Shoulder Guard
$144.00
Keep their muscles relaxed and supple with our Shoulder Guard, powered by Welltex® Far Infrared technology.
The equine shoulder areas are a main point in motion and alignment. If stiffness occurs there it can create challenges for your horse. The cap of the scapula, the area of the shoulder blade below the wither is an important area on your horse. Horses have a wide range of motion in their shoulder that begins at the cap of the scapula, so if that is blocked the other muscles will not be able to work properly. These muscles need to be balanced well so that the horse can function symmetrically and have nice flow from that functional axis of rotation.
How do Back on Track’s Infrared products work?
Back on Track’s Infrared textiles are a textile using technology that recycles infrared and visible light into energy. When placed next to the body, this energy is redirected back to the body, increasing blood flow and oxygen levels of local body tissues. This can help to improve your horse’s comfort, recovery and performance in a very simple application.
The Shoulder Guard, is designed to optimize freedom of movement, as well as minimizing any rubbing/chafing effect of Blankets. Made with the revolutionary Welltex™ bio mineral infused fabric to provide soothing, pain relieving therapy to help alleviate problems with stiffness and injuries to muscles & soft tissues.
The Shoulder Guard is easy to apply, comfortable and has three dimension, removable padding to assist in reducing pressure around the withers/shoulder area. The Shoulder guard has removable pads across the chest, and on both side of the withers. It slips over the head and has a belly strap.

My mare suffers from pssm and has sore, rigid shoulder muscles especially when it’s cold. She is much happier when she has her shoulder guard on. It has really helped free up her movements
My father has always had shoulder pieces on his race horses. This is a great product that works awesome to add that extra warmth to the shoulder area and keep the muscles supple.
Fits great, but the pockets for the pads maybe need a Velcro closure. Shavings/dirt/hay gets into the pockets when my horse rolls. I like the product!!
Thank you for the feedback Taryn we will share this the Design Team in Europe 🙂
