Why Use Protechmasta?
Money Saving Tips
Boost circulation with Protechmasta Far Infrared technology. Improved blood flow provides optimum levels of oxygen to the muscles to help prevent fatigue and perform stronger for longer.
Helps maintain healthy joints
Protechmasta helps decrease joint stiffness, pain and muscle spasms and reduces inflamation and the build-up of fluid in tissues (oedema).
Helps ease muscle tension
The heat generated from the increased blood flow makes connective tissue more flexible as it's extensibillity will increase, allowing for improved suppleness and prevention of injury
Aids recovery
Protechmasta products are great to use after exercise to assist your horse’s circulation and aid the cool down process. The range is also beneficial to support recovery or whilst on box rest.
Helps ease swollen or filled legs
A boost of blood flow around the body brings nutrients and fuel to cells and also takes away toxins, dead cells, and other unwanted debris which will help to reduce inflammation.
Aids relaxation
Reduce sweating and reduce the potential for heat stress, all of which are known to be performance prohibitors.
Combining technical fabrics with Far Infrared technology, the Protechmasta range is designed to be versatile and practical.

Toledo gets hot and excited on the lorry through nervous anticipation. We’ve tried loads of different rugs but it is Protechmasta that has seriously helped.

Award winning technology from Masta, the Protechmasta range is helping thousands of horses and riders.
Fab item, put on my mare who is always stiff for 20 mins when you start riding her, 5 minutes in she was soft and round, I always try and put her in it before working her now, she also has it on when we're finished

Fits very well. True to size. Horse was very relaxed from the get go and went very well even though it was bitterly cold weather. Not restrictive at all unlike some other designs of exercise sheet.

Brilliant rug, already have the no neck version but am delighted with this version of it. The old one has been washed many times but still looks like new and you can visibly see the horse relax when it has been on for only a short space of time.

I love, love, love this product, wear it every time I ride whether schooling or competition warm up, my horse responds so well to it and is ready for working a lot sooner than usual. One of the best products I have ever brought!!!

So after years of riding, I find when dismounting I’m stiff and struggle to walk for a few paces, so thought I’d try these tights. The first time I wore them, the fit and feel was excellent and after a 2 hour hack I found such an improvement when I dismounted as I felt loose and could walk and stand upright almost immediately! I really couldn’t believe the difference this range made so I will definitely be ordering some more, after all, my horses have the luxury of protecmasta range so why shouldn’t I??

I love these riding tights !!! They are so comfortable and fit perfectly. They are great wearing around the yard all day and stay very clean, the dirt just seems to brush off with your hand. I have a problem with my spine and get a lot of leg and hip pain but wearing these tights the pain is noticeably less during the days I have them on. I will definitely be buying another pair of these tights they are such good quality and worth the money compared to others I have bought.

I was very sceptical of purchasing a pair of riding tights as I often find that legging or tight type breeches do not support me enough. However , I was very pleased when I tried these on and found they were comfortable and supporting in the right places. I have also recently had a knee injury and I found with these tights I did not feel the need to wear my knee brace as much for support . They did also seem to help reduce the swelling in my knee caused by the injury. Definitely a must have in your wardrobe

Absolutely amazing product, my usually extremely tense and stressy mare has become so much more relaxed and focused after just a week of using this poll pad. Could not recommend this enough for any horse of any age even just for use in the stable.

I can't say enough about this rug!! My 16.2hh Warmblood 20yr gelding likes to be warm, he gets stiff in his back legs and neck easily. He came in from the field with a nasty scrap down the back of his hind leg from thigh to hock. So I put the rug on him, treated him with Masta herbal skin cream and put his Protech bandages on while he stood in for the day. When I came to turn him out he was moving freely and the swelling in his leg had gone down. This morning he came marching in as if nothing had happened. Obviously the healing properties and aid of circulation in the rug and bandages worked wonders for Max.

Findings from an independent clinical trial conducted by Sandie Chambers from Equitherm
Reduced and restored heart rate
Pre-exercise resting heart rate reduced – nown to relieve pre-exercise and competition stress and general anxiety.
Post-exercise heart rate restored to resting rate quicker – showing significantly improved recovery rates, a sign of reduced exercise stress.
Inflamation reduced
Inflammation reduced even after 30 minutes– promoting improved circulation, therefore, minimising the risk for injury and improved vascular health.
Temperature stabilised
Skin surface temperature stabilised pre and post-exercise – which will help regulate temperature, reduce sweating and reduce the potential for heat stress, all of which are known to be performance prohibitors.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is the Protechmasta range?
- Q: Does the Protechmasta material have to be in direct contact with the body?
- Q: Are the products machine washable?
- Q: Do I need to introduce the products slowly?
- Q: Will Protechmasta overheat my horse?
A: Far Infrared Technology - A naturalistic ceramic infused lining that emits a safe form of Far Infrared radiation, also known as Biogenetic Radiation, to the body, this is then reflected from the body creating a natural black body effect. Far infrared radiation is a natural process and is scientifically proven to assist blood circulation gently and safely, therefore, helping to reduce any swelling, ease muscle tension and support recovery and help in the prevention of injury.
*A black body is an object or organism (in this case the horse) that absorbs all FIR radiation that is placed upon it, (in this case the Far Infrared Radiating ceramics infused into the lining of the Protechmasta Rug.) It then reflects this radiation back at the same frequency that has been generated by the initiating blackbody the horse *
A: Better results can be achieved when Protechmasta is in direct contact with the skin.
A: Yes, Protechmasta products are machine washable. We recommend washing at 30 degrees on a gentle cycle and in a rug wash bag. Close all fastenings before washing. Please line dry naturally, do not tumble dry or iron.
A: We recommend that the Protechmasta products are introduced gradually to allow the body to adjust. For the first week use only for a maximum of four hours at a time, then introducing it for longer periods after a couple of weeks. For maximum results use as often as possible.
A: The Protechmasta rug unlike a thermal rug or everyday horse rug, is impregnated with a Bio-ceramic material. This Bio-ceramic material is a combination of varied ceramics and mineral oxides which are bound together and heated to 3000 degrees. Once the material is cooled it becomes Bio-ceramic, and emits Far Infrared Energy (FIR).
When Bio-ceramic material is impregnated into the fibres of the rug and placed next to the skin of the equine Far Infrared radiation is produced. The primary source of energy required to stimulate FIR emissions comes from the equine's body. The ceramic nanoparticles in the rug become ‘perfect absorbers’ maintaining their temperature at adequate levels then offering FIR back to the equine's body. This ensures there is a constant emission and absorption of FIR to the equines skin, regulating temperature and preventing the opportunity of overheating when applied in ambient temperatures up to 25 degrees.
