A revolutionary aid to encourage the horse to engage and correctly use their core muscles. This enables the horse to build good musculoskeletal strength and facilitates the horse in flexing up through the spine. As the horse builds the desired muscle strength to optimally support their frame, the use of the Equiband can be reduced.
The Equiband is not a training tool or gimmick. Its concept is based on scientifically proven and validated research from the human fields of conditioning and rehabilitation. The Equiband™ is not a substitute for veterinary care, and veterinary advice should be sought if you are in any doubt about your horse’s well-being.

Who can use the equiband?
• YOUNG HORSES – for in-hand, and ridden work. The goal is to strengthen the core muscles in preparation for ridden work and thus avoid potential injury due to weakness and hollowing in early exercise under saddle. The Equiband™ system should be used once ridden work is introduced but the frequency may be reduced once the horse is strong enough to carry himself and his rider in a round outline.
• AGED HORSES – to maintain spinal mobility and strength. Horses with diagnosed arthritic issues must be warmed up prior to application of the Equiband™ system.
• RETRAINING - after a period of inactivity prior to restarting ridden exercise. Any horse that is being brought back into work after a period of inactivity will benefit from a month of training with the Equiband™ system to strengthen the core musculature, before being ridden.This is especially indicated in brood mares and horses that are obese in which the abdominal musculature is not being used optimally.
• REHABILITATION – horses that have been rested following an injury or colic surgery will benefit from core training exercises from the ground during the period of inactivity, followed by a month of training with the Equiband™ system.
• ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE - enhancement through optimal core muscle facilitation. Expert riders can round their horses’ backs but not every rider is able to produce this desired frame. The Equiband™ system teaches the horse to round up through flexing the spine, and allows the rider to develop a feel for this ideal frame. As the rider’s skills improve and they learn how to activate the core, the Equiband™ system can be used less frequently.

How does it work?
• The Equiband™ system is comprised of two bands that connect to a saddle pad. One band goes under the horse’s stomach and the other around the hind quarters. The Equiband’s unique design ensures that the bands sit in the optimal position. The abdominal band stimulates the abdominal muscles, while the breech band makes the horse aware of the position of his hind legs. The bands can be used singularly or together dependent upon your horse’s requirements.
• Your Equiband™ system comes complete with saddle pad, two pre-threaded sets of Equiband™, as well as a tape measure and user guide. For safety it is essential to follow the guide on how to fit and use the Equiband™ system.
