I had a Theraplate, used it five days per week for almost a year religiously for a horse that had feet issues... absolutely no results! Ended up trading it for a horse that kept bucking me off!

Ive used the theraplate and equivibe and didnt see any difference in my horse. I stood on it with him and didnt feel any difference in myself either lol I think we all get too caught up in the latest "fad" and i know were all just trying to make our horses feel their best, but sometimes i think less is more.
I used it for several months, most days a week. It certainly didn't hurt anything but any benefit was not discernable by me. He also did not like standing on it.
I'll be the dissenting voice. I don't know that it will have the wonderful benefits for every horse that the advertisements said. BUT we had a horse that was foundered and equivibe was used as part of the therapy treatment. He was turned out in the sand pen (for softness on his feet) where the machine was stored. This horse would go stand on the vibe and whinny at you to come turn it on. Something about it had to feel good to him for that to occur.
