Keep your older horse comfortable and decrease inflammation, prevent or heal any injuries, and soothe his stiff muscles with help from SmartPak’s SmartTherapy ceramic mesh sheet ($199; smartpakequine.com). This sheet’s ceramic-infused textile is placed over the chest, shoulders, back, and hindquarters to help warm up and rejuvenate key muscles areas. Plus, you can use it all year-round thanks to its breathable mesh material that help with venting and air flow.
