The Importance of Daily Leg Care for Your Horse
Your horse’s legs are their foundation—strong, powerful, and always in motion. Whether they’re training, competing, or simply enjoying turnout, their legs endure constant stress. Daily leg care is essential to prevent injuries, support recovery, and keep them moving comfortably. By making leg care a daily habit, you can help your horse stay sound, comfortable, and ready for anything.
1. Start with a Daily Leg Check
- Swelling or heat
- Tenderness or sensitivity
- Small cuts or scrapes
- Changes in movement
Pro Tip: Run your hands down each leg, feeling for anything unusual. Catching small issues early can prevent bigger problems later!
2. Use Liniment for Circulation and Recovery
Before Rides: Apply Draw It Out® Liniment Gel to warm up muscles.
After Rides: Massage into tired areas to reduce fatigue.
Daily Maintenance: Prevents stiffness and encourages mobility.
Bonus Tip: Add liniment to sponge baths post-ride for cooling recovery.
3. Wrap It Up (When Needed)
Use standing wraps:
- Post-exercise to manage inflammation
- During stall rest
- After long hauls
Always apply MasterMudd™ or Draw It Out® RTU Spray before wrapping for added benefit.
4. Keep Hooves in Check
- Pick out hooves daily to prevent infections
- Maintain hydration with a hoof conditioner
- Use SilverHoof EQ Therapy® for stronger, healthier hooves

Your horse’s legs do the heavy lifting—literally. With a simple daily routine of leg checks, liniment use, wrapping when needed, and consistent hoof care, you can ensure their long-term health and performance.
