Now in a comfort dimpled version, Plughz® Powered By Gladiator Equine — the next generation in ear plug technology — incorporate our patented SemiCera® technology to enhance relaxation and reduce behavioral issues in horses.

Horses have large rigid muscles, but their sensory feedback is greater than in humans. When placed in the ears, Plughz® use ambient heat from the animal to passively activate the embedded far-infrared ceramics. The subsequent emitted photons stimulate the cerebellum, which in turn affects the body-to-brain messaging. This increases the inhibitory response, calming the proprioceptive neck muscles where they connect to the skull. The more relaxed the horse is, the greater compliance to commands the owner will see.

The coated version is covered in a thin layer of silicone which adds durability.
