We have been using the Equiband Pro system with our horses (both young and old) for close to a decade, and we're thrilled to add this wonderful therapy product to our lineup! From building topline strength and developing proper posture in young horses, to kissing spine rehabiliation, to improving the posture and topline of high performance competition horses, the Equiband does wonders for all horses!
How it Works: The Importance of Core Strength
Core musculature stabilizes the horse’s back in movement. Core strength helps to prevent the development of back pain and injuries. The Equiband®Pro system has been designed specifically to stimulate receptors in the horse’s skin and hair follicles.
In response to this stimulation, the abdominal, oblique, sublumbar and deep neck and back muscles are activated. These muscles stabilize the spine, and engage the hindquarters during movement.
Regular use of the Equiband®Pro system strengthens this core musculature, making it easier for the horse to work with an optimal posture, which reduces the risk of pain and injury due to hollowing or instability of the joints in the neck and the back.
The Equiband®Pro system (est. 2011) is a completely unique design that promotes continuous core activation during ridden, lungeing, or in-hand exercise.
