ACTIVE Hoof LED Light Therapy Pad

Charging, fitting, light modes and care instructions

Please read this entire guide before using the hoof boot. Keep it available for future reference.

Important safety information

Fit the hoof boot while switched off, and supervise your horse throughout use.
  • Never leave your horse unattended. Use only when the horse can stand calmly and safely.
  • Introduce the boot gradually, especially if your horse is sensitive to hoof handling. Stop and remove it safely if the horse lifts the leg repeatedly, kicks or becomes distressed.
  • Never look directly at the LEDs. Near-infrared LEDs may be operating even when they appear unlit.
  • The LEDs may become warm. Check the hoof and surrounding skin for discomfort or irritation.
  • Do not sharply fold, crush or damage the LED area or electrical components.
  • Do not use a damaged boot or charging cable, and never immerse the boot in water.
  • Do not operate while charging. Fully charge before first use.

The boot automatically switches off after 15 minutes. This device does not replace veterinary examination or treatment for hoof pain, lameness, infection or other medical concerns.

What’s included

  • 1 × SV Equine Therapy ACTIVE Hoof LED Therapy Boot
  • 1 × USB charging cable
  • 1 × Drawstring storage bag
  • 1 × User manual

Package contents are based on the supplied manufacturer brochure.

Charge before use

  1. Switch the hoof boot off and locate the USB Type-C charging port.
  2. Connect the supplied USB cable to a compatible USB power source.
  3. Allow the built-in rechargeable battery to charge. Disconnect the cable before fitting the boot to your horse.
  4. If the light output becomes noticeably dim, recharge before the next session.
Battery: Built-in rechargeable 1,800 mAh battery. Use a suitable, undamaged USB charger; the manufacturer brochure does not specify an exact charging time.

Fit and start a session

  1. Prepare your horse. Choose a calm, safe location with secure footing. Clean and dry the hoof and the surrounding area.
  2. Position the boot while off. Fit it comfortably over the intended hoof area without excessive pressure. Avoid restricting circulation or natural movement.
  3. Switch on. Press the power button briefly to select the standard light mode; the indicator illuminates green.
  4. Choose a setting. Use the button sequence described below. Stay with your horse and monitor its comfort.
  5. Finish safely. The LEDs turn off automatically after 15 minutes. Switch off and remove the boot carefully before cleaning or storing.

Light settings

Continuous mode · Green indicator

Press the power button briefly to cycle through:

  1. Red and near-infrared LEDs together
  2. Red LEDs only
  3. Near-infrared LEDs only
  4. All LEDs off

Pulse mode · Blue indicator

With the device off, hold the power button for more than 3 seconds until the indicator turns blue. Press briefly to cycle through:

  1. Red and near-infrared LEDs pulsing together
  2. Red LEDs pulsing only
  3. Near-infrared LEDs pulsing only
  4. All LEDs off
Remember: 850 nm near-infrared light is not visible to the human eye. LEDs may look dark in near-infrared-only mode even though they are operating. Pulse mode is an optional operating mode; it is not proven to be more effective for a particular hoof condition.

Session duration and frequency

The ACTIVE Hoof boot has an automatic 15-minute timer.

The manufacturer brochure suggests 1–2 sessions daily for at least one week. This is general manufacturer guidance, not a veterinary treatment prescription. Introduce the boot with shorter supervised sessions as needed for your horse’s comfort.

For a suspected abscess, laminitis, infection, open wound, persistent lameness or swelling, consult your veterinarian or farrier as appropriate. Do not delay necessary hoof care.

Cleaning, care and storage

  • Switch off and disconnect the charging cable before cleaning.
  • Wipe the LED-facing/PVC area gently with a lightly damp cloth. Use a damp cloth or lint roller on fabric areas.
  • Do not immerse, machine wash, saturate the electrical components or use harsh cleaning products.
  • Allow the boot to air-dry completely before charging or storing.
  • Store loosely arranged in its drawstring bag, away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid sharp folds.
  • Store in a clean, dry location above 5°C (41°F).

Troubleshooting

The boot does not turn on
Charge the battery with the supplied USB cable, disconnect from charging, then try the power button again. Inspect the cable and port for damage.
The red LEDs appear to be off
The boot may be in near-infrared-only mode. Cycle to the combined or red-only setting. Near-infrared LEDs are not visible to the eye.
The LEDs switch off after 15 minutes
This is normal: the automatic session timer has finished.
The lights appear dim
Recharge the boot. If the issue continues, contact SV Equestrian.
My horse reacts to the boot
Switch off and remove it safely. Try a gradual introduction only if the horse is comfortable. Seek professional advice if pain or lameness is suspected.

Understanding the two wavelengths

660 nm red light is visible, while 850 nm near-infrared light is generally invisible to the human eye. These wavelengths are used in photobiomodulation devices, but evidence for specific equine hoof conditions is limited. The boot is not a substitute for veterinary treatment.
