What is horse liniment?
Horse liniment is a topical product riders apply to support comfort and recovery as part of everyday riding routines.
Some riders apply a thin layer of liniment gel before light work to support warm-up routines. Calm formulas are preferred to avoid overstimulation.
This approach works best when paired with structured prehabilitation routines.
Liniment gel is commonly applied after riding to support cooling-down habits, especially on legs and other hard-working areas.
Riders often alternate liniment use with proper cooling. Learn when icing is appropriate in our icing guide .
