EyeOn Equine Care
The EyeOn products are made of soft, breathable, non-slip, non-irritating, medical grade foam to actually promote the Natural Thermoregulation of heat.

How Did EyeOn Equine Come To Be?

EyeOn Technology is the result of life’s experiences. Says owner Doug Spatz, I grew up in a family traditionally immersed in the world of horses from our ancestors who immigrated from Ireland during the 1800's. Other personal interests included mineral collections, competitive athletics and much more. While on a university research project to study Disease Etiologies in Latin America during the summer of 1979, my background research revealed a great deal about alternative healing methods and indigenous beliefs that certain herbs and minerals had beneficial properties.

In 1995 while in South America I purchased an interesting mineral sample and studied its properties over time. I believed this one particular mineral might enhance blood flow once embedded into products such as hock boots. I then procured samples from around the world to test for the best qualities I desired. Having made this determination I continued my experiments by adding other minerals to enhance these properties. Eventually I was able to increase the output from 1x to over 20x. The Far Infrared output was so powerful that it caused many people to state they feel a tingling sensation the moment they tried any EyeOn product.

For over a decade we worked on developing products and testing them on me, family members, our pets, friends, their animals and so many others. The technology has prevented many horses from being put down, elderly dogs to live free of arthritic pain into old age in addition to many people who believed they'd need to rely on pain medication for the rest of their lives only to live pain free from this technology.

How Do I Know If My Horse Can Benefit From EyeOn Technology?

EyeOn Technology consists of natural crystals and minerals and doesn't contain any ceramics. Instead the compound embedded into the products transforms heat waves into far infrared waves plus produces a continuous flow of healthy air anions that serve as a natural antimicrobial and odor eater. The EyeOn products made with the breathable foam do not reflect or trap heat but permit Natural Thermoregulation.
This natural technology produces Far Infrared Rays within the same frequencies or wavelengths of animals and people.

* Far Infrared waves penetrate deeply – easily passing through the dermal layers
* Increases blood flow and oxygenation
* Musculoskeletal Improvements with Infrared heat – of particular relief to those with rheumatoid arthritis.
* Reduces pain, swelling and inflammation
* Relief of muscle spasms
* Accelerates the Natural Healing Process by increasing Nitric Oxide in the blood and plasma
How Does FIR (Far Infrared Rays) Technology Help With Pain Relief and Recovery From Injury?
When you apply the FIR technology, you see the healing results from the production of nitric oxide from the hemoglobin by the reaction of the photons of the FIR on the enzymes, which produce the nitric oxide gas. The immune cells get into the area and the circulation is increased. Pain is reduced, and the area now has the immune cells necessary for complete healing.

How Is FIR Superior To “Icing” My Horse?

1) The practice of icing down legs before and after a race should be considered as much of an out of date practice as bloodletting. Of course ice reduces swelling but it also impedes the natural healing rate and can cause more injuries rather than prevent them.

2) Any athlete, human or animal before a workout or a race needs to warm up muscles to get the circulation going. Muscles often become tight and if not warmed are more prone to injury. Muscles are elastic or stretchable, but there are limits to this. This limit is called the stretch reflex. Simply put, the stretch reflex is a muscle contraction within the muscle itself. When a muscle hasn't been properly prepared for strenuous exercise it can contract or tighten up, causing strains or tearing of the muscle fibers. Warming up causes blood vessels to dilate and allows for optimal elasticity of the muscles.

3) Strenuous exercise leads to microscopic tears in the muscle, which leads to inflammation and soreness, a process that is an important step in the muscle getting bigger and stronger. Muscles are made up of protein filaments that shorten, leading to a contraction. As the body repairs those microscopic tears, it builds new, healthy, and strong muscle tissue.

