WILLIAM FOX-PITT, the World’s 2008 top ranked Event Rider
Having used the Activo-Med Combi System for over 3 years now I can honestly say it’s worth the investment 10 times over! Whilst the Activo-Med systems are excellent for rehabilitation, I use the pulsed electromagnetic and massage rug on all the horses both before they are worked to loosen and relax their muscles and after to aid the recovery process. The magnetic element of the system is particularly effective and the Combi Pro has become a very important part of our daily routine for optimising each horse’s performance. The systems are easy to use, breathable, lightweight and horse-friendly.
I also use the Activo-Med Lasers regularly and find them vital for speeding up the healing process on knocks, bruises and strains plus they are great for maintaining old injuries. We use them regularly as part of our physiotherapy process on the acupressure points in areas prone to strain.
The Activo-Med systems are extremely versatile. Like people, every horse is slightly different and these systems can be easily set up to suit individual horses, giving them all the opportunity to perform at their best. It’s a system that definitely won’t sit in the cupboard forgotten. |

CARL HESTER, International Dressage Rider
"I use the rug on all the competition horses and find them noticeable softer and looser as a result.
The Activo-Med Laser in conjunction with our magnetic rug, has provided a regular and consistent treatment pattern for our horses - we're thrilled with it." |

CHRIS KING, International Event Rider
“There is no better system on the market. It really does work! With its pre-set programmes it offers you a variety of options benefiting each individual horse both pre and post exercise, plus you can change the programmes to suit specific needs. We use the rug daily on all our horses and I have noticed a definite improvement in their overall well being both mentally and physically.
It is especially useful after strenuous exercise to aid tired muscles in recovery and treat specific areas. At 3DEs the horses have come out on the last day feeling fit and well and I am convinced this is due to using the system. The Secret Weapon lived in his Combi System during Bleinheim week and look how it helped him! He has never felt better. Every competition horse deserves one!
FMBs are always on hand to help you understand the full benefits of the Activo-Med systems so you truly get the most out of them.” |

PAUL NICHOLLS, Champion National Hunt Trainer
“Since using the Activo-Med Combi rug on the horses I have noticed an improvement in their ability to get over muscle problems. They come out looser after treatment and look better in themselves generally and are very relaxed when being treated. A few whose coats have not kept as well as others have done better in that aspect too.
We use the rug regularly on horses more prone to the small niggles of daily training and find it fits in easily with their routine. We use the massage post exercise and the full programs in the afternoon on the horses which need some assistance, there is an advantage to be able to set up individual programmes for certain horses.
We have also been very impressed with the Activo-Med Laser and feel it has speeded up the healing process on several horses. A common condition some racehorses suffer from is sore girth areas and the laser has definately helped the recovery time on these horses.” |

PETER STORR, International Dressage Rider
“The combination of having both pulsed electromagnetic and the massage over the horse’s entire body makes a huge difference. I find the horses much looser and more relaxed in their muscles straight away. It’s also been great for horses with specific problems and stiffnesses and I find the fact it also treats the neck area a great advantage.” |

WILLIAM AND PIPPA FUNNELL, International Show Jumper and International Event Rider
“We use the Activo-Med Combi+System on our horses both at home and at competitions. We find it really helps to keep the horses loose, supple and relaxed before and after everyday work and at competitions. The preset programmes are very good and we also like the fact you can set the system up to suit individual horses. The handheld magnetic laser shower is also extremely effective on specific ailments. We are very impressed with the equipment and highly recommend it.” |

RUTH EDGE, International Event and Dressage Rider
“I find that the system is a useful tool for both training and as an aid to speed up recovery from an injury. With easy instructions and a variety of programmes to choose from it is great for helping warm horses up for work as well as after exercise.
The horses love the system and relax immediately helping them to perform at their best.” |

BEN MAHER, Top Ranked Show Jumper 2009
“I find the Activo-Med rug hugely benefits the horses' suppleness and makes the sharper horses quieter and softer to ride. They are all much more relaxed when I first get on them and need much less time to warm up. The margins for error are so slight in show jumping and so having the horses as soft and supple as possible it very important. I definitely feel I get better results from the horses when using the Activo-Med Combi rug and both the horses and I would be lost without it.” |

LOUISE BELL, Top Show Working-Hunter Producer
“I call the Activo-Med Combi System my ‘Magic Rug’, as it is a rug that works for every horse, and the results speak for themselves. I believe it is the best magnetic rug I have had the pleasure of using, and with the added bonus of a massage system, my horses are going better than ever.
As it is easy to use and store, it means that when you buy one it doesn’t sit in a corner unused like most things you think you need. This rug is an investment that I suggest anyone who can ....... should”. |

ANNE DUNHAM, who was part of the GB Para Dressage gold-medal winning team
“Karen (Team GBR equine osteopath) used the Activo-Med rug on my horse BB Call Me Caine each time before I rode him and he felt as if he had been warmed up for 10/15 minutes, he was altogether much looser and happier and I felt a real difference.” |

DAVID HUNTER, Para Equestrian Dressage Team Performance Manager
“It was very generous of FMBS Magnetic Medics to supply the Activo-Med rug and I am sure it contributed to the well-being of the horses during the Championships.” |

SHARON HUNT, International Event Rider
“I really rate the combi rug - it aids good circulation, is excellent
for muscle healing and relaxes the horses. I use it all the time and
think it's particularly useful before and after events. My
horses enjoy wearing it too!” |

BECKY WHITCOMBE, Grand Prix Dressage Rider
“Just thought I would drop you a line to say how pleased I am with the Activo Med Rug. I have a 14 year old Grand Prix horse called Desiderata (Blondie), and I find a big difference when I use the rug before riding. She is very relaxed when having the rug treatment and enjoys it. As soon as I get on I can feel the difference in the horse, she feels like I have already been warming her up for twenty minutes. She takes a longer looser stride right from the beginning. She feels like a young horse! I use the rug every day but if for some reason I don’t use the rug the affect is still there for a few days.” |

JOE MEYER, International Event Rider, New Zealand
“I have been using the combi system magnet rug for a number of years and find it an essential part of my tool kit. The rug is in constant use both at home and at competitions, providing invaluable assistance in preparing “cold-backed” or older horses to be ridden. I also use the system as a recovery aid following strenous exercise and credit the rug with many successful Sunday morning trot-ups!” In 2008 we upgraded our old rug to the new “....” before travelling to Hong Kong for the Olympics. The new breathable, lightweight rug was ideal for the hot and humid conditions there but will be equally practical during the british summer.” |
