Real Rider: Jenna Riga’s Post‑Ride Routine
On the barrel circuit, every second counts—and so does every recovery. Here’s how Real Rider Jenna Riga keeps her horses steady with a simple, show‑safe three‑step routine.
Step 1 — Cool Smart, Not Soak
Instead of drenching her horse, Jenna cools target zones after a run. A quick pass with CryoSpray® knocks down surface heat. She scrapes between passes and always towels legs dry before moving on.
Step 2 — Dry Thoroughly
Damp legs under compression spell trouble. Jenna keeps towels handy in the trailer tack room and makes sure every leg is cool and dry before applying support.
Step 3 — Support with Confidence
Once dry, she applies a thin, even coat of Draw It Out® 16oz High Potency Gel. It’s sensation‑free, show‑safe, and wrap‑friendly—perfect for long show weeks. If the leg calls for compression, she wraps with clean, smooth layers and re‑checks tension after 30 minutes.
