WHY YOU SHOULD INVEST IN HORSELIGHT
Modern management methods mean that horses can spend a large proportion of the twenty four hour period in their stable with no exposure to daylight and many are disrupted by illumination at night. This system negatively impacts the horse’s circadian rhythm (body clock) and can result in lack of appetite and poor performance, impaired growth and diminished immune response.
DairyLight, the sister company to HorseLight, has had over a decade of success in the dairy and beef industry. HorseLight has now been introduced to provide the equine industry with biologically effective light.
RESULTS
SEEN IN ALL
STABLED
HORSES
Better daytime alertness
improved rest and sleep pattern
​
​
Extends summer coat and body condition
encouraging the body to convert feed to
muscle mass, meaning less feed required
​
​
Studies show and owners report "happier' horses
that are stabled commenting that they appear more relaxed and with noticeably fewer stable vices such as box walking, cribbing, weaving etc
​
​
Reduced bacterial pathogens and fungal load
leading to improved respiratory function and reduced cases of
highly contagious fungal health threats
Owners in all disciplines report an increase in athletic performance,
improved growth rates in young horses and much fast recovery times
HORSELIGHT FOR
PERFORMANCE
Many performance horses spend more time in their stable than they do outside, perhaps even more during the summer due to competing and training. There are also many occasions when turnout just isn't an option due to illness, injury or lack of space
​
By installing HorseLight you can be assured that your horse will gain from the huge range of health benefits that this unique light offers
Improved food conversion leading to increased condition and muscle mass
Owners have reported having to feed less hard feed as the uptake in nutrients is significantly higher than that of horses stabled without HorseLight. A saving on feed bills
​
​
Improved vitamin D and Calcium absorption
Horses get their much-needed Vitamin D which is essential for calcium absorption through their skin. Stabled horses during the summer miss out on this vital sunshine ingredient which can lead to tying up, skin and coat conditions and many other health implications
​
​
Summer coat extending well into late autumn
A less dense winter coat, means less clipping is needed

HORSELIGHT
FOR BREEDING
Mares come into season earlier with stronger signals and have a more reliable ovulation pattern
​
Stallions display an earlier reproductive capacity
​
Competition mares who are embryo transfer candidates will benefit from an earlier breeding season
​
Can help with producing earlier foals
​
Red night light acts as an observation light during foaling
​
​​
It has long been acknowledged and research has shown that the introduction of light into the breeding cycle of mares in the winter months would bring them into season earlier.
​
Horses are known as "long-day-breeders.' This means that their normal cyclic activity is primarily activated by an increase in the length of daylight in early spring.

With technology now enabling us to select specific light spectrums and intensity and at different times of the year, we can optimise biological performance
