BENEFITS

Training

A key effect of elastic resistance training is a measured improvement to the animal’s endurance, coordination, and strength in movement. The four interconnected bands of ProSix enhance proprioception, create increased awareness to muscle movements and posture, and reinforce security and confidence in the horse as it trains, exercises, and reconditions. Improvements in the horse’s structure and movement are sustained as the horse builds strength to maintain these improvements. ProSix will help you build a better horse.

Reconditioning

There are many reasons to consider starting a reconditioning program for your horse. For all the reasons we have mentioned in previous sections, ProSix is a safe, effective way to begin. Starting your new program with ProSix means you begin by encouraging straightness and a more upright posture. These are two huge components that are addressed immediately. The ultimate goal should be to have a more balanced horse with ProSix.

Rehabilitation

ProSix can be very instrumental in jump starting most rehabilitation programs by it’s ability to help your horse by simply wearing it. It can be used during stall rest and supervised turnout for limited amounts of time with gradual progression. While the ProSix is being worn, he is reminded of proprioception, posture, weight bearing and comforted by the effect of deep touch pressure from the elastic.

Strength Training

ProSix builds overall strength through resistance training produced by the horse’s movement. ProSix use builds muscle, reduces fat, and improves connective tissue. Wearing ProSix at a walk is a beneficial low-impact exercise for improved flexibility and range of motion with less stress on joints and muscles. ProSix builds core strength and supports the back with a wide abdominal band to encourage lift and support, as the rear band produces hind end engagement.

Proprioception Improvements

ProSix was named for its ability to improve proprioception! ProSix is the only product that improves communication between the central nervous system and all parts of the body. ProSix stimulates proprioception to provide stability, maintain balance, and improve posture, agility, and movement control.

Balance Adjustments

ProSix helps a horse to balance both physically and mentally. The supportive framing of the wide, knitted elastic bands surrounding the horse encourages correct posture, straightness, and more even weight distribution between all four feet. The deep touch pressure provided is calming, and reduces stress and anxiety.
