USAGE

It facilitates work with the horse in the stable after hernia surgery, or with post-operative complications associated with the possibility of a hernia.

In addition, compared to the recovery colic belt, the belt has a so-called pocket for a special breathable foam in the abdominal area, which distributes point pressure and the weight of the growing hernia to the area. It helps to retract and fill the hole for the emerging hernia.

It also has a protective function in the demanding stable environment. It prevents the omnipresent dust and intrusive insects from penetrating the wound.

The compressive function strengthens the abdominal wall and prevents the formation of edema of soft tissues around the wound. The anatomical shape of the bandage represents comfort for the horse when worn 24/7. The bandage is comfortable for the horse, soft and the materials used are fully breathable.

Use is recommended for 2 to 3 months after surgery and you can gradually transition to using a recovery hernia or colic riding belt.

Our offer for stable belt owners: When you buy this belt, you get a 20% discount on a follow-up recovery hernia or colic riding belt, which is allowed to be used at races.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Before putting on the belt, unfasten the Velcro and fold the shoulder part of the belt like an accordion.
• Pull the prepared belt over the horse's head and neck.
• Then start adjusting the belt on the shoulders, withers and gradually back down the spine.
• Check that the belt is taut to its maximum length to the hips.
• We recommend 2 people to fasten the belt under the horse's belly, so that the belt does not shift and the position of the belt on the spine is not tilted. Tighten the belt gradually.
• Velcro hooks should never touch the horse's skin.
• Double check the tightness of the safety belt.
