Post-Ride Recovery Routine – Help Your Horse Bounce Back with Draw It Out® Liniment

Introduction:

Your horse gives their all during every ride—whether it's a tough training session or a leisurely trail cruise. 💪🐎 But what happens after the ride is just as important as what happens in the saddle.

A good post-ride routine sets the stage for recovery, reduces the risk of soreness, and helps your horse stay sound, supple, and ride-ready. And at the heart of it all? Draw It Out® Liniment—your go-to recovery hero.

1. Begin with a Proper Cool-Down

Cooling down is non-negotiable—this is where recovery begins.

✅ Cool-Down Checklist:
✔ Walk your horse for 10–15 minutes post-exercise
✔ Allow heart rate and breathing to return to normal
✔ Helps prevent lactic acid buildup and reduces post-ride stiffness

💡 Pro Tip: A proper cool-down = fewer sore muscles and a happier horse tomorrow.

2. Rinse, Dry, and Inspect

Take a few extra minutes to refresh your horse and check their body.

✅ Post-Ride Hygiene & Inspection:
✔ Use a sweat scraper to remove water and sweat
✔ Gently inspect legs, back, and loins for heat, swelling, or sensitivity
✔ Monitor behavior—changes in attitude or stiffness can signal discomfort

💡 Pro Tip: Post-ride grooming isn’t just for looks—it’s your chance to catch small issues before they become big ones.

3. Apply Draw It Out® Liniment

Time to put your recovery MVP to work.

✅ How to Use:
✔ Apply to legs, shoulders, back, and loins
✔ Massage in gently to enhance absorption and support circulation
✔ Use under standing wraps or add to a rinse for full-body recovery

🧴 Why it matters:
✔ Promotes blood flow
✔ Reduces inflammation
✔ Relieves muscle tension and soreness

💡 Pro Tip: Safe for daily use, even on sensitive horses—no burn, no stink, just results.

4. Allow for Movement & Recovery

The ride is over, but recovery needs to continue with movement.

✅ Encourage Active Recovery:
✔ Turnout or hand-walk post-ride
✔ Avoid long stall rest after tough workouts
✔ Rest days? Add light walking or groundwork to support healing

💡 Pro Tip: Stillness = stiffness. Keep your horse moving to keep recovery flowing.

The ride may be done—but recovery is where greatness is built. With a smart, consistent post-work routine and Draw It Out® Liniment, your horse will recover faster, feel better, and be ready for whatever comes next.

Because when your horse feels good, every ride gets better.
