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
