Equicore Concepts LLC THE UNIQUE DYNAMIC CORE MUSCULATURE CONDITIONING SYSTEM FOR HORSES Core musculature stabilises the horse’s back in movement.

Core strength helps to prevent the development of back pain and injuries. The Equiband™ system has been designed specifically to stimulate receptors in the horse’s skin and hair follicles. In response to this stimulation, the abdominal, oblique, sublumbar and deep neck and back muscles are activated. These muscles stabilise the spine, and engage the hindquarters during movement. Regular use of the

Equiband™ system strengthens this core musculature, making it easier for the horse to work with an optimal posture, which reduces the risk of pain and injury due to hollowing or instability of the joints in the neck and the back. The Equiband™ system (est. 2011) is a completely unique design that promotes continuous core activation during ridden, lungeing, or in-hand exercise. It is suggested for use with a programme of ground-based core activation and strengthening techniques, and only with veterinary and/or licensed therapist guidance.

Your saddle isn’t just tack - it is a direct interface between you and your horse!

Research shows that a horse’s back expands when he is working correctly. A well-fitted saddle encourages the horse to maintain optimal movement patterns, and allows for core engagement and overall balance! A poorly fitted saddle, on the other hand, can cause pain, resistance, shortened strides, chronic compensatory movements, and decreased performance.

Our newest blog dives deep into why saddle fit matters more than you might think, for the horse’s balance, biomechanics, and as an inter-relationship with the rider.

Swipe through this post for major takeaways, and then head to the Equicore Concepts Library to get the full scoop (link in bio)!

🌟Pro Tip: Pairing a well-fitted saddle with the Equiband Pro System is the ultimate *chef’s kiss* if you want to build core musculature and condition for long-term performance!🌟

This story almost brought tears to our eyes! 😭 Maddy and Bill in Costa Rica are such an inspiration. Here’s their story:

“Bill’s story is one of resilience — his and mine.

When I first bought him, he was a ranch horse: steady and dependable, but with very little experience of jumping. To my surprise, he turned out to be a natural jumper with incredible courage and the kindest heart. Together, we competed and even became Costa Rican champions twice.

In 2024, everything changed. First came a tendon injury, and not long after, a serious accident left him with a deep wound in his shoulder. He also suffered nerve damage, and many doubted whether he would ever walk properly again. But I wasn’t willing to give up on him.

The months that followed tested us both. There were infections, setbacks, and countless treatments. Every day required patience, persistence, and belief. We worked with physiotherapy, energy healing, and eventually, the Equicore system. Building his core and hindend became essential for his recovery, helping him move freely again and taking pressure off his injured front.

Slowly, step by step, he regained his strength. First, walking with ease, then trotting, and now cantering freely once again.

Today, Bill is happy, strong, and pain-free. Bill never gave up — and neither did I. His strong spirit and will to heal made all the difference, and together we’ve written a story of true resilience. He is very proud to show how far he has come.”

thank you for sharing your heart and Bill’s spirit with us. We support you and know that the better it gets, the better it gets.💜🧡

INJURY IS NOT BAD LUCK! While some injuries cannot be prevented, and age naturally brings ‘wear and tear’ with it, most sports med injuries actually stem from inefficient or incorrect movement patterns. That means we can take a proactive role as horse owners and trainers.

By strengthening your horse’s core musculature, you set him up for soundness, performance, and long-term success. 💪

The Equiband Pro System is designed to do exactly this: It supports the horse in learning optimal movement patterns, whilst retraining and rewiring the neuromuscular pathways that guide every stride in every gait.

Let us know your plans for using the Equiband Pro System this week! 👇

Huge congratulations to Equicore Ambassador and her mount She’s The One (“Jemma”), at their incredible performance last weekend at the FEI Eventing Nations Cup CCIO4*-NC-S in Arville, Belgium! The pair finished 19th individually out of 103 competitors, and Team USA finished in Silver position! Amazing horses and riders! We’re grateful to be a small part of the success!🏅

The Kissing Spines Sample Rehab Plan ❤️‍🩹 If you are the owner or lover of a horse diagnosed with Kissing Spines, we first want to tell you that Kissing Spines is NOT a life sentence! Use this guide as a starting point, and of course, ALWAYS work with your veterinarian and licensed physiotherapist. We also have a RACE-approved course on the Online Academy of Equine Science called “Evidence-Based Rehabilitation for Equine Kissing Spines” that many people find very helpful. Remember, core strengthening is KEY for recovery. The core muscles support the back. Make sure the Equiband Pro System is involved in your rehab plan😉

Education = AWARENESS! This is a no-shame space! When you understand more about how the horse’s body adjusts his movement to a rider of any size, you can make informed decisions about how to help your horse. Our new blog is all about this topic! Head to our Library through the link in our bio. 🤓

And, don’t forget to consistently use the Equiband Pro System in your training program to help keep your horse’s core (and spine) in the best shape possible!

🌟We went THERE 👀The Biomechanics of How the Rider Affects the Horse’s Balance ➡️

In our new, upcoming blog series, we are going to explore key elements that influence the horse’s balance, from surfaces to conformation, and we are starting with one that is often ignored and misunderstood: The effect of the rider.

We know that this topic can be emotionally charged, but it doesn’t have to be. Understanding the science behind how rider balance and weight impact equine biomechanics, allows us to move past judgment and towards better care, improved training, and stronger partnerships. Stick it out with us, we promise you will enjoy this!

🧠What does it really mean when we say that the Equiband Pro System is a brain-body retraining mechanism? 🧠

When a horse experiences injury, strain or stress, prolonged compensatory movement, or even inconsistent training, the communication between the brain and the body is disrupted. This affects proprioception, or the horse’s awareness of how its body and limbs are moving through space.

The Equiband Pro System uses a gentle, consistent sensory input to “wake up” this internal communication. As the horse moves, the bands provide constant feedback to key muscle groups, encouraging the nervous system to reorganize posture, balance, and coordination in real time.

It’s not just physical, it is true neuromuscular retraining. By using the Equiband Pro System, you can help your horse’s brain re-learn how to move his body efficiently and safely.

This is how you can support optimal movement, dynamic stability, and long-term soundness and performance, from the nervous system and beyond!
