Draw It Out® Liniment Concentrate Use Guide
Use liniment concentrate when broader coverage, clean refill systems, spray bottles, sponging, or a flexible barn routine makes more sense than targeted liniment gel.
Short answer: Start with the job, inspect the horse, use clean equipment, and mix Draw It Out® Liniment Concentrate exactly as the current label directs. Label every mixed bottle. Use the concentrate for broader application and choose liniment gel when precise, stay-put placement is the better fit.
What liniment concentrate is best for
Broader coverage
A mixed spray or sponge routine can be easier when you need to cover a larger body area than a targeted liniment gel application.
Repeat barn routines
Concentrate fits multi-horse barns and frequent-use programs when bottles are mixed, labeled, stored, and cleaned consistently.
Wash-rack flexibility
Use it when the current label supports a sponge, bucket, or spray routine and the horse in front of you is appropriate for routine topical care.
How much does one 32oz jug prepare? At the current 50/50 label mix, one 32oz jug makes 64oz total, enough to fill two 32oz bottles. The two-jug option makes 128oz total at that same mix. Use the current label to choose the ratio for the specific routine. The 50/50 example is not a universal dilution.
Choose the format by the job
Concentrate is not automatically stronger or better than another format. It is more flexible. The right choice depends on where you are applying it, how much area you need to cover, and how the routine fits the horse.
- Liniment concentrate: broader coverage, label-directed mixing, spray bottles, sponging, refills, and higher-frequency barn use.
- Liniment gel: targeted hand placement on specific areas when a ready-to-use, stay-put format makes more sense.
- Ready-to-use spray: fast coverage without mixing when speed and simplicity matter.

Label-first mixing routine
- Check the horse first. Look at movement, attitude, skin, heat, swelling, tenderness, recent workload, and anything that differs from normal.
- Start with clean equipment. Use a clean bucket, bottle, sprayer, sponge, and clean water. Do not reuse a mystery container.
- Follow the current label. Do not invent a dilution or rely on an unlabeled bottle mixed weeks ago.
- Label the container. Record what is inside, the dilution, and when it was mixed so everyone in the barn knows what they are handling.
- Apply with purpose. Cover the intended area evenly without treating more product as better care.
- Recheck the horse. Watch the skin and the horse's comfort. Stop and reassess if the response is unusual or the original concern changes.
Before work
A pre-ride application begins with a normal baseline, not with a bottle. Walk the horse, compare both sides, check tack contact areas, and make sure you are not trying to cover up lameness, marked heat, sudden swelling, pain, or abnormal behavior.
If the horse is moving normally and the product label fits the planned use, apply the concentrate as directed and allow the routine to settle before tack, boots, or wraps are added. Product use does not replace a progressive warm-up.
After work, hauling, or a long barn day
After work, first note how the horse is moving and what the legs, back, shoulders, and skin feel like. Cool and dry the horse as the weather and workload require. Then choose concentrate for broader coverage or liniment gel for targeted placement.
After hauling, offer water, allow safe movement when appropriate, and compare the horse with its normal travel baseline. A topical routine should support observation, not distract from a horse that is not unloading, walking, drinking, or acting normally.

Skin, wounds, and bandaging
Use Draw It Out® Liniment Concentrate on clean, intact skin and according to the current label. Avoid eyes, mucous membranes, open wounds, and other sensitive areas. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and contact your veterinarian.
A wound is not a routine mixing question. Deep, puncture, gaping, contaminated, infected-looking, heavily bleeding, or worsening wounds need prompt professional guidance. Open, draining, irritated, or questionable skin also changes the bandaging decision. Do not cover an area automatically or trap moisture and drainage under wraps. Keep the area observable and follow a veterinarian-directed wound and bandage plan.
Pause the routine and get help when
- The horse is non-weight-bearing or markedly lame.
- Heat, swelling, pain, or asymmetry is sudden, severe, or worsening.
- A wound is deep, punctured, near a joint or tendon sheath, contaminated, or showing infection concerns.
- The horse has fever, dullness, poor intake, dehydration concerns, or abnormal behavior.
- The response does not match the horse's normal post-work or travel pattern.
Use the Draw It Out® Product Safety Guide for a broader safety route.
Clean storage and barn handoff
- Keep concentrate capped and stored according to its label.
- Rinse bottles, buckets, sponges, and sprayers before the next mix.
- Discard unlabeled or questionable mixtures instead of guessing.
- Do not combine concentrate with DMSO, fly spray, oils, creams, or another topical unless current directions or qualified guidance specifically support that combination.
- Leave clear instructions when another rider, groom, or barn manager will handle the routine.
Frequently asked questions
Does Draw It Out® Liniment Concentrate have one universal dilution?
No. Follow the current product label for the job and format you are using. Do not copy an old ratio from an unlabeled bottle or a different product.
How much prepared product does one 32oz jug make at 50/50?
It makes 64oz total, enough to fill two 32oz bottles. The two-jug option makes 128oz total at the same mix. Follow the current label when choosing a ratio for a specific routine.
Can I use liniment concentrate before riding?
Use it before work only when the horse's baseline is normal, the label supports the planned application, and the product will not interfere with tack, boots, or observation. A topical does not replace warm-up.
Can I use liniment concentrate after riding or hauling?
Yes, when label directions and the horse's condition fit routine topical care. Check movement, heat, swelling, skin, hydration, and behavior before deciding what comes next.
When should I choose liniment gel instead?
Choose liniment gel when you want targeted, hands-on placement in a ready-to-use format. Choose concentrate when broader coverage or a clean refill and mixing system fits better.
Can I use Liniment Concentrate on an open wound?
Not as a routine Concentrate application. Current 32oz Concentrate directions say to use it on clean, intact skin and avoid open wounds. Follow your veterinarian's wound and bandage plan.
