Mission Statement
THE EQUINE BALANCE BANDS TRAINING SYSTEM COMBINES CLASSICAL DRESSAGE TECHNIQUES WITH MODERN SPORTS MEDICINE PRACTICES TO HELP THE HORSE ACHIEVE PEAK HEALTH DURING PERFORMANCE
Equine Balance Bands were developed to help horses adapt to the demands of ridden work and develop mental and physical fitness, for a long and happy life under saddle.
The saddle pad training aid and exercise program have been designed to bridge the gap between traditional training methods and modern sports medicine practices.

This is the story about how the Equine Balance Bands training aid and core strengthening exercise program evolved to help horses and riders develop increased body awareness for improved performance, injury recovery, neuro muscular retraining and general strengthening and conditioning purposes.
Information About Resistance Band Training for Horses
Resistance band training can be used in a wide range of activities from work in hand, to lunging and long reining, under saddle, over poles and whilst hacking. By encouraging the horse to work over the back and to step under the centre of gravity, the horse develops increased top line condition and many problems that are created by weakness or natural crookedness are greatly improved. This alleviates the need to deploy forceful or fixed methods that attempt to hold the horse into a particular frame, direction or outline and results in improved comfort and soundness.
IN HAND & BODY AWARNESS EXERCISES
The Equine Balance Bands Core Conditioning System has been developed for use with many different types of horse and can be incorporated into both general and rehabilitative training regimes. Examples of horses that have benefited from the system include sport horses, young horses, ex racehorses, and horses rehabilitating from kissing spines, stifle weakness or sacroiliac discomfort.
LUNGING & LONG REINING
At Equine Balance Bands we are passionate about horses. It is our aim to provide practical, helpful and applicable guidance on using the system that will be of benefit to the horse. Please look at our articles online and browse our eBook guides from the Equine Balance Bands Facebook Group page for helpful tips, training advice and exercises.
