English leather strapping pad, made in Walsall.
Strapping promotes muscle tone and circulation. It should only be used on the 3 large muscle groups: neck, shoulders and hind quarters. Each of the 3 muscle groups is given a sequence of good hearty pats or bangs, following a steady and unhurried rhythm so that enough time is given for the muscle to contract and relax. It is very important to the horse to remain relaxed and not to become tense.
Begin with about 15 softer pats or bangs on each area until the horse is used to the idea. Gradually build up the daily regime of 30 to 50 bangs on each area on both sides of the horse. the numbe of bangs depends on the horses needs, level of fitness and natural condition. Strapping also stimulates natural oil secretion which results in a glossy coat, however, too much strapping can cause the horse to become muscle bound.
