EvoBand Bands Only
How does the EvoBand work?
The EvoBand system is comprised of two bands that connect to a saddle pad. One band goes under the horse’s stomach and the other around the hind quarters.
The EvoBand design ensures that the bands sit in the optimal position. The abdominal band stimulates the abdominal muscles, while the breech band makes the horse aware of the position of his hind legs. The bands can be used singularly or together dependent upon your horse’s requirements.
Description of the EvoBand and whats included
Straps and clips for attaching the Thera-band
2x lengths of Thera. Band with clip fasteners for girth and hind.

Great for re-training,rehabilitation for young/older horses or ponies who have trouble maintaining their frame ,thin or poor muscle developement little or no top line for all ages fitness levels and disciplines.
The concept for the EvoBand system was developed for the need for a more optimal means to engage the horse’s core in work.
The EvoBand system promotes optimal function. With use of the system, owners have reported a significant improvement in symmetry of more forward motion of the pelvis and back. A more “active and engaged horse”.
Many horses are being fitted with the EvoBand system for general improvement in conditioning. It is exciting to see riders at global top level using a band system as part of their conditioning programmes.
The EvoBand system is also introducing a build your own system so we can attach to your existing saddle pad if you choose. Please contact us to arrange this.
Where an underlying clinical condition is suspected, the horse must be referred to the primary responsible veterinarian for clinical permission. EvoEquine LTD take no responsibility for the use/effect of the band system. The operator is in full responsibility of its application and effects. It is important to make sure your horse is desensitised to the bands before attempting ridding with the system.
Recommended use:
We recommend if possible the system is initially used on a daily basis, and depending on the horse’s progress, use is reduced after 4 or so weeks, to 3-4 times per week, and eventually the horse will use the system as a ‘reminder’, once or twice a week, depending on how the horse is progressing.
The system is safe for use on the treadmill, in the horsewalker and is an ideal means to train the horse’s core strength during recovery from injury or surgery, where exercise is limited to controlled walking. (Your veterinarian advise must be sought)
Our system is made with high quality belts that give a medium to high resistance. The clips give a quick and easy way to apply the bands onto the pad and remove when not in use.
The bands have been tested and selected for the durability and Performance.
