Conditioning Recovery with Liniment

When your horse is in a conditioning program—whether preparing for show season, rebuilding after time off, or just maintaining fitness—recovery is as important as the workout itself. That’s where Draw It Out® Liniment comes in.

1. Why Recovery Matters

Conditioning builds muscle, strength, and stamina—but it also puts stress on joints and tissues. Without proper recovery, horses can develop stiffness, soreness, and even long-term injuries. A liniment like Draw It Out® helps support recovery after every session, ensuring your horse feels their best for the next ride.

2. Target Key Muscle Groups

After a workout, focus liniment application on high-use areas:

  • Back and loins
  • Stifles and hamstrings
  • Shoulders and gaskins
  • Lower legs and tendons

Massaging liniment into these areas helps reduce inflammation, promote circulation, and prevent next-day stiffness.

3. Pair with Wraps or Ice

Draw It Out® is safe under standing wraps or ice boots. This makes it easy to combine modalities for maximum relief—especially for horses working at high levels or with previous injuries.

4. Conditioning Recovery Routine

  • Cool down fully after each ride with hand-walking or turnout.
  • Apply Draw It Out® Liniment within 30 minutes post-ride.
  • Use wraps or a liniment bath for full-body care.
  • Hydrate with clean water and consider electrolyte support if sweating was heavy.
