Roping
Headers load the front end on the turn; heelers sit down hard on the hocks.

Ranch & Rodeo
The horse that sorts pairs Tuesday, hauls Friday and runs in a jackpot Saturday does not get a specialist's recovery plan. This is the all-around kit we would build for that horse.
Legs after a long day
Working horses stack hours, not minutes. Our baseline is simple: walk out, cool the legs, hands down every leg, then no-bow wraps or quick wraps overnight in the barn. The Velocity Magnetic Bell Boots are an easy add for the horse that is always on its feet.
Backs, polls and the trailer
A ranch horse is saddled more than any show horse. The Western saddle pad liner goes under the pad every day; the Velocity Sheet and Hood ride in the trailer; the handheld Redlight is the tool we grab for the odd sore spot, a cinch rub or a nick. The solar power bank keeps it all charged at the trailer.
Flies, hay and the inside
Fly Free boots for turnout, a half-bale net for the trailer, and CEP supplements for a horse that works for a living: the Magic Trio for stomach, feet and coat, Daily Lung for dusty pens. CEP is ordered by phone so we can fit it to the horse and the workload.
CEP supplements are ordered by phone so we can match the program to your horse: 720-504-5536. See the full CEP line.
Questions we get a lot
What is the most useful recovery product for an all-around ranch horse?
If we had to pick one, a pair of Back on Track quick wraps: easy to put on, built for overnight, and they cover the legs that do the most work. Add a saddle pad liner if the horse is saddled daily.
Can I use red light therapy on a cut or a cinch rub?
XLR8 lists wound care among the uses for the handheld Redlight. Follow the directions that come with it, keep the area clean, and have your veterinarian look at any wound that is deep, near a joint, or not improving.
Do you ship to ranches outside town?
Yes. We ship anywhere in the US and deliver to your doorstep. Call or text 720-504-5536 if you are somewhere a carrier struggles to find.
Talk to a rider. Text or call 720-504-5536 with your horse's age, workload and what you are seeing. We will tell you what we would use and what is on the shelf.
