Fall Horse Care Recovery Checklist: Keep Legs Cool, Clean & Show-Safe
Autumn brings crisp mornings—and new stress on legs and skin. Use this four-step checklist to keep recovery steady and tomorrow’s ride ready.
Step 1 — Cool with purpose
Skip the soak. Target heat on tendons and big muscle groups, then scrape between passes so warm water doesn’t trap heat. For precise, portable cooling, keep CryoSpray® in the trailer and the wash rack.
Step 2 — Dry to the bone
Damp legs under compression are a shortcut to rubs. Towel thoroughly; give a minute of airflow on humid days. Clean, dry skin is the foundation of every good recovery habit.
Step 3 — Support with a thin, even layer
Lay down a whisper-thin coat of Draw It Out® 16oz High Potency Gel. It’s sensation-free and show-aware, made to play nice under wraps without masking heat or tone.
Step 4 — Wrap clean (when needed)
- Use clean quilts and wraps—no debris or wrinkles.
- Keep tension smooth and even with a two-finger check.
- Re-check at 30–45 minutes for comfort and temperature.
Not every day calls for wraps. Let the leg and the workload dictate the finish.
