Recovery is about more than just a break, it’s the time the body uses to support circulation, release tension, and maintain muscle balance. How a horse recovers between runs can influence readiness for the next performance.
Many riders incorporate tools like walking, gentle stretching, or therapy tools between runs. Incorporating supportive equipment such as the XLR8 Velocity Sheet or sessions with our red light therapy can help your horse stay comfortable and ready for the next pattern.

Is your horse ready for fly season?
The Velocity Fly Mask from XLR8 Equine offers reliable protection from insects and UV rays while incorporating ceramic far‑infrared and magnetic therapy strategically placed across the poll and TMJ to support comfort during turnout and everyday wear. Available in both horse and cob sizes, you can choose the fit that’s right for your horse. If you prefer extra coverage, the Fly Mask is also available with ear covers for added protection and versatility.
How are you gearing up for flies this year? Let us know in the comments.

The lymphatic system of the horse relies on motion to facilitate the return of edema from the lower limbs. When horses are non-ambulatory, these processes can grind to a halt. This is why they “stock up,” “fill up,” or develop “windpuffs” in a stall or trailer.
Caretakers have long used compression to mitigate these effects, but wrapping can be tricky. Wraps hold heat, which can be problematic in the summer months. Wrapping is cumbersome and technical. One bad wrap can be detrimental to your horse’s soundness.
G-force boots are thin, breathable, and flexible. They stimulate lymphatic drainage with gradient compression, without lateral pressure on critical structures of the leg. Just effective, even compression. No heat, no bandage bow, no rolling polos.
You’ll love the results you get, and you’ll appreciate how quick they are to use.

“I have been using XLR8 Equine products for nearly six years and they have become a staple in my program. I regularly use the Velocity magnetic blankets, fly masks, and bell boots pre-race and overnight. The Velocity sheet consistently helps my horses feel their best and supports quicker recovery after a run. The Redline products are newer to my routine, and I absolutely love them. When using the poll wrap, my horses show immediate and noticeable releases. Since adding the Redline bell boots and poll wrap, I’ve experienced significantly fewer soreness issues, and my horses are staying more comfortable and relaxed overall.”
