What Are The Benefits Of Tape For Horses?
Enhances Muscles
Equine kinesiology tape increases muscle contraction even in weak muscles, helps your horse stay healthy and efficient, helps relax over-stressed muscles, tendons, joints, and ligaments, reduces the risk of strain injuries, and is an integral part of a training program.
Stabilizes Joints
Equine kinesiology tape can be wrapped tightly around injured or unstable joints to support the soft tissues surrounding the joint mechanically. Improve your horse’s movement quality and potential by increasing joint and muscle flexibility and strength. It provides extra support to vulnerable areas and reduces load stress.
Pain Relief
Equine kinesiology tape stimulates subcutaneous nerve endings by stretching the hair. When mechanoreceptors are stimulated, nociceptors are inhibited, thereby indirectly relieving pain. At the same time, it also improves blood and lymph circulation, reducing inflammation risk.
Enhance Athletic Performance
Equine kinesiology tape is made of soft material, which can improve the horse’s comfort and relaxation, allowing it to move its limbs more freely. It can also help the horse maintain correct posture, allowing for more natural and comfortable movements while enhancing its explosive power, flexibility, coordination, and athletic performance.

LUMBOSACRAL
Apply two pieces of 5 cm wide kinesiology tape for horses with zero to 50% stretch adjacent to the spine, starting at the gluteal tongue and ending at the base of the dock. This can be applied to the horse in neutral or lumbar stretch.
INFLAMMATION
