Back problems in horses are no longer isolated cases—they have become a sad reality in the everyday lives of many riders. A sagging back, tense fascia, and shortened muscles: the so-called "suspension bridge" is widespread and leads to serious problems.

❌ Tactics, rideability problems and unwillingness?
❌ Muscle tension, kissing spines or even lameness?
❌ Compensation instead of healthy exercise?

All of this can have its origins in one central issue: a lack of functional posture . Only with an actively supported spine—the so-called arched bridge —can your horse move healthily and powerfully.


✅ The solution: HIP-Star stretching wheels – impulses that work

The HIP-Star stretching wheel was developed by experts in veterinary medicine, osteopathy, and physiotherapy – for simple, effective, and gentle application directly on the horse.

How it works:

🌀 Gentle fascia stimulation – without scratching or force
📍 Targeted impulses at three key points:

  • Chest → Activates the straightening of the back

  • Neck & base of neck → Promotes relaxation

  • Pelvic region → Supports the carrying capacity of the hindquarters

🎯 The result:

  • ✔️ Relaxation and functional posture

  • ✔️ Improved rideability and rhythm

  • ✔️ Greater well-being – physically and mentally
