Catching stifle. Dragging a hind toe. Reluctance to go downhill or back up. Stifle injections every few months. The stifle is the largest and most complex joint in the horse’s body — and when it’s not working properly, the whole hind end compensates. Whether the issue is upward fixation of the patella, OA, soft tissue instability, or post-surgical recovery, the stifle responds well to continuous active support that reduces joint load and keeps fluid moving through the tissue.\nThe Stifle Support application uses 4-Way energy return tape to actively reduce the load the stifle bears with every stride — genuine biomechanical support that works continuously, not passive compression that loses effect the moment the horse moves.

When the joint is compromised, the surrounding soft tissue compensates, creating a cycle of tension, inflammation, and further instability. EquiTecs 4-Way Tape’s energy return mechanism actively reduces the load the stifle has to bear, breaking that cycle. The tape stores energy as the joint loads and releases it as the joint unloads — effectively sharing the work the stifle would otherwise do alone. \nIs This the Right Bundle?\n\nUpward fixation of the patella (locking or catching stifle)\nDiagnosed stifle OA or soft tissue instability\nHorse on a stifle injection cycle — looking to extend the interval or reduce dependence\nPost-injection support to help the joint hold the correction longer\nReluctance to go downhill, back up, or engage the hind end\nDragging a hind toe or showing reduced hind end push\nPost-surgical stifle recovery\n\nDigital courses and protocol: instant access.

you’re a repeat customer who already knows this works… …this bundle is built to make the decision simple: everything you need, nothing you don’t.
Save your fingers
No DM, no email, no guessing. This is the exact Stifle Problems kit we’d tell you to buy anyway. It’s built around the most common stifle presentations—so you don’t have to worry you missed a piece or bought the wrong tape for support.
What this bundle does (and doesn’t do)
Does: give you a clear, proven plan + the tools to apply it correctly during rehab/management
Doesn’t: leave you guessing. The taping technique is taught inside the included training, with clear steps and troubleshooting.
Included (digital + physical)
EFT Basics (digital course)
Stifle Support Course (digital course)
Stifle Problems Protocol (digital protocol)
4-Way Stretch Tape 2" Color Pack (x1)
4-Way Stretch Tape 3" Color Pack (x1)
Equine Taping Scissors
Surface Preparation Towel
Built for horses (not adapted from human kinesiology tape)
Science-backed, field-tested protocols — clear and transparent
Designed to remove “did I buy the right stuff?” stress
Ships fast Mon–Fri
The cornerstone + the application + the protocol (that’s the difference)
Confidence first. Then results.
Stifle problems are one of those issues that make you feel crazy—because the signs can be obvious one day (sticky behind, toe-drag, “off” in transitions) and subtle the next. And when the stifle feels unstable, most people either rest forever and lose strength… or keep riding and hope it “works itself out.” Neither one gives you a real plan.
This bundle is built to give you that plan: support + stability, with a protocol you can repeat. You’re not just slapping tape on and praying. You’re following a step-by-step system that shows you what to do first, how to apply for the goal, and what to look for so you know whether it’s working—or what to adjust.
The result we’re after is simple: a horse that moves with more confidence, uses the hind end more correctly, and stops compensating up the chain. Because when the stifle is supported appropriately, you’re not only chasing “less lameness”—you’re protecting the rest of the body from the fallout that stifle instability can create.
EFT Basic (the cornerstone): learn correct tape handling and technique so you can apply safely and effectively—without over-stretching, wasting tape, or second-guessing.
Application Library training: follow the exact step-by-step application for this issue, plus troubleshooting (so you know what to adjust if adhesion, sensitivity, or placement gets tricky).
Protocol: your simple roadmap for rehab or ongoing management—save it to your phone or print it for the barn.
Reapply with purpose: timing is guided by the protocol and your horse’s response, not random trial-and-error.
What’s included (and why it matters)
Everything you need in one package
Lifetime access to all courses
EFT Basic (Cornerstone Course) - The foundation that makes everything else work: tape handling, correct stretch, clean anchors, and the confidence to apply safely without second-guessing.
Stifle Support Course (Digital Course) - Focused training for stifle support and stability: what you’re trying to change, how to position and apply for the goal, and how to avoid the common mistakes that create “it didn’t work” outcomes.
EFT Lumbar Support (Application Training) - Targeted support for the lumbar/lumbosacral area—especially helpful when back pain shows up as tightness, guarding, or loss of power behind.
4-Way Stretch Tape 2" — Color Pack (x1) Your go-to width for more precise placement and support work around high-mobility areas.
Surface Preparation Towel - Because prep isn’t optional. This helps you get clean, oil-free hair so your tape actually sticks and performs the way it’s designed to.
Equine Taping Scissors - Clean cuts matter (for comfort, durability, and professional-looking applications). These make prep fast and consistent.
Stifle Problems Protocol (Digital Protocol) - Your step-by-step plan for stifle support—clear sequence, checkpoints, and troubleshooting so you know what “right” looks like and what to adjust if the horse is still compensating.
4-Way Stretch Tape 3" — Color Pack (x1) Wider coverage for stronger support and better hold when you need more surface area and stability.
Who this bundle is for
Pros (yes, even pros): when you want the right supplies + training in one place, and you’d rather stop piecing things together
Hands-on horse owners who want to confidently support their horse between appointments and during rehab/management
Riders and trainers who need practical, repeatable support they can use in real barn life
Who it’s not for

FAQ
Do I get access right away?
Yes. Your digital training is delivered immediately after purchase, and you’ll have lifetime access to the education you buy.
Is this a physical kit, digital training, or both?
Both. You’ll receive the physical supplies shipped to you, plus the digital training and protocol so you know exactly how to use what you bought.
Do I need experience to use this?
No. These bundles are built for pros and hands-on owners. EFT Basic is the cornerstone that teaches proper tape handling and technique so you can apply with confidence.
How long does the tape stay on?
It depends on your horse, prep, and the application. Your training covers wear time and when to reapply so you’re not guessing.
My tape never sticks—what’s the deal?
Most adhesion issues come down to overstretching and prep (oil, sweat, dirt, product residue). From Stick With Success (Amazon #1 Best Seller) — Rebecca Haddock, President & Owner, EquiTecs Equine Technologies Institute:
“If you’re stretching like you are in a rubber band stretching contest, the best prep in the world won’t help.” That’s why every bundle includes the basics and training to get clean, consistent applications. In 15 years of building horse-specific tape, Rebecca has yet to find a true adhesive failure—if it’s not sticking, it’s almost never the tape.
Is this a one-time fix?
No—this is a system you can repeat during rehab or ongoing management, based on your horse’s response.
What’s your return policy?
Tape can be returned within 30 days if it’s unopened and not damaged. Digital education is non-refundable due to immediate access.
