How to Use Liniment Before and After Bathing Your Horse

4–6 minute read • Built for riders who believe in recovery as ritual

Bath time isn’t just about a clean coat—it’s the easiest time to reset muscle tone and circulation. With Draw It Out®’s sensation-free liniments, you can turn an ordinary rinse into a recovery routine your horse will love.

Step 1: Pre-Bath Check & Light Application

Before you ever grab the hose, take 2 minutes to feel along your horse’s legs, shoulders, and back for tension. Apply a thin layer of Draw It Out® 16 oz High Potency Gel to tight or loaded areas. It primes circulation and helps muscles loosen before water ever hits the skin.

Step 2: Bathe as Usual

Use your favorite mild shampoo and rinse thoroughly. The pre-bath liniment will already be working, supporting blood flow while you scrub. Keep water temperature moderate—lukewarm is best for tired muscles.

Step 3: Post-Bath Liniment Pass

Once you’ve scraped excess water, apply a second, lighter pass of Draw It Out®. For larger coverage, mix Draw It Out® 32 oz Concentrate at 70:30 (water:concentrate) in a spray bottle. Mist across the topline and large muscles, then hand-massage toward the heart for improved circulation.

Step 4: Hydrate and Recover

After bathing and liniment, offer fresh water mixed with Hydro-Lyte® Electrolyte + Gut Recovery. Hydration helps flush by-products from work and supports muscle repair from the inside out.

When to Use This Routine

• After intense workouts or competition days
• During warm-weather rides when horses sweat heavily
• For post-trail wash-downs and camp rides
• Before evening turnout after a long day of lessons
