The Quick Start Guide
This is not fluff, filler, or one of those tiny inserts that tells you absolutely nothing useful. The EquiTecs Quick Start Taping Guide is a compact 23-page barn-ready handbook that walks you through the essentials of horse-specific functional taping in plain English.
It covers:
- Surface preparation
- Tape handling
- Step-by-step application basics
- Clear illustrations for real-world use
Inside, you'll get six practical applications you can start using right away:
- Fetlock Support
- Glute Assist
- Back Relax
- Coronary Band
- Neck Assist
- SI Support
It is designed for horse owners, riders, and equine professionals who want a safer, smarter, more useful introduction to EquiTecs without needing to decode a textbook in the barn aisle.
The Scissors
Yes, scissors matter. Clean cuts make application easier, faster, and less annoying. Barn scissors have usually seen some things and cannot be trusted.
The Towel
Prep matters. A lot. Tape works best on a clean, dry surface, and this gives you one of the basic tools you need to prep properly instead of slapping tape onto dust, oil, mystery grime, and bad decisions.
The 2-Way 2-Inch Tape
This gives you a versatile starting point for foundational EquiTecs applications. It is part of the actual system—not random tape pretending to be horse-specific because someone changed the label.
The 4-Way 2-Inch Tape
This lets you begin working with a second tape type designed for different support and application needs, so you're not boxed into one option from the start.

FAQs
Is this enough to get started?
Yes. That is the point of the kit. It gives you the essentials so you can begin without cobbling together supplies from five different places.
Is this for horse owners or practitioners?
Both. It works well for horse owners who want a guided first step and for practitioners who want the right materials before diving deeper.
Do I need prior taping experience?
No. This is beginner-friendly.
Does this include a course?
No. This is the physical starter kit plus the Quick Start Guide. If you want education included, go with the EFT Basics Course & Kit Combo.
What will the guide actually teach me?
It walks you through prep, tape handling, and six practical applications: Fetlock Support, Glute Assist, Back Relax, Coronary Band, Neck Assist, and SI Support.
Why not just buy tape by itself?
You can. But most people do better when they start with the full setup instead of improvising with random tools and then blaming the tape for their life choices.
