Show-Ring Warm-Up: Calm, Clean, and Show-Safe with Draw It Out® Liniment
Your show ring start is decided in the warm-up. Use this calm, sensation-free routine—hands, timing, and a light liniment pass—to prime muscles without zing or residue.
Why the Warm-Up Sets the Tone
The way your horse feels in the first ten minutes dictates the round that follows. Instead of “cranking up” muscle heat, aim for soft activation and quiet focus. Menthol or alcohol-heavy products might feel flashy—but they often tighten tissue and distract the horse before you even reach the gate.
The Calm, Clean Routine (Takes Five Minutes)
- Start with your hands. Feel for tight spots along the neck, shoulders, and gaskins. Note where the muscle feels flat or cool—those are your prep targets.
- Apply a light layer of Draw It Out® Gel. Massage a small amount of Draw It Out® 16oz High Potency Gel into those areas using long strokes toward the heart. It activates circulation without burn, scent, or residue.
- Walk and stretch. Hand-walk or long-trot for five minutes, letting the liniment do its work while muscles lengthen and loosen.
- Wipe clean. If dust settles, use a soft towel to remove surface residue before tacking up. The formula absorbs clean, so your tack stays spotless.
Why Draw It Out® Works for Show Warm-Ups

- ✅ Show-safe. FEI/USEF compliant for all levels of competition.
