Reining

Reining is a Western Riding competition for horses where the riders guide the horses through a precise pattern of circles, spins, and stops. All work is done at the lope (a slow, relaxed version of the horse gait more commonly known worldwide as the canter) and gallop; the fastest of the horse gaits. Reining horses require great agility and co-ordination, excellent reflexes, stamina and a capacity for sudden bursts of speed.

Reining horses can develop stress and strain in the back and hindquarters, as well as the entire length of the hind legs. The hocks are especially affected since these horses are required to perform spectacular sliding stops that put more stress on these areas.

Common recorded problems related to Reining horses that Equissage can help with are;
  • Tense and reactive to pain in the lumbarsacral region
  • Increasing heeling time from sacroiliac ligament strain/sprain
  • Stiffness in base of neck – decreasing take off and stride length
  • Muscle fatigue, atrophy and dehydration

Equissage is a safe, easy to use, natural, non-aggressive and non-invasive way to effectively warm up and cool down your horse, prevent common issues, improve performance and maintain your horse in peak condition.

Voted “Best New Horse Product in the World” in 2000 BETA UK, Reining riders world wide love how Equissage provides a full body workout, equivalent to a 10km walk for their competition horse. Equissage gently penetrates through 4 foot of bone and 2 foot of tissue to provide the following benefits to Reining horses:

  • Increased blood flow, specifically around the joints to decrease the likelihood of injuries, sprains and strains
  • Improved lymphatic drainage to assist in the removal of lactic acid, helping to speed up recovery, reduce fatigue and encourage water consumption
  • Relaxation of the muscles, keeping them soft and supple. Naturally helping to relieve pain, unlock tension and reduce muscle spasm. This also improves flexion and bend
  • Improved joint mobility to assist in control, accuracy and flexibility and improved reaction times to improve performance

Equissage is an essential tool in improving the health and performance of horses in every stable.
