Equine Functional Taping Basic Course — Horse Owners

This course was created for one reason: to help horse owners handle more at the barn and spend less on emergency vet bills. Three of the most needed, most used applications in equine care — fetlock support, circulation, and muscle relaxation — taught in full, with the clinical foundation to understand not just how to apply the tape but why it works. At $45.99, the content in this course doesn’t come close to matching the price. But the goal was never to maximize revenue — it was to get more horses taped, more owners confident, and more money staying in your pocket where it belongs.

This is also the essential starting point for the entire EquiTecs system. The Application Library has over 30 protocols — but without the Basics Course, you’re starting at chapter three of a book without reading chapters one and two. The Basics teaches you how to think about taping: how to choose the right tape, how to prep correctly, how to apply with the right stretch, and how to know if it’s working. Every application in the library builds on that foundation. Built for horse owners, riders, and equine professionals at any level — no prerequisites required.

• Built for real-world horses: works with hair, sweat, dust, heat, and movement — not repurposed human kinesiology rules
