Quick answer

The VanHorn Equine Red Light Hock Wrap is a targeted LED wrap shaped to follow the hock area rather than sit flat over the joint. It uses 660, 850, and 940 nm wavelengths, has adjustable fit, and includes multiple intensity and pulse settings. It is sold individually and fits either side.

VanHorn 940nm Red Light Hock Wrap

Hocks are awkward. That sounds obvious, but it is exactly why I didn’t want to slap a flat light pad on one and pretend that counted as good design. I wanted a wrap that actually followed the joint, stayed adjustable, and used the 660 + 850 + 940 nm wavelength combination I intentionally built into the rest of the line.

Product Specifications

• Sold as one hock wrap
• No left/right difference
• 660 + 850 + 940 nm wavelength combination
• Adjustable wrap design for the hock area
• Multiple intensity settings and pulse modes
• Includes the removable magnetic charging adapter designed to help protect the charging port from dirt and debris

Why 660 + 850 + 940 nm?

I looked at the common 660/850/850 setup and had the same thought I have with a lot of products: why use one of three emitters to repeat the exact same wavelength? I kept 660 and 850 because they each have a reason to be there, then used the third channel for 940 nm. That gives each LED package three distinct wavelength bands instead of two.

I’m not interested in spec-sheet fluff. If I add something to a product, I want a technical reason for it to be there. 660 + 850 + 940 was a deliberate engineering choice, not a copied factory default.

850 nm and 940 nm are outside the visible spectrum, so it is normal for those LEDs not to appear bright red. The 940 nm output is invisible to the naked eye.

940 nm: What Does the Research Show?

Human fresh-cadaver research measured transmission of 940 nm infrared light through 4 cm of head tissue, supporting its ability to travel substantially beyond the skin surface. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33166061/)

Equine research comparing 800 and 970 nm found that wavelength, hair, skin pigmentation, skin thickness and clipping all affected transmission, and measurable energy reached both the superficial and deep digital flexor tendons. The 970 nm wavelength is a nearby longer-NIR wavelength rather than the exact 940 nm used here, but the study is directly relevant to the way longer-NIR light behaves in equine tissue. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27580111/)

In a direct 810-vs-940 nm laboratory study of periodontal-ligament-derived stem cells, the 940 nm / 2.5 J/cm² condition increased viability and proliferation under the tested protocol. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35293711/)

A 2025 LED study comparing 625, 810, 940 and 1050 nm found the tested 940 nm / 52 J/cm² condition produced particularly strong effects on cartilage-matrix markers and improved outcomes in its mouse knee-osteoarthritis model. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41163191/)

These studies support the wavelength-selection rationale. Results depend on irradiance, dose, treatment geometry and tissue, so laboratory protocols should not be assumed to be identical to any consumer-device session.

How Do I Start?

For a new animal, start conservatively — around 10 minutes at a lower setting — and increase gradually based on tolerance and your veterinarian’s guidance. Supervise the animal throughout every session.

Charging & Port Care

Please use the supplied magnetic charging adapter. It reduces repeated wear on the charging port and helps keep barn debris out of the connection. Damage caused by improper use or a damaged charging port may affect warranty coverage.

Care & Safety

Turn the device off before cleaning. Wipe with a dry cloth and store away from moisture, excessive heat and dust. This product is intended for general wellness and supportive care and is not a substitute for veterinary diagnosis or treatment.
