Cross canter. Picking up the wrong lead. Not wanting to canter at all. Bucking. Crow hopping. Bad behavior under saddle. Feeling weak behind. These are not training problems — they are often SI instability presenting as behavior. Most people never recognize what SI instability looks like, so they try to train it away, or they end up on a cycle of SI injections that treat the symptom without stabilizing the joint. This 35-minute course teaches why the sacroiliac joint is so vulnerable, how instability cascades into compensatory issues throughout the body, and how targeted EFT taping stabilizes the SI joint to create the homeostatic environment the body needs to heal — and stay healed. Built for owners, practitioners, trainers, and rehab professionals.
35-Minute Digital Course — Lifetime Access via EquiTecs App
What it is: Step-by-step protocol for SI joint stabilization — ideal for injury recovery, performance, behavioral issues rooted in SI instability, and as an alternative to ongoing SI injections.
What you get: Instant, on-demand video instruction + application demo.
How it works: EquiTecs 4-Way Tape is engineered with energy return — as the horse moves, the tape stores and releases energy back into the tissue. This reduces how hard the SI joints and surrounding soft tissue have to work during motion, providing active biomechanical support rather than passive compression. The result is a stabilized pelvis that can begin to heal, stop compensating, and restore normal movement and behavior.
Access: Anytime, on any device. Lifetime included.

Is This the Right Application?
Consider SI Support if your horse: Cross canters, picks up the wrong lead, refuses or struggles to canter, bucks or crow hops under saddle, feels weak or uneven behind, shows behavioral resistance that started gradually
SI instability is frequently missed — vets and trainers often chase the symptom rather than the source. This application stabilizes the joint so the body can heal rather than continuing to compensate
For SI injections: This application can be used alongside injections. The injection would be used for the immediate relief, and the taping would be used to create the homeostatic position to stop the injury cycle while you do PT on the soft tissue around the joints.
Application: What & Why
What: Targets the sacroiliac joint for stabilization — reducing compensatory issues, restoring normal movement, and addressing behavioral symptoms rooted in pelvic instability
Why: The SI joint is the junction between the spine and the pelvis — when it’s unstable, nothing downstream works properly. Stabilizing it creates the homeostatic environment the body needs to heal and stops the cascade of compensatory loading that leads to further injury
Unique Clinical Notes
Most common mistakes: overstretching, poor placement, not relaxing the muscles around the pelvis during application
SI instability is frequently overlooked — behavioral and performance symptoms are often the first sign
SI stabilization encourages longer, restorative sleep and boosts athletic confidence
For fractures or chronic instability, layer tape for extra support
Pair with Hamstring Relaxation application for exponential results in chronic cases
If SI taping isn’t fully resolving issues, the root cause may also involve the lumbar region — consider adding Lumbar Support
Common Questions
How do I access? Instantly via the EquiTecs App on any device. Lifetime access included.
What do I need? EquiTecs 4-Way EFT Tape (sold separately), clean/dry SI region, and 35 minutes.
How does it work? The tape’s energy return actively supports the SI joint during motion — reducing load, stabilizing the pelvis, and creating the conditions for healing and restored movement.
Is it safe? Yes — tape is engineered for horse hair and designed to give way if misapplied.
Markers of Success

Willingness to canter and reduced bucking or crow hopping
Greater stability, confidence, and evenness behind
Immediate relaxation responses (licking, chewing, yawning, deep breathing)
Longer lay-down sleep periods
Tape stays secure — no bunching or peeling
