Irish wunderkind Bertram Allen and Quiet Easy lost the Grand Prix of Olympia last December because of one. U.S.’s top-ranked dressage rider Steffen Peters was eliminated from the Reem Acra 2015 World Cup Final in Las Vegas when his horse got one. Spur rubs happen to the best of us. Literally.

Heck, you don’t even have to wear spurs to get one! Thin-skinned horses, sensitive horses and those that have recently been clipped can get rubs by mere contact with a rider’s leg. Add hot weather and horse sweat to the equation and it can be a recipe for rubs.

While most of us aren’t going to lose world ranking points or a 25,000 Euro paycheck if it happens to our horse, you could lose riding days, not to mention sleep. No horseman likes to see a rider-induced rub on their horse.

Enter EquiFit’s BellyBand.

Made of breathable, non-neoprene elastic, the BellyBand is like protective sportswear for your horse. The full-coverage band helps guard against rubs and sores around your horse’s girth and sides and prevents accidental injuries. Whether you’re a top professional, like Allen and Peters, or an amateur rider, keeping our horses safe is always a top priority. Plus, it looks rad.

If you’re like Jason, it just may take you a minute, or five, to master putting it on…

Note: This is a product designed for sensitive-skinned horses prone to rubs. It is not a tool to be used as a crutch by riders with an uneducated leg.EquiFit, BellyBand, Spurs, Spur Rubs
