Before/After Riding
Braces & Liniments as Deep Muscle Therapy after/before workouts (& YOUR HORSE WILL LOVE YOU 4 IT~!) I mix according to the directions, only sufficient amount for each time, and mix with HOT WATER to increase muscle relaxation.
Before Workouts: Mist from a Spray Bottle all down the neck, the back, the hip, the legs...front & back, the underline, the chest. Cover with a cooler. Mist the lower leg lightly. Wrap the lower legs with Polo Wraps. Let stand about 15 minutes, or long enough to properly clean tack & prepare for riding!
After Workouts: Sponge on liberally. Cover with a cooler. Fresh wrap Polo Wraps. Clean Tack.
Remove Cooler & if damp, put on a light cotton sheet under the blanket. Cotton is a ventilated fabric, allowing heat to escape, and the dampness to evaporate.
