Hot weather does not reward complicated barn routines. Riders need a simple system before the ride, after the ride, and once the horse is cooled out and settled.
Short answer: Before a hot ride, think grooming and environmental defense with
Citraquin®. After the ride, use wash-rack cooling support with
IceBath™, then choose
liniment gel or
RTU spray based on how targeted the care needs to be.
