Natural vs. Chemical Horse Care: Understanding the Benefits
As horse owners become more conscious of what goes into their animals' bodies—and what goes on them—natural horse care is gaining momentum. But what’s the real difference between natural and chemical equine products? And does it actually matter?
Let’s explore the key benefits of choosing natural over synthetic products and how it affects your horse’s overall well-being.
What’s in Chemical-Based Horse Products?
Many traditional liniments and sprays contain ingredients like menthol, camphor, alcohol, FD&C dyes, propylene glycol, or methyl salicylate. While these may offer fast results, they can also cause drying, irritation, or discomfort—especially for horses with sensitive skin.
Why Choose Naturally Derived Formulas?
Natural equine care products, like those from Draw It Out®, are formulated with ingredients like arnica, aloe, magnesium sulfate, glycerin, and botanical extracts. They’re designed to be gentle on skin while delivering effective results.
- No harsh chemicals – Ideal for daily use and sensitive horses.
- Gentler on the skin – Minimizes reactions and irritation.
- Safe under tack or wraps – No burn or tingle sensations.
Is Natural Always Better?
Natural doesn’t mean weaker. Many botanical-based formulas have powerful anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and soothing effects—without the risks associated with synthetics. However, always check the label. “Natural” doesn’t mean much unless the company backs it up with transparency and safety data.
