Defender Tape is designed to support without irritation. A few simple steps help maintain healthy skin throughout use.
If the skin shows irritation, remove the tape and contact your veterinarian. Do not apply directly over open wounds unless your vet advises it. Defender Tape assists recovery but does not replace professional care.
Why Choose Defender Tape
Whether your horse is training hard or easing back after time off, Equine Defender brings reliable support without the fight. A tape that stretches when it should, stays where you place it, and keeps the horse moving freely.
How It’s Built
How to Apply
Clean and dry the area. Remove loose dirt and trim excess hair for a smooth, confident bond.
Measure and cut the strip you need. Round the corners to help prevent lift during movement.
Peel the backing and apply with twenty to thirty percent stretch over the targeted zone. Press firmly along the full length.
Warm the adhesive with a light rub. Add a soft wrap or boot when the ride calls for extra protection.
Built for Movement
| Feature | Defender Tape | Traditional Wraps |
|---|---|---|

| Durability | Maintains adhesion through sweat and turnout | Shifts or loosens and often needs frequent rewraps |
| Time | Quick cut to fit and apply | Slower to apply consistently and correctly |
| Residue | Clean release with no lingering residue | Often leaves fibers or pressure lines behind |

Equine Defender Kinesiology Tape supports targeted zones, stays in place during movement, and removes cleanly. These answers cover how to apply it, when to use it, and what to expect from each session.
Most placements hold twenty four to forty eight hours depending on sweat, turnout, and workload. If edges begin to lift, remove the tape and prepare the area again before reapplying.
Yes. The adhesive is designed to stay in place under light protection such as sport boots or polos. Ensure no wrinkles form under the boot to keep pressure consistent.
The adhesive is strong but releases cleanly when removed slowly in the direction of hair growth. Using a small amount of baby oil during removal reduces pull on sensitive areas.
Yes, but always patch test first. Trim long hair and ensure the area is clean and fully dry to reduce friction. If irritation appears, remove the tape and consult your veterinarian.
Common placements include fetlocks, pasterns, knees, hocks, stifles, backs, and withers. The tape reinforces natural movement patterns while encouraging steady muscle response.
