A horse like any human athlete needs to be in peak condition to give a winning performance.

Maintaining that fine competitive edge demands constant attention, and in the same way a human athlete can suffer, a horses ability to perform can be greatly affected by a host of factors.

Voted “Best New Horse Product in the World” in 2000 BETA UK, horse owners world wide love how Equissage provides a full body workout, equivalent to a 10km walk for their horse. Making it the perfect warm-up and warm-down tool, Equissage is essential for prevention of common issues, maintenance of peak condition and improvement of performance.

Stride length before and after Equissage

Clinical trials at Writtle College in the UK prove Equissage can increase horse’s length of stride by more than 30%, assisting performance across all disciplines. The study included eight horses of varying ages who were monitored for their length of stride before and after a treatment with Equissage daily over two weeks. The results indicated that daily use of the Equissage Back Pad on the saddle position and Hand Units to each front leg in the Tendon Boots appeared to improve their stride lengths by an average of 13%, improve their trot speed by an average of 21% and increase their hock angles by an average of 9%.

Veterinary Surgeon Dietrich Graf von Schweinitz says: “Not only did the stride length appear to improve, but an increase in the speed of the stride (from an average of 2.6m/sec to 3.1m/sec) was also found in the study.” “The hock joint flexion and swing phase of the stride improvements provide an increased power translating in improved performance for all disciplines.”

Therefore, because of the increased stride length, Racehorses, Polo ponies, Eventers and many other horse disciplines all perform with fewer strides and a faster time. Because of the increase in joint flexion and power, Dressage horses in particular can increase their performance and scores, as lack of impulsion and hind limb engagement is one of the most common reported faults in Dressage.

Equissage is Safe, Easy to use, Natural, Non-aggressive and Non-invasive. The best thing about Equissage is that you don’t have to be a vet to operate it. The convenience of 24/7 physiotherapy care, that travels with you, Equissage is an essential tool in improving the performance of horses in every discipline, in every stable at every event.
