Smells great and works good
Thanks for taking the time to share. Glad to hear it’s working well for you.
Prehabilitation is the quiet discipline of caring for your horse before problems announce themselves. Not because something is wrong. Because you would rather stay ahead than catch up.
This is not a perfect world program. It is a routine you can actually keep. Consistency is the advantage.
Cold tissue resists. Warm tissue cooperates. Start with easy forward motion and let the body arrive before asking for precision.
Short, consistent movement beats occasional resets. Little and often keeps the baseline soft.
Cooldown tells the nervous system the work is over. Most long term soreness starts when this step is skipped.
Elastic muscle recovers better. Monitor intake and support hydration during heat, hauling, and heavy work.
Rest does not mean rigid. Movement, turnout, and light care keep stiffness from setting the tone.
Print this mentally. Laminate it behaviorally. This is what keeps good horses good.
Remove decision fatigue. Use tools that support the routine instead of complicating it.

Daily habits combined with consistent warm up and cooldown on ride days produce the strongest long term results.
No. Any horse with a job benefits from prehab including trail, senior, and young horses.
