The Equi-Stim Treatment System was designed by Gary DesRouches, a 64-year-old Canadian horse veteran. It was all started with a search for a long-term solution to a bowed tendon on a yearling he purchased, which occurred during training. The Tens unit was first used for pain management (with limited success) followed by laser, ultrasound, magnets and others with mild short term results or no results at all.

About Equi-Stim…
The Equi-Stim Treatment System was designed by Gary DesRouches, a 64-year-old Canadian horse veteran. It was all started with a search for a long-term solution to a bowed tendon on a yearling he purchased, which occurred during training. The Tens unit was first used for pain management (with limited success) followed by laser, ultrasound, magnets and others with mild short term results or no results at all. The break through came when he tried a cell stimulator used by the NBA Grizzles basketball team. The basis was a fluctuation micro-current system using wires, jell and rubber pads. With having good results, the system was refined to find the right combination of frequencies and wave lengths. Then he incorporated the stimulation of ting points and established a successful protocols that are being used today.

How Did Mike Get Involved With Equi-Stim?
My story is similar to the developer of the Equi-Stim Treatment System, I was searching for something that would maintain and rehabilitate my horses. Especially something to help with suspensories, tendons, joints, sore feet, etc. The System does all that, but what I quickly found out is utilizing the ting points associated with those injuries the results were everything I hoped they'd be. I was so pleased and completely amazed at the results that I began treating horses full time.

What is Equi-Stim Treatment System And What Does It Do?
Equi-Stim Treatment System is a comprehensive, easy to use micro current system, The System is so affective because it works with the body at a cellular level. The movement of metabolic waste from the cells and the reenergizing of the cells results in a drastic reduction in inflammation and an accelerated healing response.

What exactly is the Equi-Stim Leg Saver?

The Equi-Stim Leg Saver is a holistic, non-invasive electro-therapy unit built to treat lameness, bowed tendons, arthritis, infection and a long list of other equine health issues. Its maker calls it "the most successful Holistic system for addressing lameness, bowed tendon, and other health issues for your horse." Rather than masking pain, the system is designed to attack inflammation at the cellular level so the tissue underneath can begin to heal.

Who designed the Leg Saver?

The system was created by Gary G. DesRoches, a Canadian horseman and thoroughbred-industry veteran with decades of hands-on experience at the track. Development began in 1998 with a single proof-of-concept unit born out of DesRoches' own search for a lasting answer to a bowed tendon, after a Tens unit, laser, ultrasound and magnets all delivered only mild, short-term relief. By 2000 the device was being sold to local stables, and it has since grown into a worldwide therapy program backed by Gary and his team.

How does Ting Point Electro Therapy work?

The Leg Saver uses what the company calls "Ting Point Electro Therapy, a holistic, multi-frequency method to treat the area of injury" by traveling through the body's own electrical pathways. Drawing on traditional Chinese medicine, it sends current through acupoints that act as entry points along the body's healing meridians. A proprietary anti-viral and anti-bacterial waveform stimulates the muscles surrounding an injury, disease or infection to drive oxygen-rich blood flow into the area, which removes inflammation and reduces pain through the release of endorphins.

What does the Leg Saver treat?

Owners report using it on an unusually wide range of conditions: arthritis, muscle soreness, shoulder pain, azoturia (tying-up), lung bleeding, sacroiliac issues, osselets, check ligaments, suspensory injuries, colic, open wounds, navicular and more, along with immune stimulation against bacterial and viral infection. The published benefits are removing inflammation and swelling, stimulating circulation, reducing acute and chronic pain, increasing range of motion, and enhancing performance and stamina. It is promoted as a non-invasive, non-toxic tool that supports general health and competitive condition.

What is included and how is it powered?

The Equi-Stim Leg Saver runs on a rechargeable battery and ships with a 12v 500 milliamp adapter. A single charge lasts roughly 40 to 60 hours of use, and the maker recommends recharging every three days during active treatment. The battery and power pack are manufactured in Canada, reflecting the unit's Canadian origins.

