Meet the lifelong Oklahoma horsewoman from Riverview Ranch whose Morgan horses, practical care routine, and bond with Merriewold Jesse James GCH show exactly what Real Riders. Real Stories. is all about.
Anna Ryen Rowe has had horses in her life for as long as she can remember. For about 20 years, she has been riding, showing, training, and caring for horses with the kind of steady hands that only come from growing up in the barn.
Her go-to products are Draw It Out® Liniment Concentrate and RESTOREaHORSE® Stay-Put Skin Salve. One helps her manage swelling and comfort. The other earns its spot for minor cuts, scrapes, and the everyday bumps horses seem to collect.
Anna rides and trains at Riverview Ranch in Oklahoma, where her family keeps a barn full of personality, history, and good horses. At 25, she still gets to use her parents’ farm as home base, which means the horses are not just animals she visits. They are part of the daily rhythm of the place.
Her family’s main breed is the Morgan, and that matters. Morgans are known for versatility, and Anna’s riding history proves it. She has competed in western pleasure, carriage driving, jumping, western equitation, classical dressage, western dressage, hunter pleasure, and hunt seat equitation.
Anna’s family has seven horses in total. Six are Morgans, including two chestnut mares who are mother and daughter. Her dad’s horse is a Thoroughbred-Paint cross named Mr. Pibb, named after her sister’s favorite soda when she was five.
Anna’s personal horse is Merriewold Jesse James GCH. To Anna, Jesse is not just the horse she rides. He is her best friend.
When Anna was 12, her parents gifted Jesse to her. She still remembers waiting anxiously to be picked up from school so she could welcome him home. Since then, the two of them have grown up together.
“I recommend Draw It Out® to all the horse people in my life because I know without doubt that it works.”Anna Ryen Rowe
Jesse is talented, opinionated, and, in Anna’s words, a bit of a diva. He loves to show. When he is dressed and ready to compete, Anna can feel him walk with more purpose.
That is the kind of thing only a rider understands. The horse changes underneath you. The ears, the step, the expression, the confidence. It is not just competition. It is partnership.
Anna calls Draw It Out® Liniment Concentrate a game changer for eliminating swelling. She alternates between soaking wraps in it and spraying it directly on problem spots, depending on what the horse in front of her needs that day.
She also pays attention to the horse’s response. When her horses start chewing after she applies it, it gives her peace of mind before she gets in the saddle. To Anna, that means she is riding a horse that is cared for, comfortable, and ready to work.
For the smaller barn headaches, RESTOREaHORSE® Stay-Put Skin Salve is easy to keep close and useful for minor wounds and cuts. Anyone who has horses knows they have a gift for banging themselves up at the worst possible time.
Oklahoma weather asks a lot from horses and horse people. Anna adjusts with the season instead of forcing one routine year-round.
Blanketing and extra hay help her horses stay comfortable when the weather turns cold.
Shelter matters when Oklahoma storms roll through and the horses need protection.
Fly sheets, fans, and morning workouts help her avoid the worst of the scorching heat.
She reaches for liniment when she rides in the heat to help keep swelling from becoming part of the day.
Anna first heard about Draw It Out® from a friend. That is still the strongest kind of marketing in the horse world: one horse person telling another horse person what actually works.
She is not chasing a trend. She is caring for real horses with real needs, across real seasons, in a family barn where the work never really ends. That is the heart of Real Riders. Real Stories.

Some horses need liniment in the wash rack. Some need a wrap routine. Some need a stay-put salve that earns its place in the grooming tote. Start with the horse, the season, and the job at hand.
