LED by CHEVAL of Sweden
Red and infrared light. Five to ten minutes a day.
LED treatment system for horses, made in Sweden for daily use in the stable.
Why it is built this way
Wavelengths
Four wavelengths, no blue light
Every system carries 660/670, 730, 810, and 850 nm. Red light works at the surface while the infrared light works deeper.
Construction
Nothing between the light and the horse's coat
The LEDs sit through cut-outs in the fabric. Nothing covers the light, so the light energy can reach the horse's coat directly.
Routine
Five to ten minutes, daily
A typical session lasts five to ten minutes per area. The system fits the routine of the stable.
Every system is made in Uddevalla, Sweden. The warranty is four years worldwide, on identical terms. We service systems in-house in Sweden.

Built for life in the stable
Life around horses is rarely controlled. Equipment gets dusty, wet and sometimes stepped on. LED by CHEVAL systems are built with this reality in mind — designed for daily use around horses, where durability matters just as much as performance. That's a horse standing on it. Every system is built to take it.
Performance
Prepare the body before the work begins
Used before training, LED treatment works on the systems a horse relies on to move well. Light at specific wavelengths reaches tissue below the surface, where it influences circulation and cellular activity. Five to ten minutes, before you tack up.
Mobility and suppleness
Helps muscle relax and joints move more freely, so the horse moves well from the first steps of the warm-up.
Comfort and focus
A horse that is comfortable settles into work more readily. Treatment before a session removes one of the reasons a horse might be distracted, resistant, or slow to come through.
Energy and endurance
Light stimulates activity in the mitochondria, where cells produce ATP — the fuel muscles use to work. More available energy carries a horse further into a session.
Circulation and oxygenation
Better blood flow means more oxygen and nutrients reaching working muscle, and faster clearing of the by-products of exertion.
Recovery
Recovery is part of the work
Used after training, LED treatment goes to work during the hours when repair is most active. Five to ten minutes while you finish up in the stable, on the days that ask the most of the horse.
Inflammatory response
Inflammation is how tissue repairs itself. LED treatment helps the body regulate that response. Swelling and discomfort in the days after hard work become easier to manage.
Muscle soreness
Circulation improves in worked muscle and cellular repair picks up. The stiffness that follows a demanding session is less pronounced.
Cumulative load
Most problems build slowly. Consistent recovery keeps the body level with the work being asked of it.
Travel and competition days
A long journey and a day away ask as much of the body as the work itself. A session on the return, or in the lorry park before the horse goes back on the box, fits into the day without adding to it.
Rehabilitation
Alongside veterinary care
LED treatment is a non-invasive addition to an equine rehabilitation plan — never a replacement for one. It works best as part of a programme designed with your vet, holding tissue repair steady between appointments and through the long, quiet middle of a rehab.
Tendon and ligament injuries
Tendon injuries heal slowly, and the risk of re-injury stays high well after a horse looks sound. LED treatment stimulates fibroblast activity and drives collagen production, giving repair tissue a more organised structure. That structure determines how the tendon holds up once load returns. A common approach is five to ten minutes, two to three times daily through the healing phase, then once daily as the horse comes back into work.
Joint inflammation
Improves circulation around the joint capsule and the soft tissue surrounding it. Useful through an acute flare-up, and equally useful as long-term maintenance on a joint you already know about.
Muscle injuries
Strains and tears need sustained circulation to the affected area. Short daily treatments feed the repair without adding load. They can begin in the first days of box rest.
Wounds and incisions
Fibroblast activity and circulation at the wound margin both improve, and closure tends to be cleaner. Treat around an open or contaminated wound rather than directly on it, unless your vet advises otherwise.
Swelling and oedema
Fluid gathers after injury, surgery, or a long spell of box rest, and improved local circulation helps move it. Runs alongside cold therapy and bandaging as your vet directs.
Hoof conditions
Applied at the coronary band and pastern, LED treatment reaches the tissue that supplies the hoof. Most relevant to the vascular and soft-tissue side of hoof problems — the capsule itself blocks light.

Wavelengths
Four wavelengths, four depths.
Light waves carry energy. Cells absorb that energy so the body works more effectively.
Each LED by CHEVAL system carries two types of LED strips, alternating. One emits red at 660/670 and 730 nm. The other emits infrared at 810 and 850 nm. Infrared light is not visible to the eye, even though it works at the greatest depth.
660 / 670 nm · 1–2 cm
Wound healing, tissue repair, circulation, reduced inflammation.
730 nm · 2–3 cm
Reduces inflammation, relieves pain, supports collagen and tissue regeneration.
810 nm — infrared · 3–4 cm
Reaches deeper muscles, tendons, and joints. Improves oxygenation.
850 nm — infrared · 4–5 cm
Pain relief, circulation and fluid balance, swelling reduction, deep tissue repair.
Measured at 1 cm with a TES 1333 irradiance meter
Buyer's guide
What to look for in an LED system.
Four questions worth asking. Here are our answers.
01
Who builds it, and who services it?
We build them ourselves, so we can service them ourselves. Built and serviced in our own workshop in Uddevalla, Sweden — a repair is a conversation with the person who assembled it. Four-year warranty, worldwide, on the same conditions.
02
How much light does it deliver, and at which wavelengths?
Every figure is published above: lamps, diodes, total output and treatment area for all five systems.
03
How well does it survive a stable?
Reinforced for real use, including being stepped on. Easy to clean — the outer cover comes off and goes in the machine.
04
Can you start without buying?
Yes. Rent with no deposit, no minimum period and no binding commitment, within the EU.
You don't have to buy to begin.
Up to three months of rent comes off the purchase price. Try it on your own horse, then decide.
01
Choose a system and start
No deposit, on identical terms everywhere in the EU.
02
Keep it as long as it is useful
No minimum period and no binding commitment. Stop when the work is done.
03
Own it, and keep the rent
Up to three months of rent is credited toward the purchase price of your system.
Questions, answered plainly.
Will my horse tolerate it?
Most horses settle quickly. Nothing presses or tightens beyond the cover’s Velcro straps, and the system rests on the coat rather than gripping it. A horse that is wary of new rugs is usually best introduced to it switched off first.
How soon might I notice anything?
Every horse and every condition differs, so we do not give a timeline. During a session, owners watch the horse itself: licking and chewing, yawning, the head lowering, the ears relaxing.
Will it fit my horse?
One size, adjusted with the cover’s Velcro straps. Unsure? Send us your horse’s measurements and we will tell you.
Is the battery included?
Yes. Every system comes with its battery, and it charges overnight. There is nothing further to buy to start using it.
Is it safe for me to use myself?
Yes. The light is spread across many LEDs rather than concentrated into a beam, so there is no focused energy to control and no eye protection is needed for you or the horse. That is the practical difference from laser therapy, which is why laser is done by a professional and this belongs in your stable.
How do I keep it clean?
The outer cover unfastens from the LED straps and goes in the washing machine at 40 °C.
What if it does not suit us?
Start with rental rather than a purchase: no deposit, no minimum period, no binding commitment, anywhere in the EU. Stop whenever you choose. If you decide to keep the system, up to three months of rent is credited toward the purchase price.
Do you ship to my country?
We offer free delivery inside the EU, dispatched in one to three business days. The four-year warranty applies worldwide, on the same conditions.
