What are Equine Balance Bands?

How do Equine Balance Bands Work? The equineband system works in a non restrictive way to encourage natural, healthy muscle development. The equibands provide a gentle, supportive and non restrictive contact with the horse's body encouraging a natural healthy posture. The action of the bands supports hind end engagment whilst allowing the head and neck freedom to move so the horse is more responsible for regulating his own balance.
