Jon Conklin & Draw It Out® — Horse-First Health Care, Built for Real Riders

From the barn aisle to the lab bench, Jon Conklin built Draw It Out® on one simple rule: if it doesn’t make life easier for riders and kinder for horses, it doesn’t ship.

Where It Started

Before Draw It Out®, Jon worked the equine aisles—talking with riders, fitting tack, and hearing the same frustrations on loop: plenty of flashy products, not enough quiet, reliable care. That’s where the idea took root—horse-first solutions that respect the rider’s routine.

The Gap We Chose to Fill

Horses don’t need theatrics. Riders need trust: show-safe formulas, calm application, textures that play nice under wraps, and labels that don’t read like a chemistry dare. Draw It Out® exists to close that gap—naturally-derived where it matters, purpose-built for daily use.

“Built for real riders—not influencers.”

How We Build Products

  1. Listen in the barn. What slows riders down? What stresses horses?
  2. Prototype with intent. Neutral scent, clean feel, wrap-friendly performance.
  3. Field test for reality. Real riders, real schedules, honest feedback.
  4. Ship what works. If a bottle adds friction, it doesn’t make the lineup.

What We Stand For

  • Show-safe by design. Made to respect rules and routines.
  • Calm, clean application. No menthol blast. No heavy perfumes.
  • Naturally-derived. Simple, purposeful systems—not kitchen-sink formulas.
  • Proof in the barn. The next ride should feel better. That’s the metric.

Today & What’s Next

Draw It Out® has grown into a rider-trusted toolkit—liniments, gels, and care essentials that earn their keep. The plan hasn’t changed: keep listening, keep simplifying, and keep building products that help you elevate every ride.
