Real Riders of Draw It Out®: Alaina Parmeter

Some riders talk about the lifestyle. Others live it every weekend.

Alaina Parmeter is the second kind.

She and her close friend and hauling partner Natalie are first generation cowgirls. They share the love for horses first and the sport second. Most weekends, they are on the road across Michigan chasing barrel races and rodeos, building memories the hard way, one haul at a time, one run at a time.

When they are not competing, they are still riding. Trail rides. Riding cattle. Sorting. Even camping with their horses. It is not a hobby. It is their life, and their horses mean everything to them.


Why Draw It Out®

When you haul hard and run often, comfort and recovery are not optional. You do not get to pretend your horse will magically bounce back after a long weekend and a long drive home.

Alaina told us Draw It Out® has been her go to for keeping her horses happy and comfortable from long hauls to post run maintenance. She especially loves the liniment gel after rides, and she also counts on our hoof care and grooming products as part of the full program.

Alaina: “Draw It Out has been our go to product line for keeping our horses happy and comfortable. From the long hauls to the post run maintenance, Draw It Out products always have us covered. We especially love the liniment for after rides. Not only that, but we love the hoof care and grooming products as well. Draw It Out is truly one of a kind.”


The real rider mindset

Real riders are not looking for loud sensations or shortcuts. They are looking for consistency. They want their horse to feel good tomorrow, not just look good today.

That is the whole point of calm, repeatable care. Support the small things before they become big things. Keep routines simple enough to actually do on the road, on busy weeks, and after long nights getting home.


Build a calm routine that travels well

  • Start with the match: Use the Solution Finder to pick the right format for your horse and your schedule.
  • Prevent first: Use Prehabilitation to stay ahead of stiffness, travel tightness, and workload stacking.
  • Keep it simple: Choose one core liniment routine you will actually repeat, then stay consistent.
