Rider Soak - Lavender/Bergamot

Let's face it...horseback riding and horse showing can leave our muscles aching and brains frazzled. You deserve a recharge to aid recovery and keep us functioning at our best. Tension is not our friend in the saddle. 

Meet the best transdermal bath treatment for riders to help naturally refuel our bodies and minds with ache-reducing nutrients.

Magnesium deficiency is usually associated with muscle aches and cramps. This is because magnesium is essential to regulate muscle contraction, as well as muscle relaxation. It also plays an important role in blood pressure and regulates energy production. 

During exercise, we sweat out many electrolytes, including magnesium. Replenishing our magnesium stores post-exercise helps the muscles relax and recover, and counteracts the role that calcium plays in contracting the muscles. Chloride (such as magnesium chloride flakes) is needed to help balance the electrolyte levels in the body. Electrolytes in the nerves and muscles help fluid travel in and out of the body’s cells, keeping us hydrated and healthy. 

It’s well known that magnesium is a muscle relaxant (many of our horses take it orally). As such, this can help to alleviate muscle aches, and stress, and to calm tension. Mixed with botanical oils, these baths help ease and restore like nobody's business.