What is the Equi-Stim Leg Saver?
It is a holistic, non-invasive equine electro-therapy unit designed to kill infection, treat lameness, and ease arthritis in horses by attacking inflammation at the cellular level. The maker describes it as the most successful holistic system for addressing lameness, bowed tendon, and other health issues. Rather than only managing symptoms, it aims to restore healthy blood flow so injured tissue can heal.
Who invented the Equi-Stim Leg Saver?
It was designed by Gary G. DesRoches, a Canadian horseman and longtime thoroughbred-industry veteran. He developed it after his own search for a lasting fix for a bowed tendon, having tried TENS, laser, ultrasound, and magnets with only mild, short-term results. Development began in 1998 with a single proof-of-concept unit, and sales to local stables started around 2000.
How does the Leg Saver actually work?
It uses Ting Point Electro Therapy, a holistic multi-frequency method that travels through the body's own electrical pathways. Drawing on traditional Chinese medicine, it delivers current through acupoints that act as entry points along the body's healing meridians. A proprietary anti-viral and anti-bacterial waveform stimulates the muscles around an injury to increase oxygen-rich blood flow and trigger endorphin release.
Why is removing inflammation so important for a bowed tendon?
According to the company, you cannot properly heal a tendon until the inflammation is removed, and the sooner inflammation is cleared, the sooner the tendon begins healing. The Leg Saver is built to accelerate that process by driving fresh, oxygen-rich blood into the injured area. Faster removal of inflammation is presented as the key to quicker, more complete recovery.
What conditions can the Leg Saver be used on?
Owners report using it for arthritis, muscle soreness, shoulder pain, azoturia (tying-up), lung bleeding, sacroiliac issues, osselets, check ligaments, suspensory injuries, colic, open wounds, and navicular. It is also used for immune stimulation against bacterial and viral infections. Its stated benefits include removing swelling, stimulating circulation, reducing pain, increasing range of motion, and improving performance and stamina.

The Equi-Stim Leg Saver is listed at $2,499.00 on the company's online store. Inventory periodically sells out, so availability can vary. Buyers are encouraged to contact the company directly through the website to confirm current stock and pricing.

It is sold directly through the company's official website at equi-stimlegsaver.com. The site includes a contact form for questions about purchasing, treatment programs, and becoming a representative. The same store also offers a companion Cold Level Laser product.
How is the unit powered and how long does a charge last?
The Leg Saver runs on a rechargeable battery and includes a 12v 500 milliamp adapter. A single charge provides roughly 40 to 60 hours of use. The company recommends recharging every three days during an active treatment routine.
Where is the Equi-Stim Leg Saver made?
The unit reflects its Canadian origins, with the battery and power pack manufactured in Canada. Its inventor, Gary G. DesRoches, is a Canadian horseman who built the system from his own track experience. The company operates and ships from its Canadian base.
Is the Leg Saver safe and non-invasive?
Yes. The company describes it as a non-invasive, non-toxic therapy that promotes general health and performance. Because it works through the body's own electrical pathways using gentle stimulation rather than drugs or surgery, owners use it as a drug-free recovery and maintenance tool. One testimonial calls it non-invasive, non-toxic, and able to promote general health and performance like nothing else.
Can the Leg Saver help with lactic acid buildup and recovery?
The company says it does. Their materials describe applying a safe electrical current that travels up the tail to the spinal cord, stimulating the acupoint linked to lactic acid release. When the currents meet, the company claims they help dissolve and release lactic acid toxins, promoting faster muscle recovery and a more natural movement pattern. They suggest regular use may support healthy joint function and extend the working life of performance horses.
What do customers say about the Leg Saver?
Testimonials are strongly positive. Justa Turner writes that she has treated everything from body soreness, navicular, torn hamstrings, EPM, open wounds, and suspensory injuries, adding 'I love my Leg Saver and so do my clients.' Jamie Stryker says it is the only therapy device in the stable they own multiple units of because 'it simply works the best.'
Has the Leg Saver helped competitive horses?
Yes, according to professional users. Barrel racer Jean Winters says, 'I run barrels professionally and depend on this machine to keep my horse in top condition. I recently competed at the Calgary Stampede and won the $100,000 dollar check.' Peter Bowen Racing Stables notes the technology became invaluable when their local sports therapist moved away.
Can the Leg Saver support a horse's immune system?
The company markets immune stimulation as one of its uses, and at least one owner reports success in a serious case. Janine Evans writes, 'I saved a horse with African Horse Sickness using the immune program as per the manual.' The system ships with a manual that outlines an immune-support program in addition to injury protocols.
What is the Cold Level Laser that the company also sells?
The Cold Level Laser (QRI laser) is a companion product that combines sound, light, and frequencies to calm and repair the nervous system. It is applied to specific acupuncture points to address behavioral issues such as excessive spookiness, bolting, and rearing tied to past trauma. The company says light increases ATP in the cells for energy while sound carries that information through the body.
Is the Leg Saver a replacement for veterinary care?
It is marketed as a holistic, complementary therapy tool that owners and therapists use alongside their normal horse care. Many of its physiological claims are based on traditional Chinese medicine principles and the company's own experience rather than independent clinical trials. Owners with a lame, injured, or sick horse should still consult their veterinarian for diagnosis and an overall treatment plan.
