SV Equine Therapy · Quick Start Guide
ACTIVE Back & Neck LED Light Therapy Pad
Five simple steps to get started
Read the full user manual before first use. Always supervise your horse.
Get started in 5 steps
- Charge the power bank. Fully charge the supplied power bank before first use. Disconnect it from its charger, place it in the pouch and connect the pad’s power cord to the power bank. The manufacturer recommends a 5 V / 2 A output.
- Position the pad. With the LEDs switched off, place the LED-facing side over the clean, dry back or neck area. Secure comfortably using the supplied Velcro straps. Keep cords clear of legs and movement.
- Choose your light setting. Press the power button briefly for continuous mode (green indicator), or press and hold for more than 3 seconds for pulse mode (blue indicator). See settings below.
- Complete the session. Stay with your horse and watch for discomfort. The pad automatically switches off after 20 minutes. Introduce new horses gradually with shorter supervised sessions when appropriate.
- Remove, clean and store. Switch off and disconnect the power bank. Remove the pad, wipe the PVC surface with a lightly damp cloth, air-dry and store loosely in a clean, dry place above 5°C (41°F).

Important safety reminders
- Never leave your horse unattended while the pad is operating.
- Never look directly into the LEDs; the lights can become warm.
- Stop and remove the pad if your horse becomes distressed or uncomfortable.
- Do not sharply fold the LED area, immerse the pad in water or use damaged electrical parts.
- Never charge the power bank while it is attached to the horse.
The manufacturer suggests 1–2 sessions per day, but treatment frequency should suit the individual horse and veterinary advice. This product does not replace veterinary care.
