EP 3: A Horse Solarium Fit for the Queen

Wouldn’t it be nice to curry, brush, and tack up in a grooming stall that was warm in the winter? Your horse would appreciate a warm back just as much as you would appreciate warm hands and toes as you hop in the tack for a brisk winter workout. And don’t forget all the bennies from increased O2 to joints and muscles, thanks to low-level laser light solariums from Drimee.

Our guest in this episode is Mark Whitworth, president of Drimee Ltd., manufacturer of stainless steel horse solariums for barns of all sizes. What’s a SOLARIUM you ask? Well, that’s easy. It’s the English way of saying “sunlamp”! Actually, it’s much more than that. The Drimee solariums provide more than just welcomed light in winter. These brilliantly designed infrared light systems provide therapeutic support for equine joints and muscles year round, while also creating a safe and warm micro-climate in the winter and an effective cooling system in the summer. Listen in to our chat with Mark and let’s more about these innovative gadgets together!
