Step-by-Step
1) Prep Clean
Brush away dust around the muzzle and facial grooves. Make sure skin is clean and dry so product goes where you intend.
2) Apply Small & Smart
Use a small amount exactly where the label indicates on external skin. Do not apply inside nostrils or near eyes. Give it a brief set time.
3) Ride Your Plan
Saddle up and ride. If you use protective gear (masks, boots), put them on after the set time to minimize transfer.
4) Post-Ride Reset
Wipe away sweat/dust. Re-apply only if your program calls for it. Keep usage consistent across the week for better tracking.
5) Store & Safety
Cap tightly. Store at room temperature. Follow all label directions. Keep out of eyes and away from broken or irritated skin.
Simple Programs
- Baseline: Pre-ride only, 3–4x/week.
- Dusty stretch: Pre-ride daily for 3–5 days, then taper.
- Hauling days: Light pre-haul application if your routine calls for it.
Track what works—every horse writes their own playbook.
Pro Tips
- Small beats heavy: A little goes a long way. Prioritize placement over volume.
- Timing matters: Apply after grooming and before tacking to keep it clean and consistent.
- Pair smartly: Keep the rest of your routine simple—less fuss, more feel.
