Winter Stocked-Up Legs: How to Reduce Swelling & Improve Circulation in Horses
Stocked-up legs show up fast in winter—cold temps, less movement, more stall time. This clear, simple guide shows how to reduce swelling,...
Dan and Wendy Huss of Huss Performance Horses have built a reputation on consistency, feel, and care that shows up long before a horse enters the pen. Their program is not built on shortcuts. It is built on daily decisions.
They began using Draw It Out® products in 2018 after a trusted recommendation and officially joined TeamDiO in 2020. The results made it a permanent part of their barn routine.
Wendy explains that their focus has always been on natural based care. Their homeopath works closely with chiropractic and acupuncture, and product selection follows the same philosophy.
“We liked the fact that the Draw It Out Liniment didn’t smell and didn’t have any burning or blistering with it. We’ve had really great luck using it.”
Based in Scottsdale, Arizona at Smoking Roosters Ranch, Huss Performance Horses typically has 25 to 30 horses in training at any given time. Their success in reining is well known worldwide, and it starts with how horses feel day in and day out.
From NRHA Futurity wins to FEI World Equestrian Games medals, the common thread has always been quality care behind the scenes.
Draw It Out® Liniment Concentrate is mixed and kept in spray bottles at the wash rack. After horses are hosed and squeegeed, they are lightly sprayed from the poll through the neck, shoulders, and down the legs.
“If we have a horse that tends to stock up, we might focus more on that area. But we use it all over. It seems to help with soreness.”
The absence of odor, menthol, or tingle matters just as much as the results. Sensitivity is taken seriously, both for horses and for people handling them every day.
The concentrate format allows flexibility. It can be used as a body spray, soak, or poultice. Quilts soaked overnight remain lightly damp by morning, helping deliver consistent support without irritation.
Formulated to comply with FEI regulations, Draw It Out® Liniment Concentrate fits seamlessly into competition schedules without concern.
At the highest levels, success is built on feel. When horses are comfortable, everything else gets easier.
That is why Draw It Out® remains part of the Huss Performance Horses program year after year.
