About Draw It Out®

What is Draw It Out® and how is it different?
Draw It Out® is a sensation-free liniment system built for horses that do real work. Our philosophy: no burn, no sting, no perfume, no dyes. Calm horses accept care, and consistent routines win.
Which product does what?

How to Use

What’s the simplest post-ride routine?
Run the calm 3-step: IceBath™ (1:10) → on hot spots → thin DiO Gel. Let each step dry fully. See the Post-Ride Map.
Can I wrap over Draw It Out® Gel?
Yes - on intact, clean, dry skin with a thin, even coat. Use clean wraps and recheck at ~12 hours. Full guide: Liniment + Wraps.
Open wound or near eyes?
No. Keep topicals out of eyes and off open or deep wounds unless your veterinarian directs otherwise.
Cold weather adjustments?

Cooling & Routines

IceBath™ - RTU or dilute?
Both work. For a sponge-on whole-body pass, use 1:10 with water (about 1 part IceBath™ to 10 parts water). RTU spray is grab-and-go. No rinse needed.
Daily care for “stocking up” (cool, painless swelling)?
Walk 10 - 15 min → thin DiO Gel → optional clean standing wraps. More prevention plays: Stop Stocking Up.
After hauling - legs look puffy?

Wraps & Poultice

Liniment under standing wraps - good idea?
Yes - thin coat only, on intact skin, let set for ~60 seconds, then clean quilt + even tension. Full instructions: Guide.
Poultice vs. liniment - when to use which?
Pick one wrap medium at a time. Use liniment for fast, wrap-friendly support; use poultice when you want longer surface cooling. Don’t layer Gel under poultice. Compare: Poultice vs. Liniment.

Shows & Rules

Show-suitable?
Our system is formulated without typical show-restricted ingredients and is suitable when used as directed. Always confirm the current rules for your association and discipline.
Will my horse “feel” it?
We design for calm care - no menthol burn, no alcohol sting, no perfumes or dyes. Relief you can’t feel is the point.

Safety & Ingredients

Sensitive skin?
Many riders choose DiO because it’s sensation-free and free of perfumes/dyes. Always patch-test new routines and use on intact skin only.
Hydration & electrolytes - do they matter for swelling?
Yes. Offer electrolytes per label during work/hauling and a second bucket of plain water. Hydration supports recovery and helps manage puff in heat. See Hydro-Lyte tips.
Storage & temps
Store sealed, out of direct sun, and avoid extreme heat/cold. Let products return to room temp before use.
