Horses don’t recognize holidays—but their bodies feel the disruption.
Time off, shortened rides, frozen footing, and inconsistent schedules can quietly add up. By early January, many horses feel stiff, uneven, or just not quite right.
A post‑holiday reset isn’t about pushing fitness. It’s about restoring balance.
Even short breaks can affect how a horse moves.
These changes are normal—but ignoring them can turn temporary stiffness into longer‑term issues.
The fastest way back is the calmest way forward.
Start with light, consistent work that encourages even movement. Walking, long straight lines, and gentle bending allow the body to reorganize without stress.
This philosophy mirrors Prehabilitation: supporting tissues before discomfort becomes limitation.
After time off, tissues can be more sensitive. Overstimulating products may cause tension rather than relief.
A sensation‑free liniment gel helps support circulation and soft tissue comfort without heat, cold, or tingling.
Draw It Out® Liniment Gel is designed for daily use, making it ideal during reset phases when consistency matters more than intensity.
Apply with steady pressure and allow the gel to absorb as part of your routine.
A successful reset depends on habits, not heroics.
If you’re unsure how to tailor care to your horse, the Draw It Out® Solution Finder helps identify the right approach.
Early January is the window to correct small imbalances before work intensifies.
By focusing on movement quality, calm recovery, and consistent support, you help your horse return to work comfortable, willing, and ready.
