The Ultimate Cool-Down Routine: How to Use Draw It Out® Liniment, MasterMudd™, and Hydro-Lyte® After Hard Work
Big days deserve better recovery. Here’s how to bring your horse back to baseline fast, safely, and naturally after tough work or long hauls.
Why Cooling Down Right Matters
Every serious rider knows recovery starts the second the ride ends. A proper cool-down prevents stiffness, supports muscle repair, and helps flush lactic acid. Skip it, and your horse carries tightness and heat into tomorrow’s work—which means slower recovery and higher risk of soreness.
Step 1: Massage with Draw It Out® Liniment
Start by rinsing or wiping sweat and dust off your horse. Then apply Draw It Out® High Potency Gel to large muscle groups—shoulders, back, gaskins, and stifles. The sensation-free, no-menthol formula supports circulation and comfort without sting, scent, or residue.
Prefer spray application? Mix Draw It Out® Concentrate to your desired ratio and lightly mist over tendons and muscles. Wipe in with your hand for even coverage. Safe under wraps, pads, and boots.
Step 2: Overnight Support with MasterMudd™ EquiBrace™
When your horse works hard—especially on consecutive days—add MasterMudd™ EquiBrace™ to your nighttime recovery routine. Apply a thin, even layer to joints and tendons after cleaning and drying the area. Wrap with clean bandages or standing wraps. MasterMudd™ helps maintain joint comfort and elasticity without greasiness or staining.
Step 3: Hydrate Inside with Hydro-Lyte®
The final piece of the recovery puzzle is hydration. Add Hydro-Lyte® Electrolyte + Gut Recovery to clean water or feed after training or hauling. It replenishes essential minerals lost through sweat and helps maintain fluid balance for faster muscle recovery and gut health.
