❌ The problem
Back problems are a sad reality for horses today. Shortened muscles, tense fascia, a sagging back – the so-called "suspension bridge" is an everyday occurrence for many horses.
- ❗ Tactical errors, unwillingness, ridability issues
- ❗ Muscle tension, Kissing Sp Spines, lameness
- ❗ Compensation instead of healthy exercise
👉 A lack of functional spinal erection – no arched bridge, but muscular imbalance.
No more tension, poor posture and loss of performance!
Many horses today suffer silently from tension, back pain, and poor posture.
A dropped rib cage, a stiff back, a tilted pelvis, or an overextended hindquarters lead to unrideability, uneven gaits, resistance during riding, or even lameness. The cause usually lies in a disturbed interaction of muscles, joints, and movement patterns – often due to incorrect training, old habits, or compensatory postures.
The HIP-Star Stretching Wheel gently helps your horse return to its natural, healthy posture. It specifically activates back and abdominal muscles, promotes self-carriage and suppleness – and visibly brings your horse into balance.
Discover natural freedom of movement for your horse
With the HIP-Star stretching wheel, you can help your horse gently release tension and find a healthy, self-supporting posture . This unique training tool was developed in collaboration with veterinarians and allows the horse to specifically straighten its ribcage and pelvis.
By specifically activating the back and abdominal muscles, not only is mobility improved, but also carrying capacity and balance are strengthened. The result: a relaxed back, a free hindquarters, and a horse that moves visibly more comfortably.
Application in 4 steps
Activate ribcage
Apply the wheel in a rolling motion below the shoulder blade – this activates the lifting of the rib cage and arches the back.
Relax your neck
Gently stroke the underside of the neck base – this helps the horse to drop and relax its neck.
Tilt the pelvis
Roll down over the croup – activates the hindquarters and encourages pelvic movement.
Integrate
After application, lead or lunge for 1-2 minutes at a walk so that the horse can assimilate the new body sensation.
