The Pre-Event Routine That Sets Show Horses Apart

You’ve put in the hours, loaded the trailer, and walked into the showgrounds. Now what?

Keeping your horse sound, supple, and mentally dialed in on show day is what separates solid from standout. The lights, noise, new footing, and energy spike more than nerves—they tighten backs, stiffen joints, and scatter focus.

That’s why top riders never skip the Draw It Out® Pre-Event Routine.

🎯 1. Why Show Days Hit Different

Travel, early mornings, temporary stalls, and electric energy affect even the calmest horses. Without a proper pre-event routine, you risk:

A tight, tense back

Sticky stifles and stiff joints

Distracted, flighty energy

Sluggish muscle engagement

And none of that wins the class.

🏇 2. Your Show Day Warm-Up Plan

Set the tone for the ride before the warm-up ring with this routine:

✅ Walk for 15–20 minutes to loosen the mind and body
✅ Apply Draw It Out® Liniment to:

Back and loins

Stifles and glutes

All four legs (especially post-haul)

✅ Stretch gently with a few carrot stretches or slow, soft circles
✅ Tack up and ride with patience—you’ve already laid the groundwork

💪 3. Why Draw It Out® Makes the Difference

No menthol, no sting—won’t add stress to a big day

Deep muscle penetration for better flexibility and focus

Show-safe and residue-free, with no banned substances

Naturally derived, non-irritating, and safe under wraps or boots

With Draw It Out®, your horse isn’t just “warmed up”—they’re mentally and physically ready to perform.

Show day should feel like a victory lap, not a gamble. Prep with confidence, ride with purpose, and recover like a pro.

Add Draw It Out® Liniment to your pre-event ritual and give your horse the edge they need to shine when it counts most.
