Five minutes now saves twenty later. Prime soft tissue, boost comfort, and make the first trot step feel like the tenth.
Before you ask for collection or power, tissues need glide. A quick activation increases local circulation, reduces “sticky” fascia feel, and helps your horse relax through the back—so the warm-up window shortens and ride quality goes up.
Tip: Apply with your hands, not gloves—feel for tight spots while you work the gel in.

A thin, even layer—enough to lightly coat the area without dripping. You can always add more post-ride.
For activation, you typically won’t wrap. Save wraps for post-ride or after hauling with clean legs and proper tension.
Not required. Sensation-free works for most horses. If you prefer cooling on hot days, try it lightly and watch your horse’s response.
