Advanced Magnetic Horse Bands
EQU STREAMZ HORSEBANDS™
EQU StreamZ Magnetic Horse Bands (One pair)
EQU Streamz® Advanced Magnetic Horse Bands (boots/wraps) introduce a unique approach to the equine complementary therapy market for horses and ponies.
StreamZ fully-adjustable magnetic bands are sold in pairs. The bands wrap comfortably around the cannon bone or pasterns and are ‘one-size-fits all’ (from Mini-Shetlands to Cobs or Shires) and have been developed to provide full-body coverage.
Unlike traditional magnetic horse products StreamZ magnetism does not create a pulse, it spins! This creates significant benefits over more traditional magnetic horse boots or wraps.
Our unique process prevents an increase in temperature allowing the bands to be worn for long periods of time or when the horse is suffering from inflammation or a condition where applying heat should be avoided (such as muscle tears or ligament strains). StreamZ bands can be used through turnout, 24x7, making them extremely easy to use and maintain.
Magnetic therapy has been used for decades to support horses with equine joint issues such as DJD or arthritis, tendon muscle or ligament strains, laminitis, navicular, windgalls, splint injuries, ringbone and much more. Streamz advanced approach take this to another level.
Ideal as complementary device StreamZ can be worn both pre exercise or post competition or operation and provide immediate support when reacting to a horses injury or as a preventative measure to help reduce the risk of injury.
EQU StreamZ are now in bio-degradable packaging and now use the latest injection-moulded hook-and-loop material for durable long term use, so your horse can benefit in all weather conditions.
By joining the ‘StreamZ Family’ your horse will be joining an illustrious team of riders including World and Olympic Champions, influencers, international teams, leading charities and thousands of other customers across the world.

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.
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 2 - 3 years as we are constantly updating the technology as new materials and technologies become available.
Cleaning the bands: The material has a life span as with any aesthetic product such as shoes or clothing.
The product 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 few days using only cold water. Simply remove the StreamZ silicone strips from the open end of the bands (the end next to fastening tongue) to ensure they are clean. Wash by hand, placing the strips somewhere safe. Hand/pat dry and slide the StreamZ strips back into the bands ensuring 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 injection-moulded hooks on the fastening material.
Wear Correctly: Make sure you understand how best to fit the bands. Pay attention to the open-stitched end of each band which 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 strips are unable to be removed or fall out as the strips wrap around the horses leg.
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.
Above or below the joints?: 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!
Equine Joint Conditions in horses
Due to their size and athletic abilities, horses can develop a variety of joint conditions, such as ringbone or degenerative joint disorders. Many horses at some point in their lives will experience joint issues or injuries. With advanced diagnosis technologies (such as MRI and Thermal Imaging) we are now able to fully understand the exact condition and there for help provide the best recovery plan moving forward.
Laminitis in horses
Laminitis is an inflammatory condition of the sensitive layers (laminae) within a horse’s hoof. It is a condition found in horses all year round that can lead to extreme pain and have significant welfare implications to the horse. The condition requires immediate medical intervention and often demands a change to their diet and/or living conditions.
Inflammation in horses
There are a magnitude of reasons why horses can develop forms of inflammation. Horses can develop swelling from simply standing around too long, through a result of a trauma or injury, conditions such as windgalls, or due to an underlying health issue. There are various techniques used to help inflammation including anti-inflammatory medications, natural techniques and even applying cold water.
Tendon, ligament and muscle injuries in horses
As large animals, many of which lead an active lifestyle, it can be common to experience splint injuries or tendon, ligament or muscle injuries in their legs and feet. As with many injuries and conditions in horses, technology now provides a valuable insight into the exact injury. Rest and recovery times can be extensive with many muscle or ligament type injury.
Navicular in horses
Navicular, a complicated part of the horses hoof, is a commonly found ‘problem-area' for horse owners to manage (particularly in older horses). Navicular issues in horses can require extensive and ongoing support.
Hoof problems in horses
Hoof injuries can quickly lead to lameness, cause pain and discomfort in your horse and potentially lead to retirement. Thus, a key role in looking after your horse and maintaining their ongoing wellbeing is to ensure your horses feet are well-kept.

StreamZ for Horses
EQU StreamZ magnetic horse bands introduce a new technique in magnetism for horses – non invasive 360º resonance technology.
Traditional magnetism has been used for many years within the equestrian community often found stitched into boots or rugs. Magnetic therapy has claimed to support conditions such as joint conditions, ligament or muscle injuries, laminitis, navicular, splint injuries, ringbone, windgalls and many more equine health conditions. Their pulsating magnetic process has achieved limited clinical support and the reputation in using these traditional magnetic devices on various horse conditions is mixed.
StreamZ unique low-impact magnetic approach changes how magnetic fields are deployed allowing them to be used for longer periods of time.
Disadvantages in using traditional magnet devices include the inability to leave them on whilst through turn out due to the heat created by their pulsating effect. This increase in temperature prevents their use directly after competing or exercise, limits their application time and can be difficult to manage. StreamZ advanced magnetism is different, it spins!
Suitable for Turnout
EQU StreamZ advanced magnetic horse bands contain a continuous strip of StreamZ magnetised silicone, creating a 360º non invasive energy field which spins around the horses leg.
StreamZ revolutionary approach to magnetism creates no increase in heat and are suitable for use on fetlocks or hocks, both pre or post exercise. StreamZ bands can be worn long-term, 24x7 if required – including through turnout and in most weather conditions.
EQU StreamZ advanced bands are easy to manage and a provide an affordable and long-term solution to support a variety of conditions.
Each pack contains two bands to be worn by one horse; comfortably wrapped around the cannon or pastern bone on either fore or hind legs and worn for a minimum of 8 hours per day.
Although worn around the horse leg, StreamZ unique magnetic technology helps minerals across the system creating the ‘StreamZ effect’ throughout the body and not just to localised areas.
EQU StreamZ Magnetic Horse Bands (One pair)
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.
EQU StreamZ ambassadors include Olympians Gemma Tattersall (Eventing) and Sophie Wells (Para Dressage), International 5* show jumpers such as Trevor Breen and Harriet Nuttall and many other international stars across a variety of equine disciplines including showjumping, eventing, dressage, barrel racing, polo, trick riding, mounting shooting and so on.
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 24/7 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.
