sleep patterns, metabolism, and hormone production. By controlling light exposure, Equilume products can replicate the benefits of natural daylight, ensuring that horses experience the right type of light at the right time, regardless of environmental conditions.

Shine in the sales ring

Presenting your horse in top condition is crucial for increasing its value in the sales ring. This is where Equilume shines. The Equilume Light Masks ensure that any horse for the sales ring receives consistent light exposure, even during shorter winter days or in poorly lit stables. By maintaining consistent blue light, Equilume helps improve coat condition and enhances muscle development so your horse looks its best to catch the eye of prospective buyers.

Torryburn Stud yearlings benefit from Equilume.

“I have used Equilume Light Masks on my own show horses over the years with amazing results. Torryburn uses the Light Masks and the results are fantastic. The horses' coats gleam like a mirror, and we also notice increased muscle development and an absence of viral infections. Generally, the overall condition and health of the yearlings is above our usual standard. I highly recommend the use of blue light technology for later sales to have horses in prime condition.”

Mel Copelin, Stud Manager,  Torryburn Stud, NSW Australia

Continued success on the track

Equilume also plays a vital role for horses in training to help maintain their peak physical condition and mental sharpness. Equilume’s products are designed to optimise training outcomes by ensuring horses are physically prepared for the track.

Equilume’s transitioning Stable Lights can help horses recover from the demands of training by regulating their circadian rhythms, leading to better sleep and faster recovery times. The Stable Lights ensure that horses experience a natural day and night cycle, even during winter months, which is crucial for maintaining consistent energy levels and focus.

“The results speak for themselves, our horses thrive and regularly produce their peak performances when under the Equilume Stable Lights.

These stable lights provide us with a valuable advantage in enhancing a horse's preparation when additional support is needed most. We are extremely happy with the consistent improvement shown in our horses using the Equilume Stable Lights.”

  • Brad Widdup Racing
