Direct answer: The Stick & Move™ bundle is a practical way to keep equine kinesiology tape available for training, travel, and show routines. The value is not simply having more rolls. It is having enough tape to prepare carefully, follow the correct placement guidance, and replace a poor application instead of trying to make it work.

What to check before taping

  • The horse is moving comfortably enough for the planned activity.
  • The skin is intact, clean, dry, and free of irritation.
  • The application matches current product guidance.
  • You know when the tape should be removed.

A better application routine

  1. Brush and clean the area, then let it dry fully.
  2. Measure and cut the strip before removing the backing.
  3. Round the corners and avoid touching the adhesive.
  4. Apply the anchors without pulling them tight.
  5. Use only the tension and placement described in current guidance.
  6. Observe the horse in hand before returning to work.

Do not use tape to cover up a problem

Tape should not be used over broken or irritated skin, or as a reason to ride through unexplained lameness, heat, swelling, or pain. Contact your veterinarian when the concern is severe, worsening, or unclear.

Removal and storage

Remove tape slowly in the direction of hair growth while supporting the skin. Store unused rolls clean and dry, away from heat and direct sun. Replace damaged or contaminated tape rather than applying it.

Show-day reminder

Rules can change by discipline and governing body. Check the current rulebook before using tape in competition.
