Rider‑First Routine

Limber Up for Horses — A Quiet, Repeatable Warm‑Up

No theatrics. No perfume. Just a simple pattern you can trust: walk, mobilize, check, then ride. If you use topicals, keep them sensation‑free and label‑true.

TL;DR — What Works (and Why)

  • Move first. 5–8 minutes of purposeful walk does more than any “hot” gimmick.
  • Check symmetry. Hands on—compare heat/tone left vs. right. Note attitude and track‑up.
  • Topicals are optional. If you use them, keep it sensation‑free, colorless, low‑odor, thin layer on intact skin, and wait dry‑to‑touch before wraps/tack.
  • Same steps everywhere. Home, road, show—consistency keeps behavior predictable.

The 10–15 Minute Warm‑Up

0:00
Baseline Check

Hands over legs/back; compare sides; feel digital pulse; note demeanor. If you see red flags—heat with pain, one‑leg swelling, fever, non‑weight‑bearing—call your veterinarian.

1:00
Walk to Mobilize (5–8 min)

Forward walk, straight lines → big soft circles. Add a few walk‑halt‑walk transitions. Look for even track‑up.

7:00
Dynamic Flexion (2–3 min)

Carrot stretches; gentle lateral bend in hand. Smooth and easy—no forcing range.

9:00
Optional Topical Support Sensation‑Free Wrap‑Ready
  • RTU Spray — quick coverage post‑work or after a haul. Let it absorb before sheets or tack.
  • 16oz Gel — thin layer on intact skin for targeted zones; allow hair to go dry‑to‑touch before wraps/tack.
11:00
Mount & Build

Long frame → add transitions and figures. Recheck at 15–30 minutes for heat/tension changes.
