VETOFLEX RECOVERY BELT: RIDING - COLIC

This belt is intended for horses who are coming back to work under saddle. We recommend using it for both riding and lungeing. This belt supports the horse's core protecting the abdominal muscles during fast movements or unexpected jolts. The belt does not impact the horse‘s reaction to the rider‘s aids due to the materials used. Horses work comfortably in this belt thanks to its anatomical shape and soft, breathable material. 

Belts are produced in various standardized sizes such as EXTRA FULL, FULL, and COB.

How to pick a recovery belt?

Individual types differ from each other in waist circumference and vest size.
Depending on the measuring results select either FULL, COB or EXTRA FULL.

If necessary, an individual solution is possible with an additional charge of 30%.
