They keep coming up as a sponsored post on my FB newsfeed. I've got a horse who is work in progress for strengthening her back and hindquarter muscles (PSSM / arthritis) and would be interested to know if anyone is using this system in practice right now?
We work in an equiami a couple of times a week for short periods and a lot of pole work but the advantage of the equiband would be that it could be used with a rider - which is when she really struggles to engage her core muscles. She has improved no end in the past few months with daily exercises, but ridden work is still hard for her.
It seems expensive for what is really 2 pieces of elastic and I'm half wondering whether I could construct my own version!
