I love how easy it is to use this product. My horses love it! It just takes a small amount to help their airways open up.

As a lifelong horsewoman and Grand Prix-level show jumper, Evie Jaeckle is devoted to caring for her horses to the best of her ability. She’s also the business manager of the Jaeckle Centre, a world-class performance, therapy and rehabilitation center for equine athletes, which means that her dedication to providing the best care extends beyond her own personal horses to the horses that receive therapy in the Jaeckle Centre every day.
Located in Thompson’s Station, Tenn., the Jaeckle Centre opened in 2009 as the South’s premier facility for equine therapy, training and rehabilitation. The Centre is located on 75 acres in the heart of Tennessee horse country and includes an Olympic-sized, climate-controlled indoor arena, 55 stalls with automatic waterers, multiple temperature-controlled tack rooms and much more. Since its inception, the Centre has also been home to a state-of-the-art equine therapy and rehabilitation unit, complete with a team of on-site veterinarians and equine therapy professionals. Then, in 2020, Evie Jaeckle spearheaded a complete revamping of the facility and its services when she became the new barn manager at the Centre.
Owners can opt to board their horses at the Jaeckle Centre full time to receive ongoing therapy, or they can haul horses in for a day or two to receive targeted therapy sessions. The Centre houses twelve different therapy machines, including a cold water leg spa, which uses salt water at 32 degrees to help decrease inflammation; a dry treadmill and an underwater treadmill that can use hot or cold salt water; the EquiPulse, which delivers pulsed electro-magnetic field therapy to improve circulation and help regenerate damaged or diseased tissue; a class IV therapeutic laser to speed up the healing process; and an EquiVibe, which provides vibration plate therapy to help increase circulation and bone density.
“Our ultimate goal is to provide the most beneficial therapies for horses, and I really believe that horses thrive on these therapies,” Evie said. “I’ve seen so many transformations and worked with a lot of rescue and performance horses, and it’s amazing to see the difference in these horses after they go through our therapy program.”
Evie’s own show horse, Johnny, became partially paralyzed in an accident at the age of 16. Rather than give up, Evie dedicated the next two years to rehabilitating him at the Jaeckle Centre. She just hoped he’d be able to walk again someday, but by the summer of his 18th year, Evie and Johnny were able to return to the show ring and jump again.
“His first class back was a meter class, and he jumped double-clear and was second in his class,” Evie remembered. “No one ever thought that horse would come back, but there he was, jumping again! And he’s super happy.”
In January 2021, Johnny went on to jump to 10th place in the $10,000 Child/Adult Jumper Classic in Wellington, Fla., and is now on circuit with Evie, currently showing in the 1.15. This is just one of many success stories of rehabilitated horses that have come out of the therapy program.
As part of her dedication to the equine athlete, Evie is an ardent fan of Draw It Out and became a proud member of #TeamDiO in 2020. Frustrated with the blistering and heat that accompanied the use of other liniments in her showjumpers, she was looking for a natural product that was safe to use on horses with sensitive skin.
“A few weeks before I called Jon Conklin, I had a horse that blistered so badly with another liniment that I knew I couldn’t use that anymore,” Evie said. “So I found DiO online, called the company and ended up speaking with Jon himself.”
As soon as she started using Draw It Out’s products for herself, Evie was hooked. She ordered products for her own horses, but also decided to stock the store at the Jaeckle Centre with Draw It Out for therapy clients to try on their own horses.
“I love it. I literally put it on everything, from swollen legs to scrapes in the paddock,” Evie said. “At home, I like to use the Draw It Out Plus Horse Liniment because it works very well to bring the inflammation down and prevent any soreness associated with training at home. At shows, I use Draw It Out Horse Liniment gel and concentrate. I’ll spray their whole bodies after a show so they’re not sore. I also love the MasterMudd Equine Poultice. It’s no mess, so I love that I can put it under a wrap and there is no residue the next day.”
“We use it within our routine, so if a horse has sore legs or if it’s body-sore, we’ll always use a DiO product to help alleviate that. Our clients are constantly asking questions about it once they see it in action. We feel DiO goes hand-in-hand with all our therapy modalities and our goals here at the Centre. We’ll hand our customers a pamphlet and then they usually go buy some in the store because they love it,” Evie said. “I really believe in this product and I’m so happy that I found DiO.”
