Recovery

How Can You Help Your Horse Recover More Effectively?

Supporting your horse’s recovery after intense effort, transport, a fall, or competition is essential to reduce discomfort and maintain long-term physical performance. Recovery can be significantly improved through targeted natural care, nutritional support, and external applications.

Natural recovery support with Arbalou Choc

Arbalou Choc is a blend of plant-based aromatic substances designed to help limit the effects of trauma such as bruises, hematomas, muscle soreness, and stiffness in horses.

After heavy exercise, long transport, or injury, horses may develop muscle soreness due to micro-lesions in muscle fibers caused by intense physical effort. Pain and stiffness can vary depending on age, workload, recovery time, and training intensity.

Arbalou Choc supports overall recovery by helping to ease muscular discomfort, joint pain, ligament and tendon strain, and trauma-related issues. It can be used for both recent and older injuries, as well as during pre- and post-surgical recovery phases. Its goal is to improve comfort, reduce pain, and support faster recovery.
