Back on Track

Back on Track makes therapeutic gear with Welltex fabric — a ceramic-infused textile that reflects the horse's (or dog's, or rider's) own body warmth back as soothing far-infrared. Riders reach for it on stiff backs, cold-backed horses, older joints and slow-warming muscles; the science is simple and the results keep our customers restocking.

What we stock

For horses: mesh sheets and Quick Coolers, therapeutic saddle pads and pad liners, hock and tendon boots, bell boots and the Gentle Touch western cinch. For dogs: the Dixie hock brace and joint support line. For riders: back braces that ranch and arena riders wear daily.

How to use Welltex gear

Introduce it gradually — a few hours a day for the first week — then use it before work to warm up muscles or after to ease recovery. Most riders see the difference in a stiff-backed horse within the first rides. The Welltex pad liner is the easiest starting point: it slips under any western pad.

All Back on Track gear ships fast from Hooves & Paws in Apple Valley, California, with easy exchanges on sizing.
