Bit resistance. Won’t flex at the poll. Ear sensitivity. Jaw tension. Grinding teeth. Difficulty bending one direction. These are the signs most riders try to train through — not realizing they’re asking a horse in pain to comply. Poll compression and TMJ tension are among the most common and most overlooked sources of behavioral resistance and performance problems in ridden horses. When the poll and jaw can’t move freely, nothing above the shoulder works the way it should.\nThe Poll\/TMJ application uses 4-Way energy return tape to decompress the poll joint and support the TMJ — reducing the mechanical pressure that drives pain and restriction. The Allergies \u0026amp; Bug Bites facial circulation application is included because poll and jaw tension frequently coexist with facial fluid buildup and nerve irritation — and clearing that fluid accelerates the relief the support application provides. Together they address the poll and jaw from both angles: structural support and lymphatic drainage.\nWhat’s Included\n\n\nEFT Basic Course — the clinical foundation for understanding how and why the tape works\n\nEFT Poll\/TMJ Support (Application Library) — 4-Way decompression and support for the poll joint and TMJ, reducing pain and restoring freedom of movement\n\nEFT Allergies \u0026amp; Bug Bites Support (Application Library) — facial circulation application that clears fluid buildup around the jaw and poll and reduces nerve irritation\n\nPoll\/TMJ Protocol — the complete management plan: what to apply, when, in what order, and what to look for\n4-Way Stretch Tape 2\" Single Roll (x2)\n2-Way Stretch Tape 2\" Single Roll (x2)\nTeflon-coated taping scissors\nMicrofiber surface prep towel\n\nDigital courses and protocol begin immediately after purchase. Physical supplies ship separately.\nWhy Taping Works for Poll \u0026amp; TMJ Problems\nThe poll is the most mobile joint in the horse’s spine — and one of the most compressed, especially in horses ridden in collection or with tight contact. When the poll is compressed, the TMJ compensates, the neck braces, and the whole topline tightens in response. EquiTecs 4-Way Tape’s energy return mechanism actively reduces the compressive load on the poll joint with every movement the horse makes — giving the joint space to decompress and the surrounding soft tissue space to release. Many horses show immediate relaxation responses within minutes of application: licking, chewing, yawning, lowering the head. The facial circulation application accelerates this by clearing the fluid and inflammatory buildup that keeps the area sensitized.\nIs This the Right Bundle?\n\nHead tossing, bit resistance, or poll sensitivity\nDifficulty flexing at the poll or bending one direction\nJaw tension, teeth grinding, or TMJ soreness\nEar sensitivity or resistance to bridling\nPost-chiropractic support to help the poll hold the adjustment longer\nHorses in collected work with chronic poll compression\nBehavioral resistance under saddle that originates in the head and neck\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 Poll/TMJ kit we’d tell you to buy anyway. Built for the stuff that shows up as behavior, performance, and “attitude”—when it’s actually poll compression, jaw tension, or a nervous system that can’t settle.
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
Poll/TMJ (Application Library)
Allergies/Bug Bites (Application Library)
Poll/TMJ Protocol
4-Way Stretch Tape 2" Single Roll (x2)
2-Way Stretch Tape 2" Single Roll (x2)
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.
Poll/TMJ issues rarely show up with a tidy label. They show up as headshaking, bridle drama, one-sided stiffness, teeth grinding, weird resistance…or a horse that just feels off. And one of the most common tells? Headaches. Not “my horse says they have a headache” headaches—headaches that look like ears pinned when you reach for their face, flinching at the halter, avoiding contact, or acting defensive about anything near the head.
This bundle gives you a protocol-led way to work the actual problem area: the poll (where the skull meets C1) and the jaw. When you decompress and support this region correctly, you’re not just making the head feel better—you’re supporting neurologic signals between the brain and the rest of the body, reducing local/referred pain, and helping the horse downshift out of that stuck, reactive state. That’s why this is a comfort + function bundle, not a “mask it and hope” bundle.
And yes—this matters beyond the head. There’s a strong real-world connection between chronic colic patterns and a poll that’s consistently “out” (especially in horses with a history of trauma, dental work, pulling back, or long-term tension). Supporting the poll can be a missing piece for the chronic colic horse that never fully settles—even when you’ve done a lot of other things right.
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.
EFT Poll/TMJ (Application Library) - The core application for supporting comfort and function at the poll and jaw—combines circulation, support/stabilization, and decompression techniques depending on what the horse needs.
EFT Allergies & Bug Bites (Application Library) - Included because headshaking often needs a two-part plan (Poll + Allergies/Bug Bites together), and this application supports the “reactive, inflamed, irritated” picture that can layer on top of poll/TMJ tension.
4-Way Stretch Tape 2" — Single Roll (x2) Recommended for the Poll/TMJ application—engineered for structural support and decompression where you need multidirectional stretch and strong performance.
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.
Poll/TMJ Protocol (Digital Protocol): Your step-by-step plan for poll pain, TMJ tension, and headshaking—including when to combine applications, what to track, and how to document changes with before/after video over a real week.
2-Way Stretch Tape 2" — Single Roll (x2) Used for the Allergies/Bug Bites circulation-style work—gentle, directional recoil for comfort and fluid support.

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.
