This soft and stretchy mask from Catago fits snugly and provides gentle pressure on the head, which, according to research, helps the horse feel calmer and more relaxed, less anxious, and less stressed.
The stress mask is made of FIR-Tech, which stands for Far Infrared Rays Technology, a technology where ceramic particles are infused into the material, transforming the horse's body heat into electromagnetic, infrared heat waves. These heat waves are reflected and penetrate the tissue up to 4-7 cm under the skin, expanding the blood vessels, which in turn results in increased blood circulation and reduced tension. This, combined with the mask's snug fit, has a naturally calming effect while also enhancing the horse's concentration and overall well-being.
In addition to its calming and stress-reducing functions, FIR-Tech technology also contributes to increased metabolism, reduced muscle tension, muscle twitches, and swelling, relieves sore muscles and joints, increases oxygen levels in the blood and oxygen supply to the muscles, reduces inflammation in joints, tendons, and ligaments, promotes mobility, and has a warming effect on the muscles.
The calming mask is an excellent option for providing the extra support that sensitive and stressed horses may need, and it has also shown positive effects on horses with sinus problems and various other conditions related to the head and neck.
