Back on Track: Which product for which need?
In brief: Back on Track applies its Welltex textile technology throughout the life of the horse, rider, and even the dog. Resting horse, working horse, rider comfort, or four-legged companion: every need has its product. Here is our guide to help you find your way and choose the piece best suited to your need.
Back on Track technology, according to the brand
The entire Back on Track range is based on the same fabric, Welltex. According to the brand, this textile contains minerals that reflect the body’s natural heat as far infrared rays once the product is worn in contact with the skin or coat. Back on Track thus claims to contribute to comfort, well-being, and recovery, both before effort (preparation, warm-up) and after (cool down).
At Sellerie Bucéphale, we present this range as positioned by the manufacturer: it is a choice of comfort and daily support, not a medical device. The fabric works passively, without electricity or external heat source. We recommend introducing it gradually, starting with short durations, while observing your horse or your own sensations.
| The principle (according to Back on Track) | What it targets |
|---|---|
| Welltex fabric in contact with the body | Comfort and gentle warmth sensation |
| Wear before effort | Preparation, gentle warm-up |
| Wear after effort or at rest | Claimed recovery and well-being |

For the resting horse
At the stable, in the paddock, or during the night, it’s the ideal time to let the product work through simple contact over time. Blankets, throws, and neck protectors wrap the horse when it is most relaxed. The brand highlights these items for comfort and recovery after a day of work or during rest periods.
For the working horse
Around the session, the range focuses on the stressed areas: back, limbs, fetlocks. Back warmers and quarter sheets support warm-up and relaxation, while leg wraps, calf guards, bandages, and bell boots protect the limbs during work or transport. The brand positions these items for comfort and recovery around effort.
For the rider
Back on Track is not just for horses. The brand offers Welltex textiles and accessories for riders: belts, knee braces, gloves, socks, and pillows. The stated goal remains the same: to provide comfort and support recovery, both on horseback and in daily life.
For the dog
The four-legged companion also benefits from the range. Mattresses, blankets, belts, and joint protectors use the Welltex fabric, which the brand designs for the comfort and well-being of dogs, especially older dogs seeking comfort or very active dogs.
FAQ
How does Back on Track technology work?
According to the brand, the Welltex fabric contains minerals that reflect body heat as far infrared rays. Back on Track thus claims an effect on comfort and recovery. This is the manufacturer’s positioning, not a medical claim.
How do I care for my Back on Track product?
Prefer gentle washing at about 30-40°C. Do not use fabric softener: it clogs the fibers and reduces the claimed effectiveness of the Welltex fabric. Avoid hot tumble drying for technical pieces (leg wraps, protectors, back warmers); let them air dry flat, away from direct heat sources. Always refer to the product’s care label.
How long should I leave a Back on Track product on?
The brand recommends a gradual introduction. We advise starting with short durations, then increasing according to the comfort observed in your horse, dog, or yourself.
Is a heat source or electricity needed?
No. The Welltex fabric works passively, simply by contact with the body. No external power or heating is required.
Are there any precautions for use?
Yes. Do not use the product on acute inflammation, a recently hot or swollen area, or an open wound. In case of pathology, seek your veterinarian’s advice. The product does not replace treatment.
Which product should I choose to start with?
It depends on your need: a blanket or neck protector for a resting horse, a back warmer or leg wraps for work, a belt or gloves for the rider, a mattress for the dog. Our team is happy to guide you in-store or by appointment.
Do the sizes run true to size?
The horse, rider, and dog ranges each have their own size chart. If in doubt, contact us before purchasing, and we will help you choose the right size.
