Heart condition: It is advised the EQU StreamZ should not be used on any horse diagnosed with a medical heart condition. It is advised that you seek professional medical advice prior to using on a horse diagnosed with a heart condition. It is thought that this regulation is in place as some horses are now fitted with pacemakers; which should not be placed near any magnetic device.

Sensitive skin: Some animals (particularly white haired horses, or horses with allergic contact dermatitis) may find the neoprene too sensitive to place against the skin. StreamZ bands can be placed above other materials and be as effective, so a few layers of vet wrap/bandage can be placed around the leg before the bands are fitted if required. If you notice any discomfort or discolouration on the skin within the first 24hrs then remove the bands. If problems persist then the neoprene bands should be removed completely. 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.

Due to advertising regulations in the UK, mentioning specific conditions can be in breach of regulations. As such, no medical claim is made as to the purpose for which the bands are used. Please consult your veterinary professional if you require medical advice.

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 complimentary device and should never replace prescribed medications or treatments. As with prescribed medications StreamZ does not offer a guarantee on the intended results.

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.

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 24/7.

EQU StreamZ are designed to be used in most weather conditions however “24/7 use” refers to the technology and does not indicate the bands can be left on in all weather conditions or whilst out hacking. When the ground is soft and the horse is turned out the bands should be placed above the fetlock joint and out of the soft ground.

Care and attention and a level of common-sense is required for the bands to last; as with any other tack product.

See care details below to help prolong their use.

Ensure the horses legs are clean and dry before fitting. 

StreamZ advertise the EQU bands as “24/7 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 24/7 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 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 every couple of weeks using only cold water. 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.

Where and when to wear the bands: The EQU bands are developed to be used pre or post exercise and not to be used in active work (there is slight movement under the fetlock joint). The EQU bands should be completely removed or worn above the fetlock in soft ground conditions, further still if the ground is soft enough to allow the bands to be submerged then the bands should be removed and only used when turned in. In wet/muddy conditions it is advised to remove them completely to avoid the bands being submerged and make sure the bands are fitted evenly ensuring that the Velcro hooks cannot touch the horses skin. Lost bands are not covered under warranty and single bands are not available for purchase.

Advice: If the horse is ‘turned in’ we advise that the bands are placed below the fetlock (around the pastern); the artery is slightly closer to the outside of the skin under the fetlock joint. If the horse is ‘turned out’ then we would advise that the bands are placed above the fetlock joint (around the cannon bone). We recommend that the bands are placed on the near fore and off hind legs, no matter what the purpose of use, although it generally makes little difference

ABOVE Fetlock – use when turned out in soft ground conditions or whilst in light work.
BELOW Fetlock – use below fetlock when turned in or on box rest. (Slightly better reaction when placed below, but movement is found below the fetlock)

Tip: We have a horse who we like to turn out with his bands on, even if it’s wet. We also noticed that when alone he would often get his teeth under the bands and rip them off. We caught him peering through the hedge like nature detectives. We solved this issue by tricking him! We now put his bands on him, whilst making him look the other way, and then wrap a few layers of vet wrap over the top. He’s none the wiser, and the bands stay on!
