HOW TO USE

ProSix is assembled to show you HOW it will look: it is not adjusted to fit your horse.

Our new tutorial video is on the QR code tag on your canvas tote bag. We also have a fitting guide. 

1. Introduce your horse to the sound of the velcro opening and closing at areas of adjustment.
2. Open the hip tensioners on both sides first, before pulling over the butt.
3. Check both near and far sides of the horse, (L and R), for symmetrical fit.
4. ProSix should be snug but never tight, and easily pulled away from the horse.  

Take photos of your horse wearing its ProSix and text them to our phones, or email to info@eagleprosix.com for fitting suggestions. Please include sides, front, and rear views.

ProSix is the ONLY rehabilitation/training resistance band system that connects the whole horse!

Give your horse a minimum of 15 minutes to process this new information, and relax with no instruction or interruption. The horse should be free to move in a stall or a small turnout.  ProSix acts on mechanoreceptors located in hair, skin, and muscle, stimulating the neurological system throughout the body to provide a complete message to the brain, enhancing proprioceptive awareness and improving coordinated motor output throughout the whole horse. 

Begin slowly and progress slowly with exercise. 

ProSix provides a resistance band workout. It will take time to build strength to support a better posture, improved self-carriage, improved weight distribution and to abandon compensatory patterns. For optimal results, begin with time for your horse to process all the information. give this process a couple of days, minimum. Begin with groundwork at a walk, without a rider, and increase time/effort/speed in minutes per day, (even with a fit horse). Much can be accomplished at a walk, especially when strengthening the supportive muscles of the back! Please stop activity if you see signs of fatigue which may increase risk for strain. Have your horse wear ProSix at liberty, with recommended supervision for excellent results in 15-20 minutes per day. If lunging, please use large circle diameters only, to minimize torque on joints., as the horse practices a more upright self-carriage. We do not recommend use with any additional equipment that restricts or limits movement or forces position. 

Please follow advised activity restrictions from your horse’s health care professionals.

ProSix can be used during stall rest, with handwalking, at liberty or in turnout, on a lunge line, long lines, under or over saddles or bareback pads. Excellent for use before riding, or for warm-up. Reinforce neural pathways with use 1-2 times a week to encourage self-carriage in good posture and balance.

Please use ProSix for farrier and veterinary appointments, trailering, and new environments and challenges where added calming and support is beneficial to the horse.
