Stübben x EQUI compress – the revolutionary compression system for horses

Over 5 years of research & development – patented – 100% made in Germany

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.
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 & boot comes in, by generating compression at a precisely predetermined position with the required pressure brings the vascular valves closer together, stimulating the lymphatic system and creating an effective pumping function to move toxins away from the muscles to improve recovery.

What exactly does the EQUI compress compression system do?
– Accelerates the removal of metabolic products & decongestion of the extremities
– Fascia stimulation
– Relief of the flexor tendons through optimal pressure
– Compression on the horse’s leg
– No slipping due to anti-slip pump function at rest
– Antibacterial thanks to silver ions & ideal for skin problems
– Cooling effect thanks to CoolBreathe
– Easy-care & stain-resistant (washable at 86 degrees F)

Areas of application:
– Ideal in rest phases, stall rest & light work
– During transport and at competition
– Targeted after stress phases for accelerated regeneration (hard training sessions)
– Horses that easily stock-up
– Tendon problems

Don´t use with:
– open wounds (wound must be covered)
– bacterial infections
– fungal infections
– blood flow disorder
– severe inflammation
– fever
