{"product_id":"eft-thoracic-sling-support","title":"EFT Thoracic Sling Support","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe horse carries over 60% of its body weight on the front end — and most horses are never properly conditioned to shift that weight back. The result is a heavy forehand, reduced agility, compromised self-carriage, and over time, the injuries that come from asking an underconditioned horse to perform maneuvers it doesn’t have the strength to support. This 54-minute course teaches the proprioceptive taping application that targets the thoracic sling muscle group — shoulders, core, chest (pectorals), and neck — encouraging the front end to lift, the core to engage, and the hind end to rock back and under. It is a foundational piece of the three-application collection system and one of the most important conditioning tools in the EquiTecs library. Built for owners, practitioners, trainers, and competitors across all disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e54-Minute Digital Course — Lifetime Access via EquiTecs App\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it is:\u003c\/strong\u003e Step-by-step proprioceptive protocol for the thoracic sling muscle group — ideal for front-end lightness, self-carriage, topline conditioning, and injury prevention.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you get:\u003c\/strong\u003e Instant, on-demand video instruction + application demo.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow it works:\u003c\/strong\u003e EquiTecs 4-Way Tape is applied in a proprioceptive pattern targeting the thoracic sling — the shoulders, core, pectorals, and neck. The tape’s energy return provides a continuous cue with every movement: encouraging the front end to lift, the core to engage, and the body weight to shift back toward the hind end. When the horse is in correct position, the tape is at ease. When the horse loads the forehand or drops the front end, the recoil signals the body to return. This cannot cause discomfort, cannot be overused, and continues working long after the training session ends.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anytime, on any device.
