Ask Jon a Question
What makes Draw It Out® different from other liniments?

We’re show-safe, sensation-free, and naturally-derived. No menthol, alcohol, or burn — just deep relief built to perform. I made it because I was tired of seeing good horses react to harsh ingredients. Every batch has to pass one test: would I use it on my own horse?

Can I use Draw It Out® right before a show or event?

Absolutely. That’s what it’s made for. There’s no tingle, scent, or banned substance risk — so you can apply it before, during, or after competition without worrying about irritation or compliance issues.

How often should I apply the gel for best results?

Use it daily for maintenance and after heavy work or hauling for recovery. Massage a thin layer directly into legs or sore areas — no need to rinse. The gel absorbs fast and leaves zero residue under wraps or boots.

Is it safe for sensitive-skinned horses?

Yes — that’s one of our core values. Draw It Out® is free from menthol, witch hazel, dyes, and alcohol, so even the most sensitive horses get the relief they need without reaction or drying.

What’s next for Draw It Out®?

We’re always developing better ways to care for horses — from advanced recovery tools to new naturally-derived topicals. But we’ll never sacrifice our roots: show-safe, sensation-free relief for real riders.
