Application: What, Why, and How (Thoracic Sling Support)
- What: Targets the thoracic sling for proprioceptive support—connects front end, core, and head/neck position to encourage self-carriage
- Why: Improves thoracic sling development, body organization, and performance without aggressive training aids; ideal for conditioning and prevention
- How: Use EquiTecs 4-way stretch tape (2" and/or 3"), single strip, 25% stretch (zero stretch on ends). Apply with horse positioned correctly for best proprioceptive effect. Use long anchors for durability; full demo included in course. Wear for 5 days, then remove, clean, and reapply as needed
Unique Clinical Notes
- This is a proprioceptive—not restrictive—application; placement and recoil are essential
- Horse body position during taping is as important as tape placement
- High-mobility areas require 4-way tape for function and durability
- Rotate this application with core work for best long-term results
- Can be used as a prevention protocol for horses entering conditioning or returning from rehab
