Application: What, Why, and How (Core-Specific)

  • What: Targets the external abdominal obliques and rectus abdominis to build core strength, improve self-carriage, and enhance topline
  • Why: Core activation taping increases abdominal muscle engagement, improves propulsion, and reduces injury risk—validated in sport horse studies
  • How: Use EquiTecs 2-way stretch tape, 2" width, ~20–25% stretch (origin to insertion). Apply to rectus abdominis and external obliques. Leave tape on until it loses recoil or comes off (remove on rest days). Apply at least 30 minutes before exercise for optimal adhesive activation. Full demo included in course

Unique Clinical Notes

  • Use for conditioning, topline development, injury rehab, or to reduce reliance on training aids
  • Most common mistakes: incorrect tape placement, overstretching, improper prep
  • Mechanism: Works via mechanoreceptors in hair root plexus and fascia; best results if horse is exercised after application
  • Remove tape on rest days for skin health
