PEMF Blanket for Horses: MagPro Plus vs ProSeries 3-in-1

If you've been reading up on recovery gear, you've probably landed on two questions at once: does a PEMF blanket actually earn its keep, and if you're going to buy one, which one? We covered the first question in depth in our Equine PEMF Therapy: A Straight-Talk Buyer's Guide, and the short version is worth repeating here: the research on PEMF is promising but still limited, and nobody honest is going to tell you a blanket fixes a diagnosed injury. What a PEMF blanket does well is fit into a routine — before work to loosen up, after work to help a horse settle. Think of it as a tool for general comfort and recovery support, not a treatment.

This piece is about the second question. We carry two Sport Innovations blankets, and they're built for genuinely different buyers. Here's how to tell which one is yours.

The short answer

  • MagPro Plus PEMF Blanket — $5,100. PEMF plus heat. This is the entry point. If you want a full-body blanket without paying for features you won't use, start here.
  • ProSeries 3-in-1 PEMF Blanket — $7,800. PEMF plus massage plus heat. This is the workhorse. If the blanket is going to get used most days across multiple horses, the extra spend usually pencils out.

Both are full-coverage blankets. Both use the same core PEMF technology. The gap between them is the massage layer and the daily workload each is built to handle.

What "PEMF plus heat" gets you: the MagPro Plus

The MagPro Plus is a straightforward, honest piece of gear. You get pulsed electromagnetic field coils across the body panels and a heat element. That's the combination a lot of owners actually want.

Heat is the part people underrate. On a cold morning, warming up the big muscle groups over the back and hindquarters before you saddle is something horsemen have done with coolers and quarter sheets for a hundred years. The MagPro Plus does it with an even, controllable warmth, and pairs it with the PEMF cycle running underneath. For a one- or two-horse owner who wants a comfortable pre-ride warm-up and a way to help a horse wind down afterward, this is often all the blanket you need.

Who the MagPro Plus is for:

  • One or two horses, not a full string
  • A rider who wants warm-up and general recovery support without the top-tier price
  • Someone stepping into PEMF for the first time who wants to see how it fits their routine before committing more
  • Barns where the blanket lives with one horse rather than moving between many

At $5,100 it's a real investment, and we won't pretend otherwise. But it's the least expensive way into a full-body Sport Innovations blanket, and it does the two things most owners are actually after.

What the massage layer adds: the ProSeries 3-in-1

The ProSeries 3-in-1 keeps the PEMF and the heat, then adds a massage function — a mechanical, rolling stimulation on top of the electromagnetic and thermal work. That's the "3-in-1": PEMF, massage, heat, in one blanket.

Does the massage layer matter? For some horses and some programs, yes. Massage targets the muscular side of recovery in a way that feels different from PEMF alone, and horses that are worked hard and often — reiners in heavy training, rodeo stock going down the road most weekends, performance horses on a real schedule — tend to be the ones whose owners value having all three tools in a single blanket rather than reaching for separate equipment.

The other reason people choose the ProSeries is durability under load. If a blanket is going on a different horse every day, or running multiple cycles across a barn, the workhorse is built for that kind of use. You're not just paying for the massage feature; you're paying for the piece that's meant to be the daily driver.

Who the ProSeries 3-in-1 is for:

  • Multiple horses, or a single horse in heavy, consistent work
  • Trainers and performance barns where the blanket earns its keep most days of the week
  • Owners who want the massage layer alongside PEMF and heat instead of buying separate massage gear
  • Anyone who's already decided PEMF belongs in the routine and wants the top of the line

How to actually choose

Skip the spec sheet for a second and answer three questions.

How many horses, and how often? One or two horses, a few sessions a week: the MagPro Plus is probably the right call. A string, or one horse in serious training used almost daily: lean toward the ProSeries.

Do you want the massage function? This is the honest dividing line. If the massage layer isn't something you'll use, you shouldn't pay $2,700 more for it. If it is — if you'd otherwise be looking at separate massage equipment — the ProSeries consolidates that into one blanket.

Where are you in your PEMF journey? New to it and not certain how it fits your program? There's nothing wrong with starting on the MagPro Plus, building the habit, and deciding later. The blanket that gets used beats the blanket that impresses.

One thing that applies to both: a full-body blanket is the right tool when you want general, whole-horse coverage. When the issue is one specific area — a hind leg, a hock, the feet — a targeted wrap is often the smarter and far less expensive choice. We break that down in our guide to PEMF leg and hock wraps. Plenty of barns run a blanket for general use and keep a wrap or two for spot work.

A word on expectations

We'll say it the same way we say it everywhere on this site: PEMF is a wellness and recovery-support tool, not veterinary medicine. The evidence behind it is encouraging but still thin, and neither of these blankets is a treatment for a diagnosed condition. If your horse is lame, sore in a way that isn't resolving, or coming back from an injury, your vet comes first — every time. PEMF fits around good horsemanship and good veterinary care. It doesn't replace either.

If that framing sounds right to you, both of these blankets are built by the same people, backed by the same spare parts and support, and carried here because we stand behind the line.
