If you are rich race horse, I got great news for you! If you aren’t a horse, you’re going to freak out looking at this image: a horse in a full body suit. Why in hell does a horse need a suit?
For the same reasons athletes need compression leggings, the inventors say. Called Hidez, these suits “are specifically engineered garments [made with] fabric cut in specific ways, then sewn together and strategically placed around the garment to focus in on certain muscle groups.”
According to the inventors, the suit “enhances blood flow and oxygen availability to animal’s muscles and speeds up the removal of waste products—like lactic acids and carbon dioxide—for vital blood supplies.” They say that this helps to “recover injuries faster, help prevent injuries by maintaining muscle temperature and it reduces muscle fatigue and by flushing out bad blood it reduces delayed onset muscle soreness.”
For around £550 each, it sounds good to me, no matter how stupid and freaky it looks. I mean, if you were a horse, would you use this ridiculous suit with a giant poop hole on the back or would you rather get shot in the head and turned into dog food and sausages for French people.
No question, horsey. Now, what I really want to see is a video of people getting a horse into this thing. I would pay for that. With soda. [MyFox]
daft
It might look daft, but the principles certainly are not. Human muscles are (correct me if I’m wrong) so similar or even identical to animal muscles, if it works for us, why not for them?
…I’m more curious about how the hell they got it on O_o
I’m thinking, either sugar cubes laced with rohypnol, or a bucket of lube + a lot of hard work.
["There are zippers everywhere and it takes about 90 seconds to put it on," McNair said.]

Thats significantly less interesting than rohypnol sugar cubes and lube
That sounds like my usual Saturday night..
Sorry to disappoint! On the plus side, it does throw up the possibility that McNair from Being Human actually didn’t die, and is instead happily reporting on horse-related matters down under.
Is it just me or does the last image look photoshopped?
Can you tell by the pixels?
And from having seen a few ‘shops in his life, presumably.
Quite…
But in all honesty it just looks odd for some reason.
Looks like a diving/wet suit for horses…
All that’s missing is a surfboard.
plenty of sponsor ad space on that suit….
More like HIDEouZ. Should be illegal.
