Nature’s light, maximizing health, performance and breeding efficiency.

We at Taylor Made used the Equilume Light Masks on over 50 barren and maiden mares this season (2016) to bring forward seasonal reproductive activity. We found that the light masks worked just as well as conventional stable lighting at ensuring early cyclicity. In addition we believe that there are significant advantages to extended turn-out for mares that Equilume facilitates.

"I initially used the Equilume Light Mask on "The Job is Right" during the darkest days of winter as I felt the horse just wasn't thriving. A month later he started to look and feel a lot better in himself and was enjoying his work more. I also used a mask on a barren mare who shortly afterwards started cycling and went in foal on her first cover."

Micheal Hourigan, Racehorse Trainer

We used the Equilume Light Masks last season on a selection of our in-foal mares with a history of long gestation lengths. We found that the masks worked to good effect and resulted in a significant reduction in gestation lengths compared to the same mare's gestations last year. We intend to use them again.

“I loved having​ the light mask this past winter for my mare. It worked SO well. She is an older mare, and absolutely hates being stalled. So I had no choice than to either wait til summer to start breeding her, or use the light mask. I took a chance and used the light mask. It worked like a charm! She started cycling early (March), kept her weight on beautifully, and most importantly, she was HAPPY to be outside. The mask held up great! I never had any issues with her rubbing it off, or it falling apart, etc. I would love to have another one!"

The very best device I have seen in 25years of reproductive practice, second only to the introduction of the ultrasound. It will get them bred early.

"We used the Equilume Light Masks last year with great success. Our dry mares were all cycling and covered early, while reducing our management costs significantly. Our pregnant mares that wore the masks foaled on time with excellent post-foaling fertility, especially mares that had previously struggled to cycle with foal at foot. We would highly recommend Equilume to farms that want to reduce costs and improve breeding efficiency."

Mike Fleming, Broadwater Thoroughbreds.

"My two barren mares that wore masks since november both cycled, were bred, and got in foal just as I had hoped. I bred the first one on feb 14th and the second on feb 20th. Figuring normal gestation of 11 months 10 days, my first two mares to foal were right on target. Thats almost perfect in my opinion. Using the masks have been a life changer. I love them! They have given me confidence in the future."

"We used the Equilume Light Masks last season on a selection of our in-foal mares with a history of long gestation lengths. We found that the masks worked to good effect and resulted in a significant reduction in gestation lengths compared to the 2013 gestations in the same mares. We felt the light masks were effective at reducing prolonged gestations in pregnant mares and intend to use them again."

Equilume is the best lighting program I have ever experienced! We used it on 100% of our mares (including Recipient mares). My mares were cycling better than ever before on February 1st. I always said that mares that lived outside had less uterine fluid, this was the proof! This year my mares were outside grazing and playing with their buddies 16 more hours a day than they had in the past. My old mares this year had minimal problems with poor uterine clearance and urine pooling. I have no doubt that is because of being outside 24/7.

"I was delighted with the benefits we gained from our first season using the Equilume Light Masks in 2013. Aside from the obvious efficiencies of not having to box our mares under lights, our barren and maidens had strong heats in early September with excellent fertility. Without any hesitation, we will be using the light masks again next season."
