Help maximize your horse’s core strength, topline, stride evenness, and thoracic lift with the Equiband System from Equicore Concepts. Suitable for all disciplines (English, Dressage, Jumping, and Western) The Equiband system is a completely unique design that promotes continuous core activation during ridden, lungeing, or in-hand exercise. The Equiband System is the only product of its kind that has been extensively tested and validated by veterinarians, professional equine sport therapists, and veterinary scientists. The Equiband 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 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 abdominal band activates the musculature that supports the horse’s back and is especially indicated for horses that have recovered from a colic surgery, have poor (inverted) posture, and in clinical cases such as diagnosed conditions of the back, including ‘kissing spines’. The hindquarter band is especially indicated for horses with asymmetrical hind limb movement, poor engagement, and poor development of major muscle groups such as biceps femoris, as well as horses recovering from diagnosed musculoskeletal or neurological conditions (such as EPM). It is suggested for use only with veterinary and/or licensed therapist guidance.