4) Icing down the legs goes against common sense! The best treatment is using Far Infrared Leg Wraps. Far Infrared heats evenly the inside and out to enhance blood flow and oxygenation. FIR reduces pain, inflammation and swelling plus accelerates the natural healing process. FIR treatment is the most advanced practice being used by professional and amateur athletes today

Is It True That, Unlike Our Competitors, EyeOn Equine Will NOT Cause Overheating?
YES! This is true for two reasons. First, the EyeOn compound doesn’t contain any ceramic material that reflects or traps heat.Second,the EyeOn Compression and Support Wraps are made with very soft, non-irritating, breathable foam that has a breathable, Velcro receptive, textile backing. The EyeOn compound is mixed into the foam solution before manufacturing. The far infrared properties will not wear out during the life of the product.

* The breathable foam products have been used as compression and support therapy systems for many years prior to the introduction of the EyeOn compound. These products were tested by certified, independent laboratories to ensure none of the chemicals or dyes used would cause any irritation to animals and people. Additionally, independent labs conducted skin contact tests by having people wear small product pieces for 28 days to against any adverse effects.

* Marly Coppens of The Netherlands - Student Animal Physiotherapy, BSc. Physiotherapy, Musculoskeletal Ultrasound and her team conducted a study to compare the skin temperature of the distal limb under a bandage or a tendon boot with that of a bare limb, at rest and after 20 minutes of lunging by use of sensors and thermography.

* Horses used a closed tendon boot made of neoprene attached and a polypropylene fleece with incorporated ceramic particles bandage that both enclosed the fetlock joint. After exercising with a bare leg the mean maximum temperature was 14ºC, with a bandage 25ºC and with tendon boot 21ºC.

* One of the main mechanisms of thermoregulation is heat loss from the body via convection from the surrounding air. Earlier research looked at the effect of hyperthermia on tendon cell death and found that after heating at 45ºC for 10 minutes’ tendon fibroblast cell survival percentage was 99%. Heating at 48ºC for 10 minutes decreased cell survival to 22%. Sdft core temperatures of 45ºC have been recorded during gallop, with tendon surface temperature reaching 40ºC.

Can I Really Leave The Wraps On All Day? Competitors Can't Offer This!
We have veterinarians using the wraps on race horses over night and replaced after training by noon. To date we have not had one trainer from the Americas or Europe inform us of any problems using the wraps for too long a period of time. The wraps are breathable so heat can’t be trapped. The Velcro is very strong and has stood up as hock wraps in stalls with saw dust bedding. Using the wraps for extended periods of time does require common sense. Wraps shouldn’t be too tight and of course during a heat wave with extreme temperatures one should take care. Otherwise the wraps can be used as long as any other breathable wrap.

Tissues normally produce infrared energy for warmth and tissue repair. Tissue production of infrared energy is associated with a variety of healing responses. At times, the infrared energy in tissues may require a boost to a higher level to ensure the fullest healing possible for tissue repair. Body tissues that need an infrared boost selectively absorb infrared rays. The tissue will only use the infrared rays in the areas where it is needed. After boosting a tissue's infrared energy, the remaining rays pass on harmlessly A phenomenon known as "resonant absorption."

What Conditions Are Helped By EyeOnEquine Therapy?

So, What Do Horse Owners Say About EyeOn Products and Their Results?

Dr. Frank Reilly of Equine Medical and Surgical Associates

My mare had been head-bobbing lame since July 11th and I was not having much success with anything. I received the leg wraps and hoof pads on August 11th and applied them the afternoon of August 12th. She was still noticeably lame the day I put them on her. By the next day she was much better and even trotted a few strides without much trouble. Before this she was hesitant to even walk. I attribute my mare's instant soundness to the Eyeon® material embedded in the wraps and the hoof pads. There is no other explanation. All I have to say is that I do believe that the EyeOn® products would be of great benefit to the equine community for overall healing and pain reduction. I knew I had to write this testimonial after using the products because of how well they worked. I think it is breakthrough technology!

Jenny, KS

The other horse, Brave, I was telling you about with the bad arthritis...his owner just called and said that he is wanting to run! They are so happy he is doing this much better...they are doing the happy dance. They said they also believe it is the EyeOn® wraps that have helped him improve so quickly! The husband said that he is entirely a brand new horse now just after four days! So you might be getting a separate testimonial from them as well! They actually considered putting this horse down.

Lynda C, NY— Help For Humans!

