Discover CORE by D – The Training Aid for Your Horse
Are you looking for an effective and fun training method for your horse? Try CORE training aid! CORE helps your horse work in a low, collected form with resistance, which trains the muscles in the back and abdomen while helping the horse learn to find its own balance and strength.
- Effective Training: Provides an effective and challenging workout in a shorter time.
- Versatile Use: Easy to use for both lunging and riding.
- Complete Package: Includes an exclusive saddle pad and elastic bands with buckles and clips.
- High Quality: Made with high quality and durability.
- Comfortable High-Quality Material: The bands are specially designed for horses and are twice as thick, wide, and durable as many competitors', with a comfortable texture and feel that won't chafe the horse.
- Luxurious Satin: Lovely satin fabric on the front that gives a soft and elegant feel and is dirt-repellent.
- Quick-Dry Underside: Quick-dry material on the underside quickly wicks away sweat and moisture, keeping your horse dry and comfortable.
- Stop Edge: A practical stop edge prevents the saddle pad from sliding, providing a secure and stable fit.
Give your horse gentle and enjoyable training with the CORE training aid!
Important: Never use the hind band without the abdominal band for safe and effective training. The abdominal band can be used on its own.

Why choose CORE training aids?
🥕 The belly band activates the abdominal and back muscles, reminding the horse to lift its belly and raise its spine.
🥕 The horse can then step under itself when the abdominal and back muscles are active.
🥕 The hindquarters and abdominal muscles play a crucial role in the horse's carrying capacity and strength.
🥕 Activating the core muscles leads to the horse lowering its head, resulting in training in a low, collected form.
The new generation of training aids
The ultra-comfortable exclusive material with thicker padding reduces the pressure from the girth and saddle. It helps your horse relax, allowing it to focus on training with you!
🥕 We offer a colorful, comfortable, and delightful collection
🥕 The saddle pads are compatible with other training bands
🥕 The raised edge keeps the saddle pad in place
🥕 Suitable for most horse breeds and available in various models
Veterinarian’s Tips
Do not attempt to rehabilitate a horse in pain. First, obtain a veterinarian’s diagnosis and treatment to ensure the horse’s back is pain-free before proceeding.
Train back muscles through varied exercises such as hill work, ground driving, lunging with or without activation systems, riding in proper form, cavaletti, varying riding surfaces, and checking the saddle fit.
Use treats to help with stretching.
Horse Trainer Madeleine Wickström
“The best thing about training with this activation system is that it helps the horse work correctly in the gentlest way possible. My horses become stronger with each training session, and we get some variety from our usual training ❤️”
