Riding Through Weather Swings – How to Keep Your Horse Comfortable with Draw It Out® Liniment

Introduction:

Spring and fall are beautiful... but unpredictable. One day it’s sunny and warm, the next it’s cold and damp. 🌦️ And while we can throw on a jacket, your horse feels those swings deep in their joints and muscles.

Just like people get achy when the weather changes, horses can show signs of stiffness, soreness, or changes in behavior. But don’t worry—we’ve got you (and your horse) covered.

Here’s how to keep your horse comfortable, loose, and ride-ready, no matter what the weather throws your way.

1. Watch for Weather-Related Discomfort

When temps bounce up and down, it can impact your horse’s joints, muscles, and overall comfort. Keep an eye out for these red flags:

✅ Common Signs of Weather-Triggered Soreness:
✔ Stiffness at the start of your ride
✔ Shortened stride or reluctance to bend
✔ Swelling in joints or stocking up overnight

💡 Pro Tip: Know your horse’s baseline movement and mood so you can spot changes early!

2. Warm Up Thoroughly Before Each Ride

Cool mornings and fluctuating temps call for longer, more mindful warm-ups.

✅ Your Go-To Warm-Up Routine:
✔ Walk for 10–15 minutes before asking for harder work
✔ Use stretching exercises like long-and-low work or lateral movements
✔ On brisk days, consider riding with a quarter sheet to keep their back warm

💡 Pro Tip: A slow, steady start helps prevent muscle strain and soft tissue injuries—especially when the weather’s unpredictable.

3. Use Draw It Out® Liniment for Muscle Support

This is where Draw It Out® Liniment becomes your best barn buddy. Daily use keeps your horse’s muscles happy no matter the temperature.

✅ How to Use Liniment for Weather Support:
✔ Apply to legs, shoulders, and back before and after riding
✔ Promotes circulation, reduces inflammation, and eases tightness
✔ Safe for use daily—even for sensitive horses

💡 Perfect for:
✔ Cold mornings
✔ Show prep
✔ Post-ride recovery
✔ Just keeping your horse feeling good all season

4. Turnout and Movement Matter

Horses stuck in stalls during cool spells are more prone to stiffness and stocking up.

✅ Keep Them Moving:
✔ Provide daily turnout, even if it’s short
✔ If turnout isn’t possible, hand walk or lightly lunge
✔ Movement supports circulation and helps flush out inflammation

💡 Pro Tip: Even 10–15 minutes of light activity can go a long way toward keeping joints mobile and muscles limber.

You can’t control the weather—but you CAN control your horse’s comfort. With smart warm-ups, consistent movement, and daily use of Draw It Out® Liniment, you’ll keep your horse feeling their best—even when Mother Nature can’t make up her mind.

✅ Ride on. ✅ Stay ready. ✅ Keep your horse comfortable in every season.
