Using Draw It Out® Products in a Horse Care Routine
A useful horse-care shelf is not a pile of bottles. It is a repeatable decision process: check the horse, identify the job, choose the right format, follow the label, and watch what happens next.
Quick answer: Start with the horse, not the product. Inspect movement, legs, skin, hooves, temperature, attitude, appetite, water intake, and manure before deciding whether routine topical support belongs in the plan.
Build the routine in the right order
A calm system catches change earlier and keeps products in their proper role. If the horse is lame, feverish, unwilling to move, markedly swollen, painful, bleeding, draining, or getting worse, the next step is professional guidance.
Observe the whole horse before touching the problem area.
Clean or prepare the area as the label directs.
Choose one product lane for one clear job.
Record what you used when more than one person cares for the horse.
Recheck the horse after work, travel, turnout, and the next morning.
Choose the format by the job
Format matters because convenience changes consistency. The best product is the one that actually fits the horse, the job, and the barn workflow.
Draw It Out® Liniment Gel fits targeted, hands-on application to clean, intact external areas.
Draw It Out® Concentrate fits riders who want a mix-to-use spray, wrap, or soak format according to the current label.
Draw It Out® RTU Spray fits fast, no-mix application.
Silver Hoof EQ Therapy® belongs in a picked, inspected, farrier-aware hoof routine.
Skin-care and grooming products belong after cleaning and assessment, not instead of them.
Application discipline
Draw It Out® liniment is built around an odorless, colorless approach without menthol, capsaicin, alcohol, or witch hazel. That does not remove the need to read the label or watch the individual horse.
Use only on the areas and in the manner allowed by the current label.
Apply a thin, even amount instead of assuming more is better.
Do not layer random topicals or combine products without clear compatibility guidance.
Keep applicators and grooming tools clean.
Stop if the horse or skin reacts unexpectedly.
When product should not be the first move
Good horse care is not measured by how quickly a bottle is opened. It is measured by whether the horse gets the right help at the right time.
Sudden or worsening lameness.
Heat, strong digital pulse, major swelling, or severe pain.
Open wounds, punctures, active bleeding, or drainage.
Any problem you cannot confidently identify as routine.
Professional care comes first
Products support routine care. Lameness, severe pain, heat, marked swelling, punctures, open wounds, eye concerns, fever, breathing changes, neurologic signs, or a horse that is getting worse need veterinary or farrier guidance.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use several Draw It Out® products at once?
Use one clear routine at a time unless the labels and your veterinarian support the combination. More products do not automatically create a better plan.
Which liniment format should I choose?
Use Gel for targeted application, Concentrate for mix-to-use flexibility, and RTU Spray for fast no-mix use. Follow the current label for each format.
What should I write on a barn care chart?
Note the date, area checked, product and amount used, who applied it, and what changed afterward.

It’s been extremely wet here in Iowa and I’ve had a ton of foot abscesses. This has really helped the soles recover on a few subsolar abscesses I’ve had! It also is helping prevent as well as recover some feet from thrush
Thank you, Ashley! That wet Iowa weather has certainly kept you busy. We appreciate you making us part of your hoof-care routine and taking the time to share your experience. Thanks for trusting us with your horses!
