Be your horse’s hero. We’ll help you do it.

Rule of Three

1) Thin Gel → 2) Absorb → 3) Optional Barrier or Tape

  1. Thin Gel (Pre/Post Ride): Apply a light, even layer to fronts/shoulders, back/SI & loins, and hindquarters/hamstrings. Massage in.
  2. Absorb Fully: Wait ~1–2 min for a thin coat. Dry-to-touch hair = ready. Wipe any excess near tack contact.
  3. Optional Layers:
    • Barrier Cream (spot only): For wet/muddy rub zones (cannon crud, pasterns). Don’t coat entire limbs under wraps.
    • Kinesiology Support: Apply after gel absorbs, on dry, intact skin per EQUINE | DEFENDER directions.

Keep products out of high-friction saddle/girth contact if they reduce security. Test tack before mounting.

Fast Checks

Absorption & Fit

  • Touch Test: Hair should feel dry, not slick.
  • Wraps: Intact skin only; thin product; recheck heat/tension in 15–30 min.
  • Travel: Light gel on fronts & hamstrings; absorb fully before loading; reapply thinly after haul.
  • Tack Security: Avoid slick layers under pad/girth panel; wipe excess.
Pre-Ride

Loosen-Up Recipe (2–3 Minutes)

  1. Brush clean & dry. Quick heat/fill scan.
  2. Thin gel: fronts/shoulders, back/SI & loins, hamstrings. Let absorb fully.
  3. Warm-up: long-and-low, circles, serpentines; add transitions when swing appears.
Post-Ride

Cool-Down Recipe (3–5 Minutes)

  1. Walk down; remove gear; wipe sweat/dust.
  2. Thin gel on worked zones; allow absorption.
  3. Standing wraps optional per program; monitor heat/tension.
Wet Weather

Barrier Mindset (Spot Only)

  1. Thin gel → absorb fully.
  2. Apply Rapid Relief Cream only to exposed trouble spots (cannon crud, mud zones).
  3. Avoid heavy layers under wraps/pads.
Skin Support

Targeted Care

  1. For skin support, use SilverHoof EQ Therapy® per label.
  2. Keep out of eyes and mucosa; intact skin only.
  3. Layer away from high-friction tack contact.
Do / Don’t

Layer Smarter

  • Do keep gel thin; more isn’t better under wraps.
  • Do allow full absorption before barrier/tape/wraps.
  • Do avoid slick layers under saddle/girth panel contact.
  • Don’t apply to open wounds, eyes, or mucosa.
  • Don’t tape over wet product or compromised skin.
  • Don’t stack multiple heavy products on the same zone.
Fix It Fast

Troubleshooting

  • Feels greasy: Use less gel; wait longer; wipe excess near tack.
  • Wraps too warm/slipping: Thinner application; ensure dry hair; re-wrap with even tension.
  • Horse reactive: Stop, rinse with water, reassess fit/workload; consult your vet if needed.
Safety first: Topicals support comfort routines—they’re not medical treatments. Use on intact skin only. Always confirm tack security and follow your veterinarian, farrier, saddle-fitter, and trainer’s guidance.

FAQ

Can I layer gel, then barrier cream, then wrap?

Only when every current label permits the combination and the skin is intact. Avoid stacking products under a wrap without veterinary guidance, use trained wrapping technique, and recheck the leg.

How much gel is “thin”?

Use the smallest amount allowed by the current label that covers the intended area without leaving the coat slick.

Is this show-friendly?

No product is universally competition-safe. Review the current rules for your discipline and event, follow the label, and ask a veterinarian or steward when unsure.

Layer clean. Ride better.

Build a routine that fits real barns and real schedules—no sting, no smell, wrap-friendly once absorbed.
