Winter Doesn’t Pause the Pain
Keep your horse comfortable, flexible, and strong — even when the ground’s frozen. A few smart rituals and the right Draw It Out® products will carry you cleanly through the cold.
1) Warm Up Before the Ride
Start with 5–10 minutes of hand-walking, then work Draw It Out® 16 oz High Potency Gel into the shoulders, back, and hindquarters. It helps promote circulation so muscles move freely — without burn, tingle, or residue.
2) Cool Down With Care
After rides or turnout on hard ground, use Draw It Out® RTU Spray to help flush tension and support recovery. Spray, walk, blanket — done. Sensation-free means no “zing” under winter rugs.
3) Target the Hotspots
Winter often exposes the usual suspects — hocks, stifles, and backs. Massage a small amount of MasterMudd™ EquiBrace into those areas daily to stay ahead of soreness.
4) Don’t Forget the Skin
Blankets, sweat, and dry air can stress the skin. Apply Rapid Relief Restorative Cream to soothe and replenish moisture — especially under high-friction areas.

Winter Wellness FAQ
Can I apply Draw It Out® Gel before blanketing?
Yes. The gel is sensation-free and non-greasy, so you can apply, allow a brief set-in, and blanket normally.
When should I reach for RTU Spray vs. the Gel?
Use Gel for focused pre-ride priming and deeper work on big muscle groups; use RTU Spray for quick, even post-ride coverage and daily recovery.
Is this routine show-safe?
Draw It Out® products are designed to be competition-friendly and sensation-free. Always review current governing-body rules for your discipline and region.
Because love doesn’t hibernate.
