In equine health, balance and stability are essential for overall well-being and performance, especially for competitive horses. A well-balanced horse is less prone to injuries, moves more efficiently, and performs better in training and competition. In this post, part of the "Elevate Your Horse’s Well-Being: The AV Edge Advantage" campaign, we’ll explore the importance of balance and stability for horses and how AV Edge’s EF Technology can help enhance your horse’s natural balance, reduce injury risks, and promote long-term health.
Why Balance and Stability Are Critical for Horses
Balance and stability are foundational for every movement your horse makes, from simple walking to complex manoeuvres in competitive sports like dressage or jumping. A horse with poor balance is not only at risk of underperforming but also more susceptible to injury.
Key benefits of good balance and stability:
- Injury Prevention: When a horse maintains proper balance, they distribute their weight evenly, reducing the strain on any one part of their body and preventing overloading joints and muscles.
- Enhanced Performance: For competitive horses, balance translates into fluidity and precision, enabling them to perform complex movements with grace and efficiency.
- Better Recovery: A well-balanced horse recovers more quickly from physical exertion because their body is aligned and working harmoniously.
The Causes of Imbalance in Horses
Many factors can disrupt a horse’s balance and stability, including:
- Physical Asymmetry: Just like humans, horses can develop muscle imbalances that affect their posture and stability.
- Injuries: Previous injuries can leave areas of weakness or compensation, making it difficult for a horse to maintain balance.
- Environmental Factors: Uneven terrain, poor shoeing, and inadequate training can all contribute to balance issues.
- Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs): As discussed in our previous post, “Why EMFs Affect Horses and What You Can Do About It,” exposure to EMFs can disrupt a horse’s energy field, contributing to discomfort, stress, and imbalance.
How AV Edge’s EF Technology Enhances Balance and Stability
One of the most effective ways to address balance issues in horses is by supporting their natural energy field. AV Edge’s EF Technology helps restore balance by harmonising the horse’s energy field, which is essential for optimal physical performance and injury prevention.
MOJO Classic Horse Patches for Balance and Stability
The MOJO Classic Horse Patches are designed to improve your horse’s balance and overall well-being by working with their natural energy frequencies.
- How It Works: The patches use EF Technology to support the body’s natural energy flow, promoting cellular harmony and balance. By optimising energy flow, the patches help reduce muscle tension, improve coordination, and prevent injuries caused by imbalances.
- Jargon Buster: Think of your horse’s body as an orchestra. When all the instruments (cells) are playing in harmony, the result is a balanced, stable performance. External factors, like EMFs, can disrupt this harmony, but the patches help keep everything in sync.

MOJO Deluxe Horse Pastern Wraps for Stability and Injury Prevention
The MOJO Deluxe Horse Pastern Wraps provide additional protection and support for competitive and active horses. These wraps not only protect the pastern area from impacts but also enhance stability and performance.
- How It Works: By using EF Technology, the pastern wraps support Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) production, which is essential for cellular energy and muscle function. This improved energy flow helps maintain balance and reduces the risk of injury, particularly in horses engaged in high-intensity activities.
- Jargon Buster: ATP is the fuel your horse’s cells need to stay strong and stable. The wraps ensure that your horse’s cells are energised and working at their best, promoting better balance and reducing injury risk.

Real-Life Impact: Enhancing Performance Through Balance
Many horse owners and riders have experienced the benefits of AV Edge’s EF Technology when it comes to improving their horse’s balance and stability. For example, one competitive jumper noticed a significant improvement in her horse’s coordination and landing stability after incorporating the MOJO Classic Horse Patches into her care routine. This not only boosted performance during training but also reduced the risk of landing injuries, a common concern in the sport.
"I was sceptical at first, but the MOJO Horse Patches have made a huge difference for my horse, who was dealing with chronic pain. His balance and stability have improved dramatically, and he seems much happier overall."
Similarly, horses recovering from injuries have shown faster recovery and regained stability more quickly with the MOJO Deluxe Horse Pastern Wraps, as discussed in our previous post, “Managing Chronic Conditions in Horses: Effective Strategies.” These stories highlight how EF Technology can support both injury prevention and recovery.
Simple Exercises to Improve Balance in Horses
In addition to using AV Edge’s products, here are some simple exercises you can incorporate into your training routine to help improve your horse’s balance:
Groundwork
Groundwork exercises, such as lunging or walking over poles, help improve your horse’s coordination and proprioception (awareness of their body in space). These exercises strengthen muscles and improve the horse’s ability to balance, especially when turning or navigating uneven terrain.
Hill Work
Walking your horse up and down hills is an excellent way to engage their core muscles and improve balance. This simple exercise encourages the horse to shift their weight correctly, leading to better overall stability.
Backing Up
Teaching your horse to back up strengthens their hindquarters and improves balance. Backing up engages the muscles responsible for balance and coordination, making it an effective exercise for stability.
Looking Ahead: Long-Term Health and Performance Enhancement
As we continue the "Elevate Your Horse’s Well-Being" campaign, we’ll dive deeper into strategies for enhancing your horse’s long-term health and performance. Look out for our upcoming post, "Sustainable Equine Care: Making Eco-Friendly Choices," where we’ll discuss how sustainable practices can improve both your horse’s well-being and the environment.
