PROPERTIES

Reconvalescent, or recovery abdominal belts, have been developed in cooperation with the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Clinic of Horse Diseases in Brno.

The use of post-operative belts has a positive effect on the horse's recovery and subsequent return to sport. They significantly facilitate patient care. They have several functions: first of all, they protect the wound in the demanding environment of stables - this is the omnipresent dust and intrusive insects, compressive - they strengthen the abdominal wall and prevent the formation of edema of soft tissues around the wound. The anatomical shape of the bandages represents comfort for the horse when worn 24/7. The belts are comfortable for the horse, soft and the materials used are fully breathable. The bandages are easily washed and disinfected in a regular washing machine. High temperatures and disinfectants do not have a negative effect on materials even with frequent treatment.

Recommendation:

We recommend using it for 2 to 3 months after the operation, in case of pregnant mares we use the belt until delivery. The mare gives birth in it and we use it even afterwards.

Belts are produced in various standardized sizes such as EXTRA FULL, FULL, and COB. Pony and Foal options are available upon request

We offer both belts in stable and riding variant.

When the horse returns to normal mode, we recommend alternating the stable recovery belt with the riding belt. Take advantage of the opportunity to purchase a package of both belt variants at a discounted price (20% discount on the riding belt when buying both belts).

Makes the work with the horse easier in the stable after a colic surgery.

Above all, it has a protective function in the demanding environment of stables. It prevents the omnipresent dust and intrusive insects from penetrating the wound.

The compressive function strengthens the abdominal wall and prevents the formation of soft tissue edema around the wound. The anatomical shape of the bandage represents comfort for the horse when worn 24/7. The bandage is comfortable for the horse, soft and the materials used are fully breathable.

Usege is recommended for 2 to 3 months after surgery and you can gradually transition to using a recovery riding belt.

Our offer for the belt owners: When you buy a boxing belt, you get a 20% discount on the continuation recovery riding belt, which is also allowed to be used at races.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

• Before putting on the belt, unfasten the Velcro and fold the shoulder part of the belt like an accordion.
• Pull the prepared belt over the horse's head and neck.
• Then start adjusting the belt on the shoulders, withers and gradually back down the spine.
• Check that the belt is taut to its maximum length to the hips.
• We recommend 2 people to fasten the belt under the horse's belly, so that the belt does not shift and the position of the belt on the spine is not tilted. Tighten the belt gradually.
• Velcro hooks should never touch the horse's skin.
• Double check the tightness of the safety belt.

• The protective belt is machine washable at 60C, ideally using a soap solution and gentle washing cycle.
• Do not use bleaching agents. It is also not recommended to use fabric conditioners as they can create a film on the yarn preventing direct contact between the product surface and skin.
• Wash with all fastenings done, including all Velcros, to prevent possible damage to the fabric.
