Performance horses operate under consistent physical demand. Training, hauling, competition, and recovery place stress on muscles, joints, and soft tissue that must be managed thoughtfully to maintain soundness and longevity.
Topical liniments have long been part of equine care routines, particularly for post-work support and recovery. Draw It Out® Veterinary Strength Liniment has been used in performance barns for years, but this field evaluation was designed to more closely observe how it performs when used consistently as part of a structured program.
The goal of this evaluation was to observe whether consistent use of Draw It Out® Veterinary Strength Liniment could support comfort, mobility, and recovery indicators in performance horses during a structured training cycle.
This was not intended as a clinical trial or medical study. It was a controlled, observational field evaluation conducted with the involvement of veterinarians, trainers, and handlers working under normal training conditions.
Forty actively training performance horses of similar age, breed type, and workload were observed over a defined period. Horses were maintained on their normal training, feeding, and care programs throughout the evaluation.
Horses were divided into two groups. One group incorporated Draw It Out® Veterinary Strength Liniment into their daily care routine. The comparison group continued standard barn practices without the product.
Horses in the Draw It Out® group received topical application to primary work areas following exercise. Application frequency and placement were consistent across the group and aligned with standard liniment use in performance barns.
No changes were made to training intensity, veterinary care, or other recovery practices during the observation period.
Trainers and veterinarians monitored the horses for observable indicators commonly used in performance programs, including:
Observations were recorded at the start of the program, throughout the evaluation period, and during follow-up training phases.
Horses incorporating Draw It Out® Veterinary Strength Liniment were consistently observed to appear more comfortable post-work and quicker to settle following exertion when compared to baseline observations.
Handlers noted improved ease of movement during warm-up and reduced visible stiffness in some horses during intensive training weeks.
No adverse skin reactions or sensitivity issues were observed during the evaluation period.
While this evaluation does not replace formal clinical research, the results support what many trainers and veterinarians have reported anecdotally for years: consistent use of Draw It Out® Veterinary Strength Liniment can be a useful part of a broader performance and recovery program.
The liniment’s sensation-free, odor-free formulation allows for regular use without irritation or distraction, making it suitable for sensitive horses and high-frequency application.
As with all equine care products, Draw It Out® is intended to complement veterinary care, not replace it. Individual results may vary, and consultation with a veterinarian is always recommended.
This field evaluation reinforces the role of Draw It Out® Veterinary Strength Liniment as a practical, everyday tool for supporting comfort and recovery in performance horses.
When used consistently as part of a structured program, it may help horses stay comfortable through demanding training cycles and support long-term soundness.
