Draw It Out® Reading time: ~6 min Updated: Sept 19, 2025

Mud. Sweat. Hose-downs. Barn life is hard on skin - especially pasterns and cannon bones. This guide shows how Rapid Relief Restorative Cream fits a barrier-first routine that supports a clean, protected skin surface in wet, muddy conditions - without grease, dyes, or fragrance.

Why “Barrier-First” Works in the Real World

  • Shield A breathable, water-resistant layer helps guard skin from wet, muddy conditions.
  • Support Zinc-driven hygiene support helps keep problem areas clean between rinses.
  • Simplicity Non-greasy, non-staining formula is easy to reapply - no mess, no strong scent.

Note: For deep wounds, spreading issues, or eye-area concerns, consult your veterinarian.

What’s Inside (Purpose-Driven)

  • Zinc Oxide - forms a breathable, water-resistant protective layer.
  • Zinc Pyrithione - supports skin hygiene and helps keep problem areas clean.
  • Aloe • Shea • Manuka Honey - light moisture and comfortable skin feel.
  • Red Algae • Arnica • Chamomile - conditioning botanicals for weathered areas.
  • Coconut-derived conditioners - smooth glide without grease.

Formulated without fragrance, dyes, menthol, alcohol, or witch hazel.

The 3-Step Rapid Relief Routine

  1. Rinse or Wipe Clean. Remove mud and grit; pat dry.
  2. Apply a Generous Layer. Focus on cannon bones, pasterns, heels, and high-splash zones.
  3. Reapply as Needed. After turnout or rinsing, add a fresh layer to maintain the protective barrier.

Tip: During wet spells, build a rhythm - AM application, reapply after turnout or rinsing, touch-up in the evening.

Do / Don’t

Do

  • Patch test on sensitive horses.
  • Keep a towel handy to dry legs before application.

Don’t

  • Don’t layer over harsh chemicals; clean gently first.
  • Don’t apply near eyes or mucous membranes.
  • Don’t skip reapplication after heavy mud or rinsing.
