Improve your horses' core strength with the Equiband Pro System
Designed following extensive research into core stability, the Equiaband Pro System is intended for core strengthening and movement retraining to help horses in both rehabilitation and everyday.
What sets the Equiband Pro System apart from other training tools
The Equiband® Pro is a unique system which has been integrated globally into core strengthening and conditioning programs for equine athletes at every level of performance, and as a preferred implement in equine rehabilitation for various clinical conditions.
The system is used by riders and trainers from novice to Olympic level and is globally endorsed and sold by leading equine sports medicine veterinarians and licensed equine therapists.
Equicore Concepts prides itself on the fact that the Equiband® Pro system is, to date, the only equine resistance band system on the commercial market whose benefits are backed by multiple independent peer-reviewed clinical research projects.
In 2018, the Equiband® system was short-listed as a nomination for the Welfare and Performance Ambassador Award from the United Kingdom’s renowned Saddle Research Trust.
How it Works: The Importance of Core Strength
Core musculature stabilises 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, sub lumbar 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 is a completely unique design that promotes continuous core activation during ridden, lunging, or in-hand exercise. It is suggested for use with a programme of ground-based core activation and strengthening techniques, and only with veterinary and/or licensed therapist guidance.
