✨ Which Goldride product should you use for your horse’s legs… and why? ✨
At Goldride, we have 2 products specifically designed for legs 👇
________________________________________
🐴 1. Pads 110
➡️ Available individually or as a pair, with or without PVC
➡️ Size: 12’’ x 12’’
➡️ Can also be used on the body with the 39’’ strap (optional on the website)
This model comes with red light (660 nm) and infrared (850 nm), offering 3 operating modes + pulsed and continuous options:
🔴🌌 Mode 1: Combined – 660 nm + 850 nm
✔️ Works on both surface and deep tissues
✔️ Stimulates blood circulation and oxygenation
✔️ Accelerates healing and cell regeneration
✔️ Relieves muscle, tendon, and joint pain
✔️ Reduces inflammation and improves mobility
✔️ Promotes optimal muscle recovery
🔴 Mode 2: Red light – 660 nm
✔️ Targets skin and superficial muscles
✔️ Activates circulation
✔️ Promotes healing
✔️ Reduces mild inflammation
✔️ Improves tissue elasticity and flexibility
✔️ Speeds up repair processes
✔️ Supports muscle recovery
✔️ Helps reduce swelling/edema
🌌 Mode 3: Infrared – 850 nm
✔️ Penetrates deeply (muscles, tendons, joints)
✔️ Relieves pain and tendonitis
✔️ Regenerates deep tissues
When to use 660 nm… and when to combine it?
• 660 nm alone ✅: wounds, irritations, mild pain, superficial muscle recovery, end of rehabilitation.
• 660 nm + 850 nm ✅: tendon/joint pain or deeper tissues. Red light works on the surface, infrared reaches deeper → more complete recovery.

🐴 2. Pad 240 (for legs… and the whole body!)
➡️ Available individually, with or without PVC
➡️ Size: 16’’ x 16’’
Equipped with infrared (940 nm), red (660 nm), and blue (430 nm):
🌌 Mode 1: Infrared – 940 nm
✔️ Reaches muscles, tendons, and deep joints
✔️ Relieves chronic stiffness
✔️ Promotes tissue regeneration
🔴 Mode 2: Red light – 660 nm
✔️ Targets skin and superficial muscles
✔️ Activates circulation
✔️ Promotes healing
✔️ Reduces mild inflammation
✔️ Improves tissue elasticity and flexibility
✔️ Speeds up repair processes
✔️ Supports muscle recovery
✔️ Helps reduce swelling/edema
🔵 Mode 3: Blue light – 430 nm
✔️ Antibacterial and soothing effect
✔️ Promotes healing of wounds and irritations
✔️ Perfect for mud fever
When to use 660 nm… and when to combine it?
• 660 nm alone ✅: wounds, irritations, mild pain, superficial muscle recovery, end of rehabilitation.
• 660 nm + 940 nm ✅: deep tendon/joint pain. Red light supports the surface, infrared works deeper.
• 660 nm + 430 nm ✅: superficial wounds or irritations with bacterial risk. Blue light disinfects, red light heals.

✨ With or without PVC?
• With PVC 🛡️
✔️ Water, mud, and moisture resistant
✔️ Ultra-easy to clean (damp cloth)
✔️ Perfect for the stable and outdoor use
❌ Slight loss of 3–5% light output
❌ More rigid → less comfortable
❌ Folds when rolled
👉 Great choice for durability and easy maintenance
• Without PVC 🌿
✔️ Lighter and more flexible
✔️ Softer on the horse’s skin
✔️ Better breathability (does not cause sweating)
✔️ Easy cleaning (lightly damp cloth)
❌ Less resistant to mud and water
👉 Best choice for comfort, flexibility, and maximum light efficiency
➡️ Quick summary:
• With PVC = durable and practical, but a little less comfortable
• Without PVC = maximum comfort and efficiency, but more delicate maintenance

✨ What’s the difference between 850 nm and 940 nm infrared?
👌 Both are near-infrared (NIR), but their actions differ:
🌌 850 nm
✔️ The most studied in photobiomodulation
✔️ Penetrates skin and soft tissues
✔️ Targets: superficial → medium muscles, tendons, intermediate joints
👉 Versatile and effective for circulation, oxygenation, muscle/joint pain
🌌 940 nm
✔️ Penetrates even deeper
✔️ Targets: deep joints, dense tissues, bone structures
✔️ Stronger absorption by water and hemoglobin → enhanced circulatory effect
👉 Ideal for deep stiffness and chronic pain
⚖️ Simplified comparison:
• 850 nm → muscles, tendons, intermediate joints
• 940 nm → deep joints and denser tissues

✨ When to use Pulsed Mode and Continuous Mode?
⚡ Pulsed Mode
Light activates in pulses (like a beat).
👉 Best for:
• Chronic or persistent inflammation
• Old or recurring injuries
• Long-term damaged tissue recovery
• Tendonitis, arthritis, chronic pain
🎯 Goal: gentle and deep cellular stimulation → activates regeneration without “overloading” sensitive tissues.
☀️ Continuous Mode
Light stays constant throughout the session.
👉 Best for:
• Acute or recent pain
• Muscle stiffness after exercise
• Mild or temporary inflammation
• Fast recovery after training or competition
🎯 Goal: fast anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect → promotes relaxation, circulation, and immediate recovery.
