Instructions and Care
Adjusting The Bal-Aid Equine Tactile Bracelets.
Your bracelets are initially set to the shortest possible setting.
Adjust the cord to the desired length by loosening or tightening the ends of the elastic string. 
Placing the bracelets on the horse.
We suggest introducing your horse to the bracelets without out a rider mounted!
Place the bracelet(s) on the desired fetlocks by pulling the bracelet over the desired foot.
Make sure the bracelets are not too loose or too tight.
When attached to the horse, the bracelets should have some slack to achieve the desired effect.
It is best to remove boots and bell boots when using the bracelets.
Slowly introduce your horse to the bracelets by hand-walking or lungeing or with a qualified ground person. Different horses may have different reactions, even if used to having objects placed on their legs, such as bell boots or pastern bands.
The bracelets are not intended for everyday use. Short sessions of max 10-15 minutes are recommended initially with some days without using the bracelets to avoid fatigue and muscle soreness. Always implement regular walk/rest breaks during the training sessions. Individual results may vary, and if any gait irregularity is noted, the use of the bracelets must be ceased immediately, and veterinary attention is advised.

• Only use soap and water to clean bracelets. Do not use any petroleum-based products for cleaning. Always store your bracelet dry in the carrying case.
