Equilibrium Stretch and Flex Flatwork Wraps - New Style

The Equilibrium Stretch and Flex Flatwork Wraps have been re-designed for Fall 2023, and made better than ever. With improvements that take these best selling boots to the next level. The original dressage wrap, reinvented. Soft, comfortable breathable schooling boots. Flexible schooling wraps designed to be comfortable and breathable, offering gentle support and protection from brushing

Features:

• Useful for horses and ponies recovering from injuries, those with joint problems such as arthritis, and in providing gentle cushioning over scars and splints.
• Offers the support of a bandage, with the convenience of a boot.
• Protects against minor knocks and scrapes without restriction.
• Extremely soft and comfortable.
• Made from unique breathable Stomatex that regulates the skin temperature during work.
• Thick cushioned panels protect fetlock joints and splint bones.

The Stretch and Flex Flatwork Wraps are not just for dressage or schooling, but can be used for hacking, lunging, showing, endurance and carriage driving. They are the choice of many top riders; from dressage riders Judy Harvey and Jo Hamilton to event riders, Sam Griffiths and Jock Paget.

2023 Updates:

• New version of Stomatex material.
• Automotive Grade Spacer Mesh Layer - Perforated neoprene layer has been replaced with automotive grade spacer mesh, which is typically used on car seats to increase comfort for the driver. This material has been developed to keep its cushioning even after decades of use.
• An additional layer of orange jersey fabric is attached to the spacer mesh panel for an even softer feel against the horse's leg.
• The Training Wrap has a new even closer fit around the fetlock due to specialist tailoring pattern cutting techniques used for this new construction
• Protective matt vinyl has been added to the straps for strength.

How Stomatex® Works

A revolutionary, unusual-looking, material. The material itself mimics the way a leaf ‘breathes’which keeps the skin free from perspiration and maintains an ideal skin temperature over an extended period of time.

The way the material works is by efficiently moving trapped vapormolecules from beneath the fabric by the flexing action of minute dome-shaped chambers which contain a tiny pore in the center Stomatex replicates how a plant’s stomata transpire and passes vapor from inside the leaf to the atmosphere.

The chambers create a self-contained micro-climate, allowing cooler, drier air to pass through at a controlled rate, and the material works as hard as you and your horse are working to maintain this constant condition. This technology is based on the laws of thermodynamics and diffusion – that heat will always transfer from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature and that, in an attempt to regain equilibrium, water vapor will tend to move from a region of higher density to a region of lower density. This process means that Stomatex can overcome the problems of perspiration and over-heating traditionally associated with the use of closed-cell foam materials such as traditional neoprene.
