Can I change my mind after receipt?
Yes. You have 30 days from receipt to return an item to us, without having to provide a justification. This is more than the 14 days required by the legal right of withdrawal, because an equine wellness device is best evaluated over several sessions, not in five minutes.
The item must be returned to us complete and in a resalable condition. Return shipping costs are your responsibility, unless the product was defective or did not correspond to your order.

Are your devices suitable for all horses?
Are your devices suitable for all horses?
In the vast majority of cases, yes — our devices are adjustable precisely for this reason. A pony, a riding horse, and a draft horse have neither the same build nor the same sensitivity.
Each product page indicates the accepted circumferences, the areas covered, and the recommended intensities. In case of doubt regarding a particular build, write to us before ordering: that is the best time to ask.
Does this replace my veterinarian or my osteopath?
Does this replace my veterinarian or my osteopath?
No, never. Our products are comfort and recovery accessories. They do not provide any diagnosis, treat any pathology, or replace any animal healthcare professional.
In the event of lameness, abnormal heat, swelling, or pain upon touch, you must call your veterinarian. Our devices are for use afterwards, in daily maintenance—and many practitioners actually recommend this work between sessions.
My horse is afraid of devices. Will it work?
My horse is afraid of devices. Will it work?
It's the most frequently asked question, and the answer can be summed up in one word: presentation.
What scares a horse away is almost always the noise, rarely the sensation. We have therefore prioritized discreet devices—our massager operates at 45 decibels, the equivalent of a quiet conversation.
The method is always the same: device off first, let them sniff it, then start at the lowest intensity on a large muscle mass like the shoulder, away from the head. Most horses accept it in two sessions. Each product page details the protocol.
What happens if my device breaks down?
What happens if my device breaks down?
All of our electrical appliances are covered by a 2-year legal warranty of conformity, in addition to the manufacturer's warranty specific to each product, which is indicated on its product page.
In the event of a breakdown, please write to us with your order number and a brief description of the problem — a photo or video helps speed things up significantly. We will take care of the rest.
