Safety Precautions
- Follow all care instructions
- Prior to use, Equiband® Pro must be securely attached to the saddle pad via the safety clips and triglides
- Always ensure that each Equiband® Pro is unclipped on both sides, prior to loosening the surcingle or girth after work
- Examine Equiband® Pro before each use, checking for tears or punctures that may cause the band to break; if the band appears flawed, cease use, and discard immediately.
- Avoid the use of sharp spurs directly over Equiband® Pro – blunt spurs can be used, but rider leg position must be checked to ensure that there is no direct interference with the abdominal band.
- Equiband® Pro resistance bands will need to be replaced periodically. A spare band is provided with the Complete Equiband® Pro system, and additional Equiband® Pro sets can be ordered here.
Warning
Equiband® Pro should only be incorporated into ridden work when the horse is fully accustomed to the feeling of Equiband® Pro (as outlined in the step-by-step fitting instructions). Carefully check the tension as over- or undertension of Equiband® Pro will not promote the desired core strengthening effect.
Failure to take due care may lead to serious accidents or injury. Always wear a helmet when riding with the Equiband® Pro system. Equiband® Pro is not for use on horses with an undiagnosed lameness or clinical condition. When in doubt, veterinary advice must be sought.
