Congratulations to Kristen Parris

I absolutely love having the chance to be a part of a horse’s journey to the perfect home and there is nothing better than being able to keep a special horse close enough that I will continue to see him as he develops. With that in mind I could not be more excited for “Forrest” (now “Miles”) to begin his next chapter in life with a good friend. Congratulations to Kristen Parris and Miles on what is sure to be a long and happy life together!!!

Prioritize your horse’s well-being and help them recover

After a great workout, it’s essential to prioritize your horse’s well-being and help them recover. That’s where my cool down routine comes in, featuring the incredible Four Oaks Farm Products Muscle Release Gel!

Step 1: Walk It Out – Start by walking your horse for a few minutes to gradually lower their heart rate and allow their muscles to cool down. This gentle movement promotes circulation and helps prevent stiffness.

Step 2: Gentle Stretching – Engage in light stretching exercises with your horse, focusing on areas such as their neck, shoulders, and hindquarters. This promotes flexibility and reduces muscle tension.

Step 3: Apply Four Oaks Muscle Release Gel – Now, it’s time to provide some soothing relief to your horse’s tired muscles. I reach for Muscle Release Gel, a trusted companion in my routine. Its natural ingredients work wonders in easing muscle soreness and inflammation, ensuring a comfortable recovery.

Step 4: Massage Time – Gently massage the gel into your horse’s muscles, paying attention to any areas that feel particularly tense or fatigued. This promotes relaxation, enhances circulation and helps your horse unwind.

Step 5: Time to Rest – After the cool down and application of Four Oaks Muscle Release Gel, give your horse some well-deserved rest.
By incorporating this cool down routine, along with the therapeutic benefits of Muscle Release Gel, you’re providing your horse with the care they deserve. They’ll appreciate the soothing relief, and you’ll have a happy and healthy equine partner for your next adventure. And the best part—you can use the gel on yourself if you’re feeling sore!

Stop by the barn and grab a couple of samples to try it out for yourself!
