We want Defender Tape to help, not hurt. Here’s how to treat skin like a champ:
If irritation occurs, take off and consult your vet. Avoid use directly over open wounds unless instructed. Defender Tape supports, not substitutes.
Why Choose Defender Tape
Whether it's high-performance training or turnout recovery, Equine Defender™ gives you taped support that stretches, breathes, and stays in place under wraps and light boots.
How It’s Built
How to Apply
Clean and dry the area. Trim excess hair if needed for better adhesion.
Cut the strip to the needed length, rounding the corners to reduce lift.
Peel backing, stretch tape 20–30% over the target area, then press firmly across the length.
Rub gently to heat the adhesive and lock it in. Cover with light wrap or boot as needed.
Built for Movement
| Feature | Defender Tape | Traditional Wraps |

| Durability | Clings through sweat & turnout | Shifts or slides, needs daily re-wrap |
| Time | Quick cut-and-stuck application | Time-consuming to wrap reliably |
| Residue | No sticky residue; removes clean | Can leave layers or fibers behind |
