Post-Haul Leg Care: No-Stock-Up Routine That Works

4–6 minute read • Show-safe care built for the road

Hauling long miles shouldn’t mean puffy legs. Use this quick routine to keep circulation flowing and recovery simple—no burn, no gimmicks.

The 5-Step Routine

  1. Unload & walk. Ten minutes of hand-walking on level ground kick-starts circulation.
  2. Clean up. Rinse or towel off sweat and dust so your liniment can absorb cleanly.
  3. Spray Draw It Out® Concentrate. Mist legs lightly using the 32 oz Concentrate mixed to label directions. It’s great for spray or wrap prep.
  4. Massage key areas. Apply Draw It Out® Gel to tendons, fetlocks, and stifles for targeted relief. No menthol means no burn under boots or bandages.
  5. Add overnight support. If legs feel loaded, rub in MasterMudd™ EquiBrace™ and wrap lightly before stalling for the night.
Hydration check: Add Hydro-Lyte® Electrolyte + Gut Recovery to water or feed to replenish minerals and keep horses drinking after travel.

When to Use This Routine

Use post-haul every time your horse stands in a trailer for more than two hours. It also works after long show days or layovers between classes. It keeps the legs tight and comfortable without harsh chemicals or menthol sting.

Quick FAQ

Is Draw It Out® safe under shipping boots?

Yes. Once absorbed, it leaves no slick film. Apply a thin layer and wait a minute before booting.

What if legs are already puffy?

Walk, apply the Gel or Concentrate combo, and use EquiBrace™ overnight. Puffiness usually resolves within 12–24 hours.

When should I call a vet?

If swelling is hot, painful, or uneven between legs, it’s time for a professional look.

Note: Liniment routines support comfort and circulation—they don’t replace diagnosis or veterinary care.
