What Val Leibel's Story Teaches About Competition Care and Veterinary Judgment

Val Leibel trusts Draw It Out® in her competition routine with a 19-year-old rope horse. She also shared a serious-injury story in her own words. The value of that story is strongest when the testimony stays attributed and veterinary judgment stays in the center.

The line that matters: A rider's experience can explain why trust was earned, but it does not turn a horse-care product into a guaranteed treatment for wounds, pain, inflammation, or infection.

Val's words

“I’m a full believer in this product. I use the gel for competition. My 19-year-old rope horse never shows soreness. I had a horse get badly injured, so I thought I’d try the concentrate to flush the wound. With the pain killer, Epsom salts, and all the other great ingredients, she never had inflammation or infection. Now she is almost completely healed, and my vet team is amazed. I credit Draw It Out®.”

This is Val Leibel's individual account. It includes other care, pain management, and veterinary involvement. Draw It Out® does not present the quoted outcome as a universal promise or clinical conclusion.

Competition trust is built through repetition

Val says she uses the Draw It Out® 16oz Liniment Gel in her competition routine with her senior rope horse. The useful lesson is not that one application guarantees a result. It is that a consistent routine keeps the rider's hands and eyes on the horse before work, after work, and the next morning.

  • Use a familiar product according to the current label.
  • Check heat, filling, skin condition, movement, and attitude.
  • Do not use show day to experiment.
  • Stop when a new problem is hot, painful, one-sided, rapidly changing, or paired with lameness.

Serious injuries change the lane

Val's quote describes using concentrate during a serious injury. That statement remains her testimony. It should not be converted into a company instruction to flush wounds or a promise that a product prevents infection, controls inflammation, relieves pain, or speeds healing.

For a serious wound, call the veterinarian. Deep, gaping, puncture, contaminated, actively bleeding, rapidly swelling, infected-looking, or joint-adjacent wounds need professional assessment. Follow the current label for any topical product and do not combine products or medications without clear direction.

The real rider takeaway

Trust the routine, tell the story honestly, and keep the professionals involved when the situation is bigger than ordinary barn care. That protects the horse and makes the testimonial more believable, not less.
