You know your horse. And you know when something is off.
The shortened stride after a hard session. The flinch when you run a hand down the back. The stiffness that takes half the warm-up to work out of an older horse. You have tried rest, liniment, and adjusting the work, and the soreness keeps coming back.
Light therapy sessions with an equine vet or bodyworker help, and they add up fast: scheduling around someone else’s calendar, per-visit fees, and weeks between sessions when consistency is what actually matters. Meanwhile your horse stands in the stall, sore today, working tomorrow.
Meet the Novaa Deep Healing Pad: equine red light therapy you run yourself
A flexible pad packed with 450 light chips that lies flat against your horse’s body, right where the soreness is. 150 chips deliver 660nm red light at the skin and coat line; 300 deliver 850nm near-infrared light that reaches deeper into muscle and joint tissue.
You drape it, press start, and 20 minutes later you are done. The same pad behind 324 verified reviews for human joints and muscles, now working in barns.
How equine red light therapy works
Red light therapy (also called photobiomodulation) has been studied in over 3,000 clinical publications and is an established tool in veterinary and human rehab settings alike.
Light reaches the tissue
660nm red and 850nm near-infrared wavelengths pass through the coat and skin when the pad sits in close contact with the body.
Cells produce more energy
The light is absorbed by mitochondria, supporting production of ATP, the energy cells use to repair and function.
The body does the rest
With more cellular energy, the body is better equipped to manage soreness and support its own recovery, session after session.
The honest part: light works by contact, not distance. Brush the area first and lay the pad flat against the coat. Results build gradually with consistent use over 2 to 4 weeks; this is not a one-session fix.
Three steps, twenty minutes, right in the stall
Brush and drape
Groom the area, then lay the pad flat over the back, loin, stifle, shoulder, or neck.
Press start
Pick the intensity on the remote, and the pad runs a 20-minute session on its own.
Repeat and watch
Use it 4 to 5 times a week. Most owners keep sessions in the grooming routine, before or after work.

For legs, hocks, and hard-to-reach spots: the Novaa Extra Strength Healing Laser
A cordless Class 3B cold laser with 650nm and 808nm medical lasers for targeted work on lower limbs, tendons, and joints where a flat pad cannot sit flush. Small enough to hold in one hand while you work around the horse. Pairs with the pad: the pad covers the topline, the laser spot-treats. $299.90.
Add The Healing LaserWhy horse owners keep the pad in the grooming kit
Consistency is what drives results with light therapy, and a pad that lives next to the brushes gets used. Here is what that looks like week to week.
Soreness support without pills or pastes
Nothing to dose, nothing to sweat off, nothing to conflict with what your vet prescribes. Light, contact, and time.
It fits the horse, not the other way around
The pad is flexible: it lies flat over a topline, wraps a stifle, or drapes across a shoulder. Rigid panels and lamps cannot follow those curves.
Sessions on your schedule
No trailering, no waiting on a practitioner’s calendar. Consistency is what drives results, and consistency is exactly what an at-home pad makes possible.
One purchase instead of per-session fees
Professional light sessions are priced per visit, and consistency calls for several sessions a week. The pad costs $349.90 once and runs as often as your horse needs it.
It works on you too
Sore lower back after stacking hay? The pad was originally built for human joints and muscles, and NovaaLab devices are used by more than 150,000 people. One tool, whole barn.
Horse red light therapy: at-home pad vs. clinic sessions
A practitioner who can assess your horse is worth every dollar. For the week-in, week-out consistency between those visits, that is what the pad is for.
What happened when a practitioner put it to work
“As you can see by the photos I am treating a horse with chronic pelvic and stifle soreness. This horse is very much in need of the laser therapy. I am happy to announce that his initial treatment response showed a level of comfort one would hope for at an early injury stage. After 5 days this same horse was showing no signs of pain and the inflammation was not present. 10 days out and he is back to a full normal daily work schedule.”Verified Novaa customer, equine therapy practitioner

The equine review base is young. The device behind it is not. We will not pad this section with borrowed praise, so here is what actually backs that one review: the same pad carries 324 verified reviews from human use, NovaaLab has 150,000+ devices in the field, and you get 60 days to test it on your own horse. As more horse owners share their results, they will be added here.
Questions horse owners ask before buying
Does red light therapy work through a horse’s coat?
Light penetrates best with close contact and a clean, brushed coat. The 850nm near-infrared chips are chosen precisely because longer wavelengths reach deeper than visible red light. For very thick winter coats, work the pad into the coat so it sits close to the skin, or treat clipped areas.
How long is a session, and how often should I run one?
20 minutes per area, 4 to 5 times a week. The pad’s timer handles the session automatically. Most owners see the clearest change after 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use, not after one session.
Is it safe for horses?
The pad is a low-level light device that produces gentle warmth, with no needles and no medication. Most horses settle quickly, and many owners report their horses relax into sessions. Introduce it like any new piece of equipment, and ask your veterinarian before using it on an injury under active treatment.
Which of the equine red light therapy products do I need, the pad or the laser?
Start with the pad for large areas: back, loin, hindquarters, shoulder, neck. Add the Extra Strength Healing Laser if you want targeted spot work on lower limbs, tendons, or joints where a flat pad cannot sit flush.
Can I use it on myself as well?
Yes. The Deep Healing Pad was originally built for human joints and muscles, and that is where its 324 reviews come from. Horse owners use the same pad on their own backs, knees, and shoulders.
Will it replace my vet or equine physio?
No, and it is not meant to. It is a supportive tool for comfort and recovery between professional visits. Keep your vet in the loop, especially for lameness or an active injury.
What if it does not work for my horse?
You have 60 days to find out at no risk. If you are not seeing what you hoped for, send it back for a full refund of the product price. The pad also carries a warranty of up to 3 years.
How fast will I see a difference?
Be skeptical of anyone promising overnight changes. Some owners notice their horse standing more comfortably within days; the honest pattern reported by users is gradual improvement over 2 to 4 weeks of consistent sessions. Individual results vary.
Try it on your horse for 60 days
Order the pad, use it in your real routine for two months, and watch your horse. If you do not see enough of a difference to keep it, send it back and we refund the full product price. The pad is also covered by a warranty of up to 3 years, and our support team answers real questions from real people.
Your horse cannot tell you where it hurts. You can still do something about it.