I took the thin Eye On® pad under my bed sheet. I slept on it and upon waking the following morning and as I got out of bed I felt no back pain. I didn't feel I was ninety years old. I even put it on my dog Fred one night. He has been suffering with arthritis for years. Everyone commented on how much better Fred was the next day, playing with other dogs like he did years ago!

Robert S, Wellington, FL— Helped Horse, Dog and Human!

Our jumper's leg started to blow up and fill with fluids after competitions. The vet scanned the horse with ultra-sound and said it wasn't a bowed tendon, just fluid and swelling. I've been using the EyeOn® pads and had very good experiences with them. I decided to try EyeOn® pads on the legs, first laying the pads right on the skin, then applying the sheet cotton and finally the wrap. I wrapped the leg just before noon and removed them the following morning around 7:30 The swelling was completely gone and I found no need to use any other medication. There was no sweating either. EyeOn worked on me, the dog and horse. I've even used EyeOn pads on my horses' backs to relieve pain. There is no other product that works as well as this!

Hannah C - Scotland/North Windham, Connecticut

My mom's boyfriend, Scott, was talking to your representative and checking you guys out. Scott is a farrier and has been so for almost 40 years. As you may know, a farrier's job isn't an easy one; it can wear down the body. This is the case for Scott. Along with other joint pain, being a farrier has taken a hard toll on his elbow, making him take further action to help it through a recent elbow surgery. Scott had this surgery a little prior to coming to the equine affaire, and had his arm in a sling. It's been a painful recovery which has hampered some of his capabilities. He decided to stop by to your booth to chat. After talking with you for a while, you were Very kind to give him one of your wraps to try. It has made a world of difference. Even during our venturing throughout the equine affaire Scott was surprised that his elbow was neither hot nor sweaty--a major plus. For days after and even now, Scott has been wearing the wrap on his elbow. He swears there is less swelling, less sweatiness than other wraps, and less pain. His doctor said his arm is healing very nicely, and said that if the wrap is working then to keep going with it.

Don’t Your Horses Deserve To Be Pain Free, Affordably--Without Risk Of Overheating?

I used the Eye On leg wraps on a standardbred with chronic front leg suspensory issues for the last 2 years--applied them direct on the skin from below the knee to the ankle, and then wrapped a quilt and polo around it to keep it in place. The wraps were left on all night and replaced after training by noon. After 48 hrs, the swelling in the front legs prior and after training was significantly reduced and on palpation, the tenderness seen was also reduced---the horse also trained better by day 7 and did go on to qualify and raced well 10 days later. The trainer also kept the horses legs wrapped on the trailer ride to the races with the EyeOn until warming up and after the races prior to loading up for home would reapply them--the horse continues to improve.

The Solution Section

How did EyeOn Equine Care come to be?

Owner Doug Spatz grew up in a horse family with Irish ancestry from the 1800s, with side interests in mineral collecting and competitive athletics. While on a 1979 university research project studying disease etiologies in Latin America, his background reading covered alternative healing methods and indigenous beliefs about herbs and minerals. In 1995 in South America, Doug bought an interesting mineral sample and studied it over time — believing it might enhance blood flow once embedded into products like hock boots. He sourced more mineral samples globally, refined the blend, and increased the Far Infrared output from 1× to over 20×. After a decade of testing on himself, family, friends, and their animals, EyeOn Equine Care was born.

What is Far Infrared technology and how does it help horses?

Per EyeOn, the embedded mineral compound transforms heat waves into Far Infrared (FIR) waves within the same wavelengths the body naturally uses. FIR penetrates deeply through dermal layers, increasing blood flow and oxygenation. The technology also produces a continuous flow of healthy air anions that act as a natural antimicrobial and odor eater. Per EyeOn, FIR boosts production of nitric oxide from hemoglobin via photon-enzyme reactions; immune cells reach the area, circulation increases, pain reduces, and the area has the immune cells it needs for healing.

Why does EyeOn say FIR is better than icing?

