Horse Muscle Recovery 101: From Micro-Tears to “Ahh, Better” | Draw It Out®

The ride might be over, but recovery is just beginning. This simple routine helps muscles reset, circulation rebalance, and tomorrow’s ride feel effortless.
Every stride builds heat and metabolic waste in muscle tissue. Without a proper cooldown, that buildup lingers—causing stiffness, swelling, or slow recovery. A good cooldown brings your horse’s heart rate down gradually, flushes muscles, and primes soft tissue for repair.
For heavy work, travel, or mild swelling, apply a thin layer of Draw It Out® Gel beneath clean standing wraps. Never wrap over open wounds or dirty legs. For light work, air-dry and brush out the next day for a clean finish.
