Fall Horse Leg Care: Cooling, Compression & Show-Safe Liniment

Cool mornings, crunchy leaves, longer trots—fall is prime riding. It’s also when tendons get tested. Here’s the calm, Cadillac-smooth routine that keeps your horse ready for tomorrow.

Why Fall Rides Stress Legs

Leaves over hard ground. Cold mornings into warm afternoons. That combo can nudge soft tissues. A consistent post-ride care habit helps keep legs tight and minds calm.

Step-by-Step Recovery Routine

  1. Cool first. Walk 10–15 minutes, hose or sponge with cool water, then towel to damp-dry.
  2. Inspect with intent. Palpate tendons for heat or puffiness. Compare left/right, front/hind.
  3. Apply sensation-free support. Smooth on Draw It Out® 16oz High Potency Gel. No burn. No sting. Under-wrap friendly when used per label.
  4. Compression, correctly. If needed, clean quilts + standing wraps with even pressure. Recheck at 30–45 minutes.
Pro tip: Traveling or showing? Keep a light layer on after evening hand-walks; skip re-wrapping unless directed by your vet.
