The Soundness Advantage: How Daily Leg Care Extends Your Horse’s Career
Every rider dreams of a horse that stays sound, capable, and willing year after year. The truth? Longevity isn’t luck—it’s the payoff of consistent, thoughtful leg care long before problems show up.
Quick Take: Small daily habits create big-time longevity. The best riders don’t react to issues—they prevent them.
1 — Hands-On Checks Keep You Ahead of Trouble
Run your hands down every leg once a day. Feel for heat, puffiness, or tightness. Early detection beats expensive rehab every time.
2 — Support Circulation With a Clean, Safe Liniment
Apply a light coat of
Draw It Out® High Potency Gel (16 oz)
to support circulation and maintain cool, tight legs. No burn. No menthol. No guessing whether it’s show‑legal.
Pro Tip: Upward strokes toward the heart help lymph flow and encourage faster recovery.
3 — Walk More Than You Think You Need
Movement is medicine. A few minutes of slow walking before and after work keeps tendon lines clean and reduces stocking‑up, especially during heavy training blocks.
4 — Make “Micro‑Maintenance” a Habit
Cold hosing, hand-walking, turnout, and proper footing choices add up. None are flashy, but together they pull weight like a seasoned ranch hand.
Soundness is built on discipline, not drama. With the right daily habits—and the right tools—your horse can stay strong, comfortable, and competition‑ready for the long haul.
