I'm with Ann Marie Nagle, she came by here at the World Equestrian Games (WEG) and she started telling people right off the bat how much she loves her laser. Why did you love our laser? And you have the ACTIVet PRO?
I have the ACTIVet PRO series. I bought it basically because I saw all the different things you can heal and I am not a wealthy person so it saves me a lot of money. I mean like even before I came to WEG, I had a young horse, he stepped on the edge of his coronet band and busted it open, he was pretty sure he was dying. I pulled up the equine severe pain setting, I set it on that, and by the afternoon he was pretty sure he was fine again. I mean he was actually acting like he had a broken bone because he was non-weight bearing, but I knew it was fine. I use it for fungus. We travel to Florida so we fight a lot of that. So I can do it without meds. I like to be as natural as I can, so I use bute when I need to but I like to try to stay away from it and let the body heal itself.
Right, and there are no side effects with laser so that plays right into what you want.
Right, and a lot of people think, oh, it's a laser, it burns. No, it doesn't burn, the technology is incredible, it's fast. You have to be a little careful with the blue light the first time, you could scare a horse if they see it flash in the stall, but once they get used to it they actually are like yeah, could you come on back with that. I use it if I know a horse worked really hard that day. I just do the general 1000-3000 Hz setting for 15 minutes just across the top line. It's like acupuncture without sticking them with needles. And it's approved, so I can take it to any horse show and use it No FEI restrictions, and in fact, ours are FEI certified and being used in the treatment barns right now. Right. And I have healed some very, very nasty things that I even looked at and they were infected and I was like ugh, I don't know if I can do this because the drain opened on top and it just draws it out. And then when you do 50-250 Hz settings, it closes everything over really nice like a liquid bandage.
So you're saying that blue light has been very effective against infections?
Oh my goodness, yeah, to be truthfully honest I wouldn't own one without the blue light setting. And this is the only laser with that, and I love the fact that it has a 50% and a 100% setting because you can really determine how aggressive you want to be.
Well it sounds like you recommend our laser!
I'll tell you what, every barn should actually have one.
We agree! Thank you very much. Ann Marie Nagle is from Ohio, in Columbus.
Columbus, and I travel to Florida in the winter so when you travel with a horse, you know, they pick up stuff right away.
And how do you like the portability?
I do like the portability and hand strap that you offer for the young horses is awesome because sometimes when they lift their legs it can get knocked out. But also it's very sturdy, as long as you take care of your lenses and don't scratch them up, it's really dummy-proof.
Great, and how long have you had yours?
Almost 2 years.
You can give it to your grooms and as long as you teach them to take care of it, they can easily use it because of the preset protocol settings. I love the equine and companion preset settings, those are invaluable. Once you become really familiar with it, then you can use the PRO settings and all those and really dig deep. But the preset settings are great for beginners.
And how important is the safety aspect to you, knowing that there's no liability and it can't hurt anybody?
Oh, I mean, that was like foremost.
