Why this pick belongs in August
The season has started keeping score.
By August, the workload is no longer theoretical. It is hot days, hard ground, long hauls, late nights, repeated runs, and weeks of accumulated effort. The horse may still be willing, but the routine has to carry more of the load.
That is why August is not about another novelty. It is about a full barn-size Gel that fits the daily recovery routine before work, after work, after hauling, and during the regular checks that help riders stay ahead of the next hard day.
