​Equi-Tape

Kinesiology taping for horses is used for training, injury prevention, and rehabilitation. Equi-Tape is effective alone and also works very well in combination with other bodywork modalities because it extend the initial results. The tape has been designed specifically to adhere to horse hair and is resistant to weather, sweat, and equipment use. 

Equi-Tape works by affecting the nerve endings that exist in the root of each hair. The elastic tape lifts the hair and skin, and this decompression increases circulation and excretion of metabolic toxins. The decompression also reduces pain by reducing pressure on the pain receptors embedded in the skin. The result is that the body can train harder and heal faster. 

Equi-Tape is very versatile and can be applied to muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons. This will cue the nervous system to produce biomechanically correct movement with an increased range of motion. By providing proprioceptive feedback, the tape interrupts faulty patterns and assists the body to develop improved function. 


Equi-Tape can be used for active training, as well as rehabilitation. Applications include: 
  • sacroiliac joint support
  • suspensory ligament support
  • back muscle relaxation
  • lymphangitis and fascial release
