Description
EQU StreamZ ® magnetic horse bands introduce a new technique in magnetism – ‘360º resonance technology’ – Advanced magnetism for your horse.
EQU StreamZ magnetism does not pulse, it spins! This unique process prevents an increase in temperature allowing the bands to be worn by the horse immediately after exercise and for long periods of time, including through turnout and 24x7 if required.
Ideal to be used as complementary tack for both pre and post exercise making them perfect for horses at home or competing sports horses. Targets the whole body (not just localised areas) and provides a form of natural inflammation reduction. Suitable on horses diagnosed with navicular, windgalls, laminitis, equine arthritis, joint issues, Ringbone and much more!
The neoprene design fits snuggly around the horses fetlocks or hocks and are recommended to be worn for a minimum of 8hrs per day, but the longer the better!
Each pack contains a pair of adjustable bands to suit all horses, one size fits all. (up to 35cm circumference)
Now supplied in eco-friendly biodegradable packaging and using the latest hook-and-loop fastening material for durable outside-use. (Sleeves updated in July 2022)
By joining the ‘StreamZ Family’ your horse will be joining an illustrious bunch including World and Olympic Champions, international teams, leading charities and thousands of other customers across the world.
Please read the ‘Medical Warnings’ and ‘Care Instructions’ prior to purchase.

Medical Warnings
Heart condition?: EQU StreamZ should not be worn on any horse diagnosed with a medical heart condition without seeking medical advice beforehand.
Sensitive skin?: Some animals, particularly greys (white haired horses) or horses with allergic contact dermatitis, may find the neoprene too sensitive to place against the skin. If you notice any discomfort or discolouration on the skin within the first 1 to 24 hours then remove the bands. If problems persist then the neoprene bands should be removed completely.
Note: The StreamZ strips can be removed from the sleeves and wrapped around the horses leg within a bandage/vet wrap - avoiding the use of neoprene.
Cushings?: If your horse has been previously diagnosed with severe Cushings then you may want to speak with a vet prior to use.
StreamZ are a complementary device and should never replace prescribed medications or treatments. As with prescribed medications, StreamZ does not offer any guarantees for the intended purpose of use.
How to Use
Each horse is advised to wear two EQU StreamZ bands (one pair) just above or below the fetlock area, on any two front or hind legs.
Ensure the horses legs are clean before fitting the bands.
If using in soft ground, or on sensitive skinned horses, a few layers of equine tape can be applied around the leg prior to fitting the bands. This can also be beneficial when using the bands in stables using bed shavings.
Make sure at all times that the bands are fitted evenly ensuring that the Velcro fastening hooks cannot touch the horses skin.
The bands should be removed for riding.
Wrap around the leg ensuring they are tight enough to not spin around the leg. Around one fingers width between the horse and the bands will be about right.
The technology is designed to be worn for a minimum of 8 hours a day although results have been reported as significantly greater when used 24x7.
Where and when to wear the bands
ABOVE Fetlock (around the cannon bone) – use when turned out in soft ground conditions or whilst in light work.
BELOW Fetlock (around the pastern) – use below fetlock when turned in or on box rest. (Slightly better reaction when placed below, but movement is found below the fetlock)
If the ground is soft enough to allow the bands to be partially or fully submerged then the bands should be removed. Tape can be used below or above the bands if you do wish to use the product in very muddy weather.
In wet/muddy conditions it is advised to remove the bands completely if the bands will become submerged in use.
The bands can be placed on any two legs; providing 'full-body coverage'.
Care and attention and 'a level of common-sense' is required for the bands to last; as with any other tack product.
Damaged or Lost bands
Lost bands are not covered under warranty and single bands are not available for purchase.
Please note that most horses have the ability to remove the bands. They may have no history in removing tack in the past, but there is a first time for everything. If bands are found damaged or on the floor it is highly likely they have been removed. Our team will be able to advise.
'Turnout strips' are available for a small fee, these are small 10cm badges which fit over the fastening tongue of our horse bands. These are glow-in-the-dark neon yellow and have been developed to strengthen the fastening of the bands and allow them to be found easier if they are removed. Ideal for 'chewers' or horses turned out for long periods of time.
Care Instructions
StreamZ advertise the EQU bands as “24x7 use”. This refers to the technology being able to be worn all day every day, and particularly when the horse is ‘in recovery’. This does not stipulate that bands can be worn 24x7 in all weather conditions, particularly in extremely muddy conditions where the bands may become submerged. Common sense is require for when the horse can and cannot wear the bands.
We recommend updating the bands with new versions every 3 to 4 years. This is because we are constantly updating the technology as new materials and technologies become available. The existing design is roughly 10% stronger in energy than the original invented technology due to updates in the material used within StreamZ silicone.
Cleaning the bands
The material has a life span as with any aesthetic product such as shoes or clothing; it requires care and attention to last 12 months or more, particularly the fastening. To keep the bands as long as possible it is advised that they are washed as often as possible using only cold water and soap only.
Simply remove the StreamZ silicone strips from the open end of the bands (the end next to fastening tongue) and wash by hand or in a machine on a cold hand washing setting and place the strips somewhere safe. Hand/pat dry and slide the StreamZ strips back into the bands, with the ridges/lines on the StreamZ strip facing away from the skin (smooth side facing the skin).
Avoid using warm/hot water at all times as this can damage the hooks on the fastening material.
Pay attention to the open-stitched end of each band. This open stitch allows the removal of the StreamZ magnetic strips for when the user wishes to wash the bands or update the sleeves. Once on a horse the Magnetic strips are unable to be removed as the strips wrap around the horses leg. If Streamz strips are misplaced then this is entirely out of the control of StreamZ and as such free replacements will not be issued.
The fastening within the EQU StreamZ requires a level of maintenance and care.
Warranty is available on defects with the fastening. We have had issues in the past with the material used and updated the material to the strongest on the market to rectify this issue. Proof of purchase will be required for warranty defects, damaged or lost bands are not covered under warranty.

