VetKinTape® 6 cm — Versatile Equine Support | VetKinTape®
If you're getting into veterinary kinesiology tape for the first time — or stocking a barn or therapy kit and want to start with the most useful option — the 6 cm width is where most people begin. It's wide enough to support a hamstring, a shoulder, or a tendon effectively, but narrow enough that you can still cut it down and work with it on more detailed applications. That versatility is why it's the go-to width for equine physiotherapists, rehab vets, and trainers who work across different horses and different needs.
The adhesive is what makes VetKinTape different from anything you'd find at a pharmacy or a sporting goods store. Human kinesiology tape peels off animal hair quickly because it wasn't designed for that surface. VetKinTape's adhesive formula is built specifically for fur and skin, which means it holds through turnout, travel, and the regular push and pull of a working horse's day. The breathable cotton construction does its part too — no heat trapping, no sweating under the wrap, just clean support that stays comfortable.
Kinesiology tape works best when it's applied correctly. If you're new to it, a session with an equine physiotherapist or rehab vet will set you up properly and make the tape perform the way it's supposed to. The 6 cm roll gives you plenty of tape to work with while you're learning, and more than enough for ongoing use once you're comfortable. Not sure if the 6 cm is the right width for what you have in mind? Give us a call — we're always happy to help you think it through.
