by Katie Pfaff
SALT Chamber, an industry leader in dry salt therapy products, equipment, concepts and experiences, has partnered with the World Equestrian Center (WEC) in Ocala, Florida, and Hagyard Equine Medical Institute in Lexington, Kentucky to bring equine salt rooms to their respective facilities.
Dry salt therapy has been shown to impact lung volume and function, accelerate recovery, enhance performance and improve quality of life for animals, according to a news release.
Equine salt therapy involves the inhalation of 99.99% pure grade sodium chloride, which acts as a decongestant to clear mucus from the respiratory system. The treatment helps to improve the efficiency of a horse's breathing, which can lead to improved cardiovascular performance.
Veterinarians and horse trainers that have incorporated dry salt therapy sessions into their horses' training programs said benefits include having a lower airway disease treatment and that the therapy reduces travel sickness and treats mud fever. These experts have also said it has helped lower vet bills and leads to faster race times. Dry salt therapy is drug-free and compliant with competition rules and regulations in racing and all equine performance disciplines.
Leo Tonkin, chief executive officer at SALT Chamber, said working with the largest equestrian complex in the U.S. and the official veterinary service provider of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association is further proof of dry salt therapy as a safe, non-invasive, and drug-free therapy that improves inflammatory airway disease and skin issues, to naturally enhance performance.
