As everyone knows, horses are sensitive to the influence of light. They develop a winter coat when there is less daylight and a summer coat when the days get longer again. Just as artificial light affects the fertility of the mare, it can also affect the day-night rhythm of your horse.
Developed and tested by veterinarians, the REM™ mask from XpertEquine™ ensures that your horse gets a good sleep, even with the lights on. It’s clinically proven to facilitate the melatonin rise needed for sleep and recovery, improving overall performance. In clinical studies, horses wearing REM masks showed substantial increases in melatonin levels even while under continuous lights, while horses housed under the same light conditions without the masks had melatonin levels below the measurable threshold. The REM™ mask features uniquely designed eye coverings made of a special material that blocks blue light from entering eye. Blocking blue light from the eye allows the horse to produce melatonin, facilitating rest. The mask design is safe for equine eyes and resistant to shattering and scratching. Additionally, the patched-style mask can help horses with eye injuries and can ease anxiety during travel and other stressful situations.
