Stübben Equi Compress Hind Legs

Equi Compress manages to stimulate the vascular system and accelerate metabolism with the help of optimal pressure and efficient compression, starting from the horse's hoof.

The problem

Unlike humans, who have well-developed calf muscles, horses only have tendinous extensions in the hoof.

The advantage: rapid acceleration during escape situations - the disadvantage: the lack of a muscle pump means that the metabolic end products can only be transported back to the heart more slowly. This transportation takes place via the lymphatic system, which is connected in parallel to the blood circulation system.
The lymph then flows into the veins close to the heart. If the lymphatic system is not fully functional, proteins, for example, cannot be transported away and tissue hardening develops. Our sport horses are mainly kept in the box.

The result: the natural metabolism is impaired. Increased standing therefore promotes illness and leads to injuries. The horse regenerates more slowly and structures such as muscles, ligaments and tendons are more vulnerable.

The solution

This is where the EQUI compress compression stocking comes in, by generating compression at a precisely predetermined position with the required pressure. This brings the vascular valves closer together, stimulates the lymphatic system and creates an effective pumping function.

When do you use this product: 

Ideal in rest phases, during transport and at tournaments, after stress phases for accelerated regeneration, between the training sessions, for galls and tarnished legs, tendon problems and mud.
