Step 1

Start With the Basics: What Recovery Really Means

Recovery is not just “slapping on something cold and hoping for the best.” Done right, it is a repeatable pattern that manages heat, swelling, and soreness so your horse stays ride-ready longer.

  • Right after work Check legs and back with your hands and eyes — heat, filling, or reactions to palpation.
  • First layer of support Apply a clean, sensation-free liniment like Draw It Out® to help support comfort and circulation.
  • Escalate when needed Bring in cooling (Ice Bath) or targeted support (MasterMudd™) when legs or soft tissue need more help.

Common Recovery Mistakes

  • Using harsh heat under wraps
  • Only treating legs after problems appear
  • Ignoring subtle stocking up
  • Skipping recovery on “easy” days
  • Mixing products without reading labels

A Simple 3-Layer System for Smarter Recovery

Think in layers instead of random add-ons. That is how you build a routine you can repeat and trust, even on the busiest show weeks.

Layer 1: Daily Liniment

Sensation-free liniment after work and hauling. This is your baseline layer for most horses, most days.

Layer 2: Cooling Support

Cooling work with products like Draw It Out® Ice Bath when legs come back hot, tired, or a little puffy.

Layer 3: Targeted Focus

Deep, focused support in soft-tissue trouble spots with MasterMudd™ EquiBrace when routine care is not quite enough.

Sample Recovery Routines You Can Steal

Every barn is different, but these templates give you a clean starting point. Adjust with your vet or trainer as needed.

Light Schooling Day

  • After ride Check legs and back, then apply 16oz Gel to legs and any mildly tight areas.
  • Evening walk Quick hand-walk, recheck legs. No extra steps unless something feels off.

Hard Work / Show Round

  • Immediately after untacking Apply 16oz Gel to legs and key muscle groups. If legs are hot, plan on Ice Bath in the next block.
  • 30–60 minutes later Use Ice Bath on legs if they are still warm or filling. Add standing wraps if directed by your vet or trainer.
  • Problem spots Apply MasterMudd to any known soft-tissue issue areas per label directions.

Performance Recovery FAQ

Where should I start if I am new to Draw It Out®?

Most riders start with the 16oz High Potency Gel on legs after work. From there, add the 32oz Concentrate for bigger coverage, Ice Bath for hotter legs, and MasterMudd for stubborn soft-tissue spots.

Can I use these products before and after a ride?

Yes. Many barns use Draw It Out before rides to support comfort and after rides to help manage post-work stiffness and stocking up. Always follow label directions and guidance from your vet or trainer.

Are Draw It Out® products show-safe?

Draw It Out liniments are formulated without menthol, alcohol, or harsh herbal heat, making them a competition-safe option when used as directed. Always double-check rules for your specific discipline and level.

How do I know when to escalate from liniment to Ice Bath or MasterMudd?

Use sensation-free liniment as your first layer. If legs come back hot, tired, or puffy, Ice Bath is the next move. If specific areas stay sore or tight, bring in MasterMudd for more focused soft-tissue support.
