Cold mornings. Frozen arenas. Stiff backs. Winter riding can make even seasoned horses feel rusty. But with a few circulation‑boosting habits and the right liniment, you can keep your horse supple and sharp through the season.
Start every session with 10–15 minutes of loose walk and gentle bending. This warms connective tissue and helps prevent micro‑tears when temperatures drop. A patient start equals fewer sore days later.
Before you tack up, apply Draw It Out® High Potency Gel to the legs and large muscle groups. Its natural mineral blend encourages blood flow, supports mobility, and helps ease tightness from cold weather. The no‑burn formula is safe under boots or wraps.
Winter air is dry, and horses often drink less. Keep hydration and electrolyte balance in check with Hydro‑Lyte® GastroCell Support. It helps restore minerals lost during work, promoting healthy digestion and muscle function when cold stress hits hardest.
Even on off days, turn out or hand‑walk your horse. Movement keeps joints lubricated and muscles flexible. Pair with light liniment application to maintain that easy, free stride.
Note: Always consult your veterinarian for persistent stiffness or swelling. This routine supports natural mobility and comfort—it’s not a medical substitute.

My horse had a huge hematoma I spent months trying to get it to heal. The vet ended up lancing it but it was still having issues draining due to swelling. I had done just about everything I could; poultice 12on/12off, cold hose twice a day, bute, and antibiotics. I felt like I couldn’t stay on top of it. ONE day of using this liniment the results showed immediately. The swelling decreased by 50% and he overall looked a lot more comfortable. A few days later it was healed up and scabbed over.
