Why isn't my tape sticking this week?

We've all been there. You prep your horse, apply your EquiTecs tape, and... it comes off. What gives?

Did you know that winter coat changes, the amount of stretch, and taping your horse in the short position can make all the difference? Our top tip: make sure your horse is in a neutral or long position, and less stretch on the tape is way more effective. And always use a clean, dry microfiber cloth (or a little rubbing alcohol) before taping!

What makes 4-way stretch tape unique? 🐴

Science tells us that a horse’s skin, fascia, and muscle layers move in every direction with every stride. Most tapes only stretch lengthwise. But EquiTecs 4-way stretch tape is engineered for true multidirectional support—mirroring the way your horse actually moves.

Here’s how it works. Research shows that structural support and decompression need both lengthwise and widthwise flexibility to stabilize joints without restricting natural motion. Our EFT 4-way tape does just that, supporting fetlocks, hocks, and stifles through every jump, turn, and gallop.

The result? Confident movement, less risk of strain, and happier horses. Plus, our wave-pattern, latex-free adhesive grips hair (not skin), so there’s no irritation—just reliable performance you can trust.

Ready to see the difference for yourself? Order now for mid-December shipping and give your horse the support only science-backed taping can offer. Order now to get it before Christmas.

🎁 FREE ACCESS: The New EquiTecs Functional Taping Education is Here—And It's Yours to Explore This Holiday Season

If you were part of our Basic Course or Certification program before our rebrand, we've got a gift for you: **complete free access** to the newly redesigned EquiTecs education. No strings. No catch. Just our way of saying thank you.

Here's why this matters:

Our education isn't just updated—it's been completely re-created from the ground up, backed by rigorous scientific research and months of development. We didn't just tweak what existed; we rebuilt it to reflect everything we've learned about equine biomechanics, functional taping science, and what truly works in the field.

To support this education, we've created the most extensive and comprehensive textbook in equine functional taping—a resource that stands alone as a reference guide or pairs perfectly with the courses. This isn't light reading; it's the foundation of what makes our modality different.

**What Our Early Access Students Are Saying:**

"This is the next evolution in equine healthcare."

"The best education I've been a part of in more than 40 years."

"It's the missing piece."

Trainers and horse owners are already using the prevention protocols to cut vet bills and boost their horses' performance. They're not waiting for problems—they're building resilience.

This holiday season, while everyone else is in a food coma trying to sell you something, we're inviting you to invest in yourself. Not your wallet—your education. Your knowledge. Your ability to help your horse thrive.

Spend this season learning why our students are calling Functional Taping the game-changer it truly is. Whether you're a horse owner wanting to prevent costly issues or a practitioner ready to expand your toolkit, this education is a gift that will last a lifetime.

Your free access is waiting. Explore it. Learn it. Live it.

Ever wondered why your tape won’t stick? 🐴

You’ve prepped your horse, followed the guide, but that blue tape just peels right off the back—sound familiar?

Here’s a quick fix: 99.9% of people overstretch the tape when applying it to the back. Tape your horse's back with paper off stretch when your horse is eating off the ground, and watch that tape hold on for weeks.

Still having trouble? Drop your taping questions below, or show us your best (or worst) tape jobs—we’re here to help you troubleshoot every step.

Most people assume horses “don’t feel as much” as humans because their skin looks thicker. The research says the opposite—and it changes how we should think about taping.
RESEARCH → TECHNIQUE → OUTCOME
RESEARCH

A 2020 comparative study found no meaningful difference in epidermal nerve counts between horses and humans, and very similar thickness of the pain-detecting epidermal layer (horses: 31.6 µm; humans: 26.8 µm). [PubMed 2020]
Yes, horses have a thicker dermis overall, but that doesn’t make them less sensitive at the surface. Multiple sources describe horses as “very sensitive at the cutaneous level,” potentially up to 10x more sensitive than humans because of richer mechanoreceptor density. [Equine Dermatology, 2019; PubMed 2020]
So no—your horse is not “tougher” than you. If anything, they’re more honest about what they feel.
TECHNIQUE

Here’s where EFT Equine Functional Taping breaks away from human-based kinesiology taping:
• Human tapes are designed to sit directly on skin.
• EFT tape is designed to work primarily through the hair coat.
In most EFT applications, the tape is interacting with the hair, not glued down onto bare skin. That means:
• Less risk of blisters, rashes, and skin stripping like we see in human taping.
• We can safely use elastic behavior closer to what the skin itself can tolerate.
Our tape is engineered to be as elastic as healthy skin (around a 200% ratio), with a different wave pattern and adhesive chemistry so it can:
• Grip the hair shaft effectively
• “Give way” under overload instead of tearing skin
• Maintain consistent recoil over several days
OUTCOME

In years of field use and research, we’ve only seen a single horse immediately remove tape due to irritation—despite working with highly sensitive, high-performance, and compromised horses.
What this means in real life:
• You can use tape as a precise neurosensory and fascial tool, not a brute-force bandage.
• You can respect how sensitive horses actually are, while still getting meaningful, long-lasting effects.
• The “limitations” that exist in human taping (skin irritation, blistering, adhesive overload) are not the same when you design a tape and a modality specifically for horses.
Clinical note: We still monitor for irritation, keep working tension at or below ~30%, and respect individual sensitivity. But we’re no longer fighting against the biology—we’re working with it. [Clinical Veterinary Advisor, 2021]
EFT wasn’t created as a rebranded human taping system. It was built from the ground up around equine skin, hair, and nervous system research—so the tape, the technique, and the outcomes all line up with how horses actually function.
