Q1 Prevention Series
Most leg issues start small. A calm daily routine after work helps you catch heat early, reduce stocking up, and keep your horse moving freely. Thin, even application beats occasional heavy application.
Most leg problems do not begin as emergencies. They start as quiet signals: a little tightness, mild stocking up, or heat that comes and goes. The goal is not to chase problems. The goal is to keep them from building momentum.
Reactive care is stressful. You are guessing, your horse is compensating, and you are already behind the curve. Preventative care is calmer because it is consistent. It helps you notice changes early and support soft tissue day by day.
If your routine only shows up when something looks wrong, you are relying on luck. A simple daily habit is how you take control back.
This routine is built for real barns. It is fast, repeatable, and easy to stick to.
