Draw It Out® Horse Leg Care Guide
Stocking up commonly describes cool, soft, fairly even swelling in a horse's lower legs after stall rest, reduced turnout, or hauling. Mild routine fill often improves with safe movement. Heat, pain, lameness, fever, a wound, or swelling in only one leg deserves a veterinarian's attention.
If your horse is comfortable, sound, and the swelling is cool and similar in both hind legs, begin with 10 to 15 minutes of easy hand-walking and reassess. Do not exercise through pain or lameness.
Hand-walk for 10 to 15 minutes or provide safe turnout. Stop if the horse shows pain, lameness, or worsening swelling.
Use your hands and eyes. Note heat, tenderness, wounds, asymmetry, and whether the swelling changes after movement.
Cold hosing can be a simple option after work or hauling. Follow your veterinarian's directions when swelling is new, painful, or unexplained.
Apply a thin, even layer of Draw It Out® 16oz Liniment Gel as directed. The odorless, colorless formula is made without menthol, capsaicin, alcohol, or witch hazel and is designed for use under pads, boots, and wraps when used as directed.
Standing wraps can be part of an established leg-care program, but technique matters. Start with clean, dry legs and clean padding. Apply even tension, avoid wrinkles, and check the legs at every change. If you are not confident wrapping, ask an experienced professional or veterinarian to show you.
| Situation | First steps | When to call |
|---|---|---|
| Cool fill after a night in the stall | Easy movement, compare both legs, reassess | If it does not improve or becomes hot or painful |
| Fill after hauling | Walk, offer water, inspect for heat or wounds | If one leg is markedly larger or the horse is lame |
| Swelling after hard work | Cool, inspect, and reduce workload until reassessed | If swelling is persistent, painful, or worsening |
Routine stocking up is often cool, soft, and similar in both hind legs, and it may improve with movement. Cellulitis is commonly hot, painful, and more pronounced in one leg, sometimes with fever or lameness. A veterinarian should evaluate suspected cellulitis.
If the legs are cool, the horse is sound, and the fill improves with walking, light work may be reasonable. Do not ride through heat, pain, lameness, or unexplained swelling.
Yes. Apply a thin, even layer to clean, dry legs and use clean, properly fitted wraps. Follow the label and check the legs at each wrap change.
Mild fill may begin to improve after gentle movement. Persistent, recurring, painful, hot, or worsening swelling should be discussed with your veterinarian.
