What inspired the Massage Mitt Hotdot?

With the Equilibrium Massage range already trusted by horse owners worldwide, the Hotdot was designed to offer a compact, targeted way to combine the benefits of heat and massage.

Using our signature cyclical massage, the Hotdot is ideal for holding over specific areas that may benefit from focused support. Whether you are using it as part of your horse’s routine, to support your dog or pet, or even on yourself, the Hotdot gives you a simple way to add heat and massage into everyday care.

How can massage and heat help?

Horses, dogs and active people can all experience tired, tight or hardworking muscles. Massage and heat are two simple, non-invasive ways to support healthy muscle function, relaxation and comfort.

Massage

Massage can help support healthy circulation, soothe tired muscles and encourage relaxation. The Hotdot uses cyclical massage, making it ideal for targeting specific areas or trigger points.

Benefits of massage include:

• Helps maintain healthy blood and lymph circulation.
• Soothes tired or hardworking muscles.
• Supports recovery after exercise.
• Promotes relaxation.

Heat

Heat is a gentle option for animals who may find massage overstimulating, or for those who need a softer introduction. It can also be used on its own before stretching, during a calm session, or alongside massage for a deeper treatment.

The Hotdot is designed to reach 42°C on the surface and has been carefully tested to stay within the researched heat range of 40–45°C during the 10-minute treatment period.

Benefits of heat include:

• Supports healthy blood circulation.
• Helps maintain good oxygen and nutrient supply to the surrounding tissue.
• Encourages muscle relaxation.
• Increases flexibility.
• Helps maintain joint mobility.

Using the Massage Mitt Hotdot

The Massage Mitt Hotdot has three massage intensities, allowing you to tailor each session.

LOW

Best suited for:

• Introductory sessions.
• Cooling down after exercise.
• Particularly sensitive horses, dogs or pets.
• Animals new to massage.

MEDIUM

Best suited for:

• Everyday use.
• General maintenance.
• Pre-exercise use.
• Horses and pets who are comfortable with regular massage.

HIGH

Best suited for:

• Horses who prefer a stronger massage.
• Animals with thicker coats.
• Animals who are slightly overweight.
• Larger or giant dog breeds.

For a targeted session, hold the Hotdot over a specific area for 5–10 minutes. If tolerated, light pressure can be applied for a stronger massage.

For an all-over massage, move the Hotdot slowly in sweeping motions over the main muscle groups, following the direction of the hair. Spend around 2 minutes on each area, including the neck, shoulder, back, hindquarters and hamstrings.

Use heat on its own for a gentle, warming session. This is ideal for sensitive animals, those returning to work, animals recovering from injury, or for warming muscles before stretching.

For a deeper session, combine heat and massage together.

Who is the Massage Mitt Hotdot for?

The Hotdot can be used on horses, humans, dogs and other pets.

It is suitable for horses and ponies:

• At rest or in retirement.
• In work, from hacking to competition.
• Returning to work or retraining.
• Who are older or sensitive.
• On box rest, standing in for long periods, or on limited turnout.

It can also be used for dogs and other pets who enjoy gentle handling and massage. Always introduce the Hotdot slowly, especially with nervous, sensitive or suspicious animals.

How should I charge, store and care for the Hotdot?

A full charge can take up to 6 hours. The indicator light shows red while charging and blue when fully charged. Charge indoors only, with the cable fully uncoiled, and avoid wet environments.

Once charged, replace the dust cap on the charging port.

When not in use, make sure the Hotdot is completely dry before storing it in the bag provided. Store in warm, dry conditions, away from direct sunlight.

To clean, do not wash the material. Gently wipe with a damp cloth using water only, and do not scrub.

Caution

Do not use the Hotdot on:

• Open wounds, new injuries or new swelling within the first 48 hours.
• Areas where infection is suspected.
• Malignant tumours.
• Bony areas such as the wither, point of shoulder or point of hip.

Do not apply more than 2 consecutive cycles of heat in one spot.

The Hotdot is not a toy. Do not leave it unattended with horses, dogs or other pets, and do not allow chewing or mouthing.
