When I started using the Equiband with Fuego, my eventing partner, I was initially skeptical. Despite being an intermediate-level eventer, Fuego had almost no ab muscles.

This revelation came as a surprise, especially given his competition level! However, once we started incorporating the Equiband into our routine, the changes were remarkable.

The two stretches test and develop your horse’s abdominal and hind-end muscles.

Here’s how you can do it:

When these stretches are done correctly, your horse’s abs or butt will contract, and their back will lift slightly. This reaction indicates muscle engagement.

When I first tried this with Fuego, he had no reaction, which highlighted his lack of muscle. However, after consistent use of the Equiband, his muscles began to develop, and the reaction became noticeable.

These stretch helps in relieving tension and promoting muscle recovery, which is crucial for overall muscle development.

These stretches are essential for anyone using the Equiband, whether for rehabilitation or performance enhancement. They provide a tangible way to measure your horse’s progress and ensure they are developing the right muscles.
