Horse Muscle Recovery Liniment Guide

4–6 minute read • Updated for show-safe care

Horses work hard for us. Helping their muscles recover isn’t complicated—it’s about timing, routine, and the right product. Here’s a checklist for making recovery predictable and effective.

Post-Ride Recovery Checklist

1. Cool-Down First — Walk 5–10 minutes to lower heart rate and prevent lactic acid build-up.
2. Clean the Surface — Rinse or towel off sweat and dust so liniment can contact the skin.
3. Apply Liniment — Massage Draw It Out® 16oz Gel along back, loins, and legs with steady hand pressure.
4. Wrap if Needed — Use standing wraps on heavy work days. Allow liniment to absorb first so it’s not slick.
5. Check Skin — Spot-treat with Rapid Relief Restorative Cream if scratches or rubs appear.

Why Show-Safe Matters

Liniments with no menthol, alcohol, or banned agents can be used daily—even during competition. That means consistent routines without worry. See our primer: Liniments with Purpose – Show-Safe Rider’s Guide.
