The right tool, used well, can make a real difference to how a horse develops over time. CORE by D is designed to be that tool, an elegant everyday saddle pad and a focused training aid in one, built to support the long-term strength, balance, and soundness of the horse.
A single clip attaches the elastic bands to the pad, providing a gentle proprioceptive cue that encourages the horse to engage the core and hindquarter muscles during movement. The bands don’t force a frame, they offer a suggestion, and the horse responds to it on its own. Research on this category of elastic resistance band systems, including a study from the Royal Veterinary College, has shown improvements in dynamic stability of the thoracolumbar region during trot.¹
Built for everyday use, and for the moments that matter
CORE by D works as a quiet, well-made saddle pad in daily riding, and transforms into a training system when you want to focus on strength, symmetry, or rehabilitation work. No complicated setup. Attach the bands when you need them, remove them when you don’t.
Why riders choose CORE by D
- Two tools in one. A refined everyday saddle pad and a purpose-built training aid, in a single system.
- Supports core strength and stability. Activates the muscle groups that underpin posture, balance, and long-term soundness.
- Simple to use. Clip-on bands that attach and release in seconds. No harnesses, no rigging.
- Built to last. Quality materials, quick-dry underside, and durable elastic bands designed for daily use over years, not weeks.
A thoughtful addition to a well-structured programme
CORE by D isn’t a shortcut. It’s an addition to good horsemanship, suited to daily training, preparation for competition, and (with veterinary guidance) rehabilitation. It works best when paired with varied movement, appropriate groundwork, and close attention to the individual horse.
About CORE by D
CORE by D was developed in collaboration with veterinarians and trainers for horse owners who take their horses’ long-term development seriously. The goal is not complexity, but quality: a well-made system that supports the kind of patient, consistent work that builds a strong, balanced, sound horse over time.
