How to Use
- Tie or hold your horse safely on a level surface and give them a moment to see and sniff the roller.
- Hold the handle and rest the roller flat against a large muscle area such as the neck or shoulder.
- Roll slowly with light, even pressure, following the direction of the muscle rather than across bone.
- Work each area for a short time, watching your horse's reaction and easing off if they show discomfort.
- Move on to the back and hindquarters, avoiding the spine, any wound, swelling or sore spot.
- Use for a few minutes before intensive work as a warm-up, and again afterwards to aid regeneration.
- Wipe the roller clean after use and allow it to dry before storing in your grooming kit.
FAQ
Does the Waldhausen Relax Roller need batteries or charging?
No. It is a completely manual massage roller with no electronics, so there is nothing to charge, plug in or maintain.
Where on the horse should I use it?
Use it on the soft, large muscle areas such as the neck, shoulder, back and hindquarters. Avoid bony areas, the spine and any wound, swelling or sore spot.
When is the best time to use a massage roller?
It is particularly effective as a warm-up before intensive training and for regeneration afterwards, but it can also be included in a normal grooming routine.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. The roller is hand-held and guided by you, so it can be used on ponies, cobs, warmbloods and larger horses alike - simply adjust the pressure and the area you cover.
How do I clean the roller?
Wipe it down after each use and let it dry fully before storing. Keep it clean if it is shared between horses.
