High-quality bands, like those from Dover Saddlery , are designed to stay in place under the saddle without shifting during movement. Safety and Technique
These are wide, elasticated bands that wrap around the horse's barrel to protect the sensitive skin of the belly from rubs or sores caused by the rider's spurs or legs.
Start with light fingertip pressure at the sternum (between the front legs) and slowly slide your hand back toward the girth area.
A horse enjoying the stretch may move its muzzle or lean into the scratch, but if they pin their ears or shift away, reduce the pressure immediately.
Many owners use "belly scratches" as a reward or a way to relax the horse during grooming. Key Equipment: The Belly Band