Introducing
StreamZ for Horses
EQU StreamZ magnetic horse bands introduce a new technique to the ever growing magnetic therapy industry for horses – non-invasive 360º resonance technology.
Traditional magnetic therapy has been used for many years within the equestrian community commonly integrated into magnetic horse boots or rugs. Over the years, these traditional magnetic devices have achieved limited clinical support and the reputation in using these traditional techniques to benefit equine health is mixed.
Traditional magnetic technologies produce a thermal reaction in the living system; this reaction can prevent their long term use or their ability to use on horses directly after an injury or when they are rehabilitating.
Magnetic therapy has claimed to support many equine health conditions such as equine joint conditions, ligament or muscle injuries, laminitis, navicular, splint injuries, ringbone, windgalls and much more. Whether you are looking to support your horses mobility, improve their wellbeing or provide a solution to support their ongoing recovery StreamZ has proven within the equine community to be a go-to-product and a world leader in the magnetic therapy industry.
EQU StreamZ bands introduce a groundbreaking low-impact magnetic approach that redefines how magnetic fields are utilised, allowing for extended usage periods including through turnout or extended box rest. Unlike traditional magnetic devices, StreamZ's advanced magnetic technology eliminates the need to remove them during turnout due to no heat being generated from their unique 360º spinning effect.
Extend application times, simplify the management of your horses tack and benefit from StreamZ revolutionary new technology - every step of the way.
Endorsed by the Best
EQU StreamZ are proud to be endorsed by a variety of leading professionals within the equine community, from Olympic champions to budding amateurs EQU StreamZ friends. Used alongside their daily programs and as part of their ongoing management to help keep their horses in tip-top condition, provide joint care and support when travelling.

Our partnerships with sponsored riders are not based on a financial commitment, but a promise to support their horse’s and make a difference.
Unique Magnetic Approach
One disadvantage of using traditional magnetic technology is the limited period of time in which they can be used, often due to the heat created by their pulsating process; when working with several horses or looking to reduce heat using traditional magnetism can be a problem.
StreamZ Advanced Magnetic approach to magnetic fields generates no increase in heat, unlike with traditional magnets found in boots and rugs. This non invasive approach allows the bands to be worn 24x7 including through turnout.
EQU StreamZ bands can be wrapped around either fore or hind legs and above or below the fetlock joint. When turned out for long periods of time the bands should be placed above the fetlock or removed. A few layers of vet-wrap over the top can be used if turned out in soft ground conditions.
Supported Studies
Independent double-blind studies were carried out by a leading equine university. The positive results within these studies has led to further research being commissioned with a variety of partners including universities and equine technology experts. Although supported with clinical studies, StreamZ are unable to claim various and specific benefits due to strict advertising regulations. Anecdotal reviews help ‘spread the word’ but do not represent scientific proof. As a complementary device EQU StreamZ horse bands should be used alongside prescribed medications and not as a substitute.
StreamZ are committed to continuing a range of studies, both clinical and anecdotal, and to help achieve this goal have further studies being arranged to focus on levels of lameness, stride lengths and various ranges of movement.
