Ten days where horsepower meets heart—elite rodeo, thundering chuckwagons, and a city that leans into western life. Here’s the lay of the land and a practical care plan for horses working long, noisy days on the grounds.
A celebration of western sport and culture with serious horsepower in the arena and serious hospitality in the stands. It’s tradition, pageantry, and high stakes packed into a tight schedule.
Expect dense crowds, amplified sound, variable weather, and late nights. Horses feel the energy—keep the routine steady, keep feed/water timing consistent, and build in quiet time away from foot traffic.
Short, specific warm-up. Protect soft tissue with a progressive build—leave gas for the run.
Hand-walk, scrape/rinse sweat, then sensation-free support on high-motion zones. Quiet stall time.
Keep recovery boring: predictable steps, products that stay where you put them, and no hot/cold drama that spikes reactivity.
Sensation-free, 125% strength—targets post-work zones without heat or sting, ideal between performances.
Shop the Gel →Focused support for hard-working joints/soft tissue—handy during multi-day slates.
Explore MasterMudd™ →Barrier-supporting skin care that stays put on cannons/pasterns—keeps legs clean-looking in dusty, busy barns.
