Cold Mornings, Warm Muscles – Ride Smart with Draw It Out® Liniment

Introduction:

Cold mornings hit different—especially when there’s a saddle involved. 🥶🐴

While that frosty air might wake you up, your horse’s muscles and joints aren’t so quick to embrace the chill. Cold temps mean stiffness, resistance, and a higher injury risk—unless you’ve got a plan.

Good thing you do. 💪 With Draw It Out® Liniment and a smart warm-up, you can turn every cold morning into a smooth, comfortable ride. Let’s break it down.

1. Understand the Cold Weather Impact

When the thermometer drops, so does your horse’s flexibility.

✅ What Happens in the Cold:
✔ Muscles tighten and contract
✔ Blood flow slows, especially in extremities
✔ Joints lose lubrication, increasing strain

💡 Older horses, rehabbing athletes, and those just coming back into work? They feel it more.

2. Start With an Active Warm-Up

No shortcuts here—a proper warm-up is everything.

✅ What to Do:
✔ Walk for 10–15 minutes, in-hand or under saddle
✔ Add big circles, gentle bending, and long-and-low stretches
✔ Save the big moves (like lateral work or transitions) for later in the ride

💡 The goal: loose, limber, and ready to roll.

3. Use Draw It Out® Liniment Before You Ride

Your warm-up routine just got an upgrade.

✅ Before You Tack Up:
✔ Apply Draw It Out® Liniment to:
 ✔ Back
 ✔ Shoulders
 ✔ Stifles
✔ Use gentle massage to promote circulation and muscle activation

🌿 Why it rocks:
✔ Penetrates deep
✔ No burn, no odor, no sticky mess
✔ Show-safe and gentle enough for daily use

💡 Perfect for cold starts, stiff horses, or early-morning rides.

4. Don’t Skip Post-Ride Care

Once the ride is done, keep the care going.

✅ After-Ride Routine:
✔ Reapply liniment to legs and major muscle groups
✔ Supports cooldown and recovery
✔ Reduces soreness and keeps legs tight

💧 Bonus tip: Mix into a rinse bucket for a refreshing full-body liniment wash after work.

Don’t let chilly mornings throw off your horse’s performance. With Draw It Out® Liniment and a solid warm-up, you’ll give your partner the comfort and protection they need to stay strong, limber, and sound—no matter how frosty the air feels.
