Draw It Out®

Senior Horse Care — Keep the Fire, Ease the Miles

Older horses give us everything. Our job: keep them comfortable, confident, and moving well. Here’s a barn-simple, show-safe system—no menthol burn, no alcohol sting, no perfume—built to cool, target, and support without the drama.

What changes with senior horses

  • Slower warm-up & cool-down: joints and soft tissue appreciate a patient routine.
  • Stocking up & stiffness: circulation slows; legs may fill after standing.
  • Skin gets sensitive: thinner skin benefits from gentle, fragrance-free care.
  • Heat management: some seniors don’t sweat the same—prioritize calm cooling.

Daily Routines

AM | Loosen & Protect (3–5 minutes)

  1. Hand-walk or light lunge to get joints moving.
  2. Apply a thin, even layer of Draw It Out® 16oz High Potency Gel on legs and large muscle groups.
  3. Boot or wrap if desired; keep gear clean and dry.

PM | Cool & Recover (3–6 minutes)

  1. Whole-body cool with IceBath™: dilute 1:10 to sponge or use RTU spray; let air dry — no rinse.
  2. Target lingering heat with CryoSpray® on hot legs or large muscles; let dry.
  3. Finish with a thin layer of 16oz Gel; wrap overnight if your program calls for it.

Spot-test new routines. Keep products out of eyes and open wounds. Dress for weather so seniors don’t chill after cooling.
