by US Equestrian Communications Department | Jul 23, 2025, 9:00 AM

Lexington, Ky. – US Equestrian is proud to announce a new partnership with EQ Veterinary as an Official Sponsor and Official Supplier of US Equestrian Team Veterinarians.

EQ Veterinary is a therapeutic ultrasound technology used for the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions in horses. The low-frequency ultrasound creates both acoustic and thermal effects, reaching deep into tissues and producing a targeted cavitation, acoustic streaming, mechanical vibration, and heat that can address injuries impacting muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints, and bones. This patented technology accelerates healing while gently massaging muscles, tendons, and ligaments without causing any discomfort or pain to the horse.

The EQ Veterinary team provides licensed veterinarians and physiotherapists with an innovative app that works alongside the ultrasound device. The app allows users to control therapy sessions with precision and ease, offering clear visuals and functionality. With this tool, equine care teams can confidently administer targeted treatments and monitor progress effectively.

As part of the new partnership, EQ Veterinary will equip US Equestrian with two complete EQ Pro Therapy units. Each unit includes a generator, six transducers, two batteries with a charger, a power cord, and a trolley case.

“Making way for new innovation and science-driven technologies in our sport is essential,” said Bill Moroney, Chief Executive Officer of US Equestrian. “We are always learning and adapting our understanding to support our equine athletes, and this partnership will provide a valuable resource for our team veterinarians.”

“EQ Veterinary is proud to partner with the United States Equestrian Federation as the Official Ultrasound Therapy Supplier for the U.S. Equestrian Team Veterinarians,” said Lorenzo Da Madice, President of EQ Veterinary. “This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to delivering top-tier care for sport horses, whether for pre-competition warm-ups, recovery from soft tissue injuries, or maintaining peak performance through ongoing care and maintenance. EQ Pro Therapy offers a non-invasive, effective solution trusted by veterinary professionals worldwide. Together with USEF, we are dedicated to supporting equine athletes at every stage of their training and competition with the EQ Pro Therapy device, our patented low-frequency therapeutic ultrasound technology.”

San Luis Obispo, California – Vetel Diagnostics and the Vetel group of companies continue their evolution in providing the best physical therapy modalities for treating equine injuries. Partnering with EQ Veterinary, Vetel now offers low-frequency therapeutic ultrasound devices specifically designed to treat equine athletes.

Vetel Diagnostics has been committed to offering the veterinary industry the most efficient and precise equipment since 1999. Providing a full range of diagnostic modalities including top-rated Digital Radiography systems, Vetel is also in the business of offering devices to treat the injuries its imaging modalities help diagnose. The EQ Veterinary low-frequency therapeutic ultrasound device has now become a valuable addition to Vetel’s available selection of equine therapeutic options.

EQ Veterinary is an influential contributor to the market of equine therapeutic approaches. Their six different available longwave ultrasound transducers modulate a wide range of deep thermal and intense acoustic effects. They also create mechanical vibration in body tissues. These three forces are painless to the horse and contribute to the faster recovery of equine muscle, tendon, ligament, joint, and bone injuries. Low-frequency ultrasound therapy enhances the efficacy of other veterinary treatments when used in conjunction by accelerating cellular metabolic and enzymatic activity within tissues. This makes the EQultrasound an important asset in any equine veterinary practitioner’s therapeutic toolbox.

Dr. James Waldsmith, president of Vetel, is enthusiastic to be offering the highly regarded EQultrasound device. “The EQultrasound therapy system is a much-needed new modality to add to the therapy solutions we are able to offer.” He goes onto say, “It’s unique design and patented technology represents a much more effective ultrasound treatment device when compared to the technology previously available. The EQ veterinary device is one more drug-free modality available to horse owners and veterinary practitioners alike to aid in the treatment of pain and inflammation. We are very pleased to be able to offer it as part of our therapeutic product line.”

The CEO of EQ Veterinary, Lorenzo Da Madice, comments that he finds the recent partnership with Vetel of great value. “Vetel Diagnostics is a leader in the veterinary market, well known for the quality of their diagnostic devices as well as for their great customer support. EQ Veterinary is extremely pleased to announce this partnership! We believe our patented low-frequency ultrasound device is a perfect fit with Vetel’s cutting edge range of products so that practitioners can source from the same catalog both diagnostic and therapeutic equipment.”

EQ Veterinary is the original provider of an effective and transformative form of equine ultrasound therapy that accelerates the healing process of recovering body tissue. Providing results in both acute and chronic conditions, the EQultrasound presents a painless method of deep tissue cellular recovery that when used adjunct with other therapy, enhances their regenerative effects.

EQ Pro Therapy can significantly accelerate open wound healing. In fact the stable cavitation and acoustic streaming generated by EQultrasound pulsed-emission transducers (Blue, Green, Grey and White) play a significant role in closing open wounds.

Fibroblasts respond to therapeutic ultrasound with an increased protein synthesis, stimulating and enhancing the normal healing process.

The normal acute inflammatory response occurs after the initial clotting response with vasodilation and invasion of white blood cells to the area which initiated repair. Within the white blood cells are mast cells which undergo degranulation and release histamine and other chemical mediators to form a coagulated gel in the injured area.

When ultrasound is applied in this phase, it enhances the degranulation of mast cells resulting in the release of histamine and other mediators that attract fibroblasts and endothelial cells to the injured area. This will later result in the formation of collagen-containing vascular granulation tissue.

Early intervention with ultrasound should result in an accelerated acute inflammatory phase, moving to a quicker entry into the proliferative phase and improving comfort of the patient.

Indications for EQ Pro Therapy open wound healing:

• IMPORTANT: make sure you clean the wound thoroughly and you open a new / sealed sterilized gel container in order to minimize the risk of infections.
• use the White Transducer for smaller wounds or the Blue Transducer for larger wounds, applied directly on the wound. Make sure there is plenty of gel and that you do not apply too much pressure on the wound.
• EQultrasound Pro power output should be set between 30% and 40%
• treatment time should be 7-10 minutes (but this varies depending on the total area of the wound).
• one treatment should be enough, but if necessary repeat treatment the following day.
