Small Habit, Big Impact – Daily Leg Checks with Draw It Out® Liniment

Introduction:

In the middle of mucking, feeding, riding, and repeating—it’s easy to skip the small stuff. But when it comes to horse care, the small stuff matters most.

One of the simplest habits with the biggest payoff? A daily leg check. Just a few minutes can mean the difference between a sound ride tomorrow… or 30 days off. And when you pair that routine with Draw It Out® Liniment, you’ve got a powerful one-two punch for keeping your horse’s legs healthy, tight, and ready to go. 🐴💥.

1. What You’re Looking For

A daily leg check isn’t complicated—it’s all about feel. Run your hands slowly and consistently down each leg, checking for:

✅ Red Flags to Watch For:
✔ Heat
✔ Swelling
✔ Tenderness to the touch
✔ Nicks, scrapes, or bug bites
✔ Fluid buildup (a.k.a. stocking up)

💡 Pro Tip: Compare both legs—differences are easier to spot when you feel side-by-side.

2. Why It Matters

Tiny issues today can turn into serious problems tomorrow.

✅ The Benefits of Early Detection:
✔ A little heat? May signal early inflammation.
✔ Mild swelling? Could be a strain in progress.
✔ Tenderness? A soft tissue tweak that needs support.

💡 Catch it now, and it’s often just a little rest and liniment—not a vet bill and forced time off.

3. Add Draw It Out® Liniment to Your Routine

When you find something a little “off,” Draw It Out® Liniment steps in to save the day.

✅ How to Use It:
✔ Apply directly to any heat, puffiness, or soreness
✔ Massage gently to boost circulation and reduce inflammation
✔ Use under wraps overnight for added support
✔ Great for high-stress areas like hocks, stifles, and fetlocks

🌿 Why it works:
✔ Safe for daily use
✔ Non-greasy and alcohol-free
✔ Show-safe and gentle on sensitive skin

4. Build It Into Grooming Time

Don’t overthink it—this routine fits right into your regular grooming.

✅ As you brush, simply:
✔ Run your hands down each leg
✔ Feel for any changes
✔ Apply Draw It Out® if needed

💡 Pro Tip: The more you do it, the more your horse gets used to it—and they’ll love the extra attention.

Big problems often start small. A daily leg check takes minutes, but it can prevent weeks of soreness, strain, or stall rest.

Paired with Draw It Out® Liniment, you’re giving your horse an early-warning system, everyday support, and serious long-term soundness.
