Why Gladiator Equine’s PTR™ Earplugs Are a Smart Choice for Your Horse

If you’re a horse owner or an equestrian, you understand the importance of keeping your horse calm and focused at all times, especially during training. From noisy environments to unexpected sounds, various factors can unsettle your equine companion. That’s where Gladiator Equine’s PTR™ Earplugs come into play.

We’re bringing our innovative far infrared technology to earplugs soon. They are designed to enhance your horse’s well-being and performance, making them an essential tool for any horse enthusiast.

Gladiator Equine will explore the benefits and technology behind these earplugs, and provide practical tips on how to introduce them to your horse.

The Importance of Equine Calming Products

Horses thrive in calm and predictable environments. However, the reality is far from ideal. Whether it’s a bustling event, loud construction noises, or even routine activities like trailering, horses can easily become stressed and spooked. This is where our equine calming products become invaluable.

Gladiator Equine’s earplugs stand out for their effectiveness and safety, providing a simple yet powerful solution for reducing stress and improving focus.

Understanding the Technology Behind Gladiator Equine Earplugs

Gladiator Equine’s PTR™ Earplugs utilize proprietary FIR (Far Infrared Radiation) technology, which sets them apart from traditional earplugs. This advanced technology was originally developed by our parent company, Gladiator Therapeutics.

The FIR technology helps to calm horses by emitting gentle infrared waves that promote relaxation and natural healing. This innovative approach not only reduces noise but also enhances overall equine well-being.

The Benefits of Using Horse Earplugs

Using earplugs for horses offers numerous benefits:

  • Firstly, they help reduce stress by muffling loud and sudden noises. This allows horses to remain calm in noisy environments.
  • Secondly, earplugs improve focus, enabling horses to concentrate better during training and equine competitions.
  • Lastly, they enhance performance by minimizing distractions and helping horses maintain their composure.

How to Introduce and Use Earplugs with Your Horse

Introducing earplugs to your horse requires patience and time for them to acclimate to them. Start by using the earplugs for short periods while your horse is in their stall, where they feel most relaxed. You can even offer treats to create a positive association.

From there, slowly roll each earplug into their ear canal and softly push it down so that it fits snugly but comfortably. Gradually extend the duration of use over time. Eventually, you want to use the earplugs during riding sessions, shows, and other stressful situations.

Practical Tips for Introducing Earplugs

  • Start Small: Begin with short sessions to help your horse get used to the earplugs.
  • Positive Reinforcement: Use treats and praise to create a positive experience.
  • Gradual Increase: Slowly increase the duration and frequency of use until your horse is comfortable wearing them during various activities.
