William Fox-Pitt, who in 2002 was the first British rider to top the FEI World Event rider rankings, is sponsored by Equissage.

“I have used the Equissage pad for a number of years and found it very useful. It undoubtedly improves the horses’s performance.

“I use the pad for warming up the horses before exercise, and put it on in the afternoon to help with any stiffness and lactic acid build-up that occurs after strenuous exercise. It provides the horses with gentle comfort and relaxation.”

Britain’s leading lady show jumper Ellen Whitaker has also secured backing from Equissage.

Another major star of the Whitaker clan, Ellen, aged 19 has shot to fame in the past two years with her horse AK Locarno 62.

In 2004 Ellen broke a new record as the youngest rider to jump a clear round in the Hickstead Derby finishing in second place behind her Uncle John.

Paralympic dressage gold medallist, Lee Pearson says: “I am very grateful to have the support and knowledge that Equissage can offer and have found a real difference in both horses since I started using the system.”

In 2004 Lee led the way in Athens obtaining a staggering three gold medals. He was awarded double gold in the individual and freestyle tests as well as team gold for Great Britain riding Blue Circle Boy.

Based at Leek, in Staffordshire, his two top horses Blue Circle Boy and Donnerkind benefit from daily sessions of the Equissage system. He also uses the human version on himself to help keep him supple whilst riding.

Top racehorse trainer James Fanshawe is based at the Pegasus Stables in Newmarket the heart of the world of racing.

James has had a string of successes including four Group 1 winners and over £1.5 million prize money in 2004 on the flat.

Famous horses include Soviet song, Frizzante, Arctic Owl, Environment Friend, Invermark, Royal Gait and Hors la Loi III.

Said James: “Equissage is a great help for horses recovering from injury and gives a competitive edge to horses that are fit and racing.”
