A therapeutic covering for a horse having a mesh material that is infused with ceramic mineral powder (emitting far-infrared wavelengths) and magnets coupled to the mesh material. The mesh material can have a mesh size that provides therapeutic effect, is breathable, and is bug resistant.

The present invention relates to heatable garments (1), comprising a garment body (3) and a heating pad (5) adhered to at least a portion of the garment body (3), wherein the heating pad (5) comprises graphene particles dispersed in a polymer matrix material. The invention also provides fabrics for making such garments, and methods of making such garments and fabrics. Also provided are heatable bedding incorporating a heating pad as described above.

Exemplary embodiments herein describe accessory equipment for equestrian applications, and in particular a flexible protective wrap or boot for supporting and protecting the upper and lower leg of a horse, including the fetlock joint. When wrapped or fastened to a horse limb, the exemplary wrap can impact strength, friction surfaces, elongation, porosity, compression, breathability, water and moisture evaporation, elasticity, absorbency and cushioning. The wrapping structure may include improved limb support, general limb protection, and treatment for swollen legs, fetlock and pastern. Embodiments described herein may include limb protection in general and particularly during trailering and long transit in motor vehicles and trailers, cellulitis treatment, and providing compression that does not disrupt lymphatic flow and blood circulation when wrapping is applied.

A yoke device for a horse having a neck, a back, a barrel, a dock, a withers, a chest, a mane, at least one shoulder, a point of said at least one shoulder, a forearm, and at least one scapula is disclosed. The yoke device comprises a material having a “Y” shape, a belly end, a withers end, and a main body portion. The withers end comprises a pair of elongate strips splaying outwardly from a central point disposed within the main body portion and forming a neck opening therebetween. The pair of elongate strips circumscribe the neck of the horse when the elongate strips are disposed about the neck of the horse. The main body portion overlaps the chest of the horse when the main body portion of the yoke device is disposed in overlapping engagement with the chest of the horse.

A compression wrap garment integrally knit with variable or uniform compression areas for quadruped support, protection from further injury and post-surgical support. The compression wrap garments and embodiments can be used in concert with existing modified garments, encircling the forelegs and or hind legs and torso, if necessary, of a quadruped to provide support, rest, surface guarding, and tension to animals suffering from degenerative, surface, or deep spinal diseases including or excluding extremity trauma. The variable compression may be graded or independently distributed in a continuous nor non-continuous manner.

Embodiments for an improved horse, livestock, and other guadruped's garment and method of use are disclosed. The EquiVest comprises a one-piece water-resistant vest having an open-oval-neckline with bib-tab design for slipping over the animal's head. Optionally, the garment includes hardware for attaching overlapping side panels. Coupled with the side panel attaching hardware, the bib-tab design provides side tabs with a hook-and-loop mechanism in a secure fit. The vest covers the top-line, both sides, abdominal area, center-front chest, and hind area to allow the horse to have complete ease of movement while maintaining a stable core body temperature.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for easily managing a health condition of a calf. The method for managing a health condition of a calf, including: calculating at least one of an average value of beat intervals, a variation in beat intervals, a beat number, HF, or LF/HF in the first resting period and the second resting period in which the acceleration is the constant M or less is satisfied; issuing a warning for notifying abnormality of a body temperature of the calf when a magnitude relationship of at least one of formulae (1) to (5) below; and raising or lowering the body temperature of the calf:

the average value of beat intervals in the first resting period>the average value of beat intervals in the second resting period(1)

the beat number in the first resting period<the beat number in the second resting period(2)

the variation in beat intervals in the first resting period>the variation in beat intervals in the second resting period(3)

the HF in the first resting period>the HF in the second resting period(4)

the LF/HF in the first resting period<the LF/HF in the second resting period(5).

A smart animal garment 1, such as a horse blanket 1, for an animal 5 in which the garment 1 can extend around the chest area 8a, shoulders 27 and towards the hindquarters of the animal 5 and is fitted with sensors 3 for monitoring the health and wellbeing of the animal 5 and the data parameters detected by the sensors 3 are communicable to a stable mounted communications hub 6 via a monitor 4 located for example at the chest portion 8a of the garment 1.

A therapeutic covering comprises a blanket comprising mesh infused with ceramic mineral powder (emitting far-infrared wavelengths) comprising approximately 80-150 magnets over the primary acupuncture points. These magnets are neodymium magnets with a strength ranging from approximately 1100-2400 gauss. The blanket is sold in a range of sizes to fit ponies and horses alike. The magnets themselves are sewn into neoprene pockets and cannot be moved from their original sewn-in position.

A blanket with a first section having both a first end and a second end, and a second section that is at least partially formed from an elastic material and coupled to the first section. The first and second sections of this blanket are configured to be positioned on an animal, with the second section coupled to the first section and positioned at least partially along a chest area of the animal.
