The ride doesn’t end when the gate closes. A good cool-down is the key to keeping your horse moving freely and recovering faster after every workout.
Start with an easy 8–10-minute walk under saddle or in-hand. This gentle motion gradually lowers your horse’s heart rate, helps clear lactic acid, and moves residual heat out of the major muscle groups.
After removing tack and toweling off sweat, apply a thin layer of Draw It Out® 16 oz High Potency Gel along the legs, back, and large muscle zones. The formula absorbs quickly, supports circulation, and soothes tissue without the burn, scent, or residue of traditional liniments.
If you wrap, use clean, breathable materials and even tension. Avoid wrapping over trapped moisture or heat. For horses that cool out quickly, a slow hand walk or turnout session often does more good than standing bandages.
Doing this after every ride keeps legs tight, muscles supple, and recovery fast. A simple, consistent process builds long-term soundness and confidence — for both horse and rider.
Draw It Out® — the clean, menthol-free liniment trusted by riders worldwide. Show-safe, non-sting, and made for everyday recovery.