Per EyeOn, ice reduces swelling but also impedes the natural healing rate and can cause more injuries than it prevents. Before a workout or run, muscles need to warm up to get circulation going — cold muscles are tight, near the stretch reflex, and more prone to strain or fiber tear. After strenuous exercise, microscopic muscle tears actually drive growth and strengthening; reducing the inflammation prematurely with ice interrupts that process. EyeOn FIR leg wraps heat the limb evenly inside and out to enhance blood flow and oxygenation, reduce inflammation, and speed natural healing — what EyeOn describes as the most advanced practice in pro and amateur athletes today.

Is overheating a risk with these wraps?

No, per EyeOn — and this is one of the company's main differentiation points vs. ceramic-based competitors. Two reasons: (1) the EyeOn compound contains no ceramic material, so it doesn't reflect or trap heat. (2) The wraps are made of soft, non-irritating, breathable foam with a Velcro-receptive textile backing — the foam permits natural thermoregulation. EyeOn cites a Marly Coppens (Netherlands, BSc Physiotherapy) thermography study that compared bare-leg, bandaged-leg, and tendon-boot temperatures after 20 minutes of lunging — bare leg was 14°C max, ceramic-incorporated bandage was 25°C, neoprene tendon boot 21°C. EyeOn also references SDFT-core temperatures of 45°C during gallop, with research showing tendon fibroblast cell survival drops sharply between 45°C (99% survival) and 48°C (22% survival).

Can I leave the wraps on overnight?

Yes — and this is unusual for the category. EyeOn reports veterinarians using the wraps on race horses overnight, then replacing them after training by noon. To date, no trainer in the Americas or Europe has reported any problems from extended-wear use. The wraps are breathable so heat can't be trapped, and the Velcro is strong enough to hold up as hock wraps in stalls with sawdust bedding. Common-sense caveats apply: don't wrap too tight, and use care during heat waves with extreme temperatures.

What conditions does EyeOn help with?

Per EyeOn, FIR therapy benefits any animal with swelling, inflammation, or pain. Specific conditions where the company has seen results include: suspensory ligament issues, lameness, swelling, arthritis, bowed tendons, tendinitis, laminitis, lymphedema, abscesses, sores, rain rot, and odor. The wraps have also halved fracture-healing time on people, and the company reports diabetic patients with chronic non-healing open sores resolving in two weeks on EyeOn pads. Tissues that need an FIR boost selectively absorb the rays — what EyeOn describes as "resonant absorption" — so unused energy passes harmlessly.

What products are in the EyeOn line, including the soap?

The line: Leg Wraps (the core product), Hoof Savers, Foam Pads, and Handmade Soap. The handmade EyeOn® Soap is only made in the USA with the EyeOn Technology compound and is safe for both humans and animals — leveraging the same antimicrobial-anion + far-infrared properties that have been used to address acne, dermatitis, age spots, and wrinkles. Per source: Single 5 oz bar $9.85. Pricing as quoted is subject to change due to economic factors — confirm current pricing with EyeOn directly. EyeOn states their wrap pricing is roughly half that of ceramic competitors.

What do veterinarians and owners say?

Dr. Frank Reilly, Equine Medical and Surgical Associates: used EyeOn leg wraps on a standardbred with chronic front-leg suspensory issues — "After 48 hrs, the swelling in the front legs prior and after training was significantly reduced... the horse also trained better by day 7 and did go on to qualify and raced well 10 days later." Jenny (KS): head-bobbing lame mare from July 11 — applied wraps and hoof pads August 12 — "By the next day she was much better and even trotted a few strides without much trouble." Jenny also reports a horse named Brave with bad arthritis whose owners had considered putting him down: "He is entirely a brand new horse now just after four days." Lynda C. (NY): slept on a thin EyeOn pad and woke pain-free; her dog Fred (chronic arthritis) "playing with other dogs like he did years ago." Robert S. (Wellington, FL): jumper's leg fluid swelling resolved overnight on EyeOn pads — used the same pads on himself and his dog. Hannah C. (Scotland / North Windham, CT): her mom's boyfriend Scott, a 40-year farrier, post-elbow-surgery — wrap reduced swelling, sweatiness, and pain through equine-affaire venturing.
