Wie unterstützt Equimpulse das tensegrale Pferdetraining?

Equimpulse ist ein umfassendes System, das die Leistung und das Wohlbefinden Ihres Pferdes dort verbessert, wo die Bewegung entsteht. Es basiert auf dem Prinzip der Biotensegrity – dem funktionellen Zusammenspiel von Muskeln, Faszien und Skelett zu einer stabilen Einheit.

Das Herzstück ist das maßgefertigte orthopädische Körperband, das durch spezielle Gurte perfekt in Position gehalten wird. Es berührt gezielt Reflexpunkte, die die Muskeln auf natürliche Weise „wachrütteln“. Diese doppelte Wirkung stabilisiert die tiefe Stützmuskulatur und gibt den großen Bewegungsmuskeln gleichzeitig einen Rahmen, gegen den sie gesund arbeiten können.

How do I make sure I order the right size?

We recommend measuring your horse's height at the withers before choosing a size. Our sizes overlap to some extent. If your horse is at the upper end of a size range, has a broader build, is very muscular, or is generally sturdy, you should choose the larger size.
If your horse is rather delicate, slenderly built, or at the lower end of the size range, the smaller size is usually the better choice.

My horse has kissing spines. Can the band help?

Yes, absolutely. The Equimpulse Body Band is made of a special orthopedic material, similar to what is used in human medicine and physiotherapy. It provides targeted support while still allowing movement. This activates multiple muscle groups and promotes stability.

This is how the band helps your horse adopt a correct posture and can help prevent further spinal problems. Especially during lunging, it promotes a favorable head and neck position, thereby supporting the development of the deep core muscles – an important component of treatment for kissing spines. In addition, we recommend regular physiotherapeutic support for this diagnosis.

Can Equimpulse help my horse with back fatigue or topline syndrome?

Yes, absolutely. The band is designed to improve posture – regardless of the horse's age. Older horses that are prone to multiple issues or have difficulty maintaining muscle can also benefit from it.

After the initial adjustment, you can gradually tighten the band and use it for additional support, for example when leading or in the stable. Horses prone to suspensory desmitis also benefit when being lunged or ridden, as the band supports biomechanical movement.

My horse has PSSM. Is the tape helpful?

With PSSM, special care is important. Since PSSM affects muscle function and the removal of metabolic waste products, we recommend a free consultation so that we can support you individually with optimal use.

Please note: The band should be used for a shorter duration in horses with PSSM than in horses without PSSM. In addition, a mandatory 15-minute cool-down phase at a walk is necessary after each session to promote blood circulation and support the removal of metabolic waste products.

How can Equimpulse help my young, unridden horse?

Equimpulse helps young horses develop correct movement patterns right from the start. Even though many owners do not suspect any problems in young horses, muscles are still building during growth and development.

We recommend using the band for active gymnastics, lunging, or groundwork up to three times a week to promote balance and prevent compensatory problems.

My horse is hypermobile. Does the tape help?

Yes. Building core muscles is important for all horses, but especially for hypermobile horses. The band can be used three to five times a week for a period of at least three months – including while riding.

It improves safety and balance and supports healthy muscle development with minimal rider interference.

Is Equimpulser useful for a horse with laminitis?

Yes. Horses with laminitis frequently adopt a pain-relieving posture, shifting their weight away from the forelimbs. Wearing the band for 30 minutes to an hour, three to five times a week, can help support posture and correct uneven weight distribution.

However, it is important not to use the tape for too long and to continue having your horse monitored and treated by a veterinarian.

My horse is older, has osteoarthritis, and has limited mobility. Is it worth using the band?

Yes, absolutely. Horses with limited mobility often benefit significantly from the band – even during short walks. Since older horses tire more quickly, you should start with short sessions initially and slowly increase the workload.

For horses on stall rest, you will also find safe exercises on our YouTube channel that you can use to further support the effects of Equimpulse. We also offer a free consultation so we can individually support you in achieving optimal application.

How can Equimpulse improve my horse's performance even though it is already doing well?

After almost 30 years of experience, I have rarely encountered a horse where there isn't still something that could be optimized. Fitness, muscle function, and movement patterns can almost always be improved.

We recommend using Equimpulse two to three times a week during longeing, ground work, and under saddle to provide additional support and further develop training.

My horse has had surgery. When should I start using Equimpulse again?

Please speak with your veterinarian to plan the return to exercise after surgery. In the first phase, lymphatic drainage and pain management should be the focus. However, modern physical therapy approaches show that early, controlled movement building can promote long-term recovery.

Once the wounds have healed, you can use Equimpulse during short walks or for up to two hours daily in the stall. You can also find neuromuscular exercises for rehabilitation on our YouTube channel. If you wish, we are also happy to advise you personally.

We always recommend close collaboration between you, your therapist, your veterinarian, and – if necessary – your farrier.

For which horses is Equimpulse particularly suitable?

Equimpulse can be used to support, among other things, the following issues:

• Kissing Spines
• trapezius deficiency / top-line syndrome
• PSSM
• Hypermobile Horses
• young, unridden horses
• Horses with laminitis
• older horses with osteoarthritis or limited mobility
• Horses after surgery
