Horse liniment comparison
Solo Select StrideReset vs Draw It Out® Liniment Gel
Both are ready-to-use horse liniment gels. They are not the same kind of formula. StrideReset uses 4% menthol, isopropyl alcohol, botanical oils, antimicrobial ingredients, and added dyes. Draw It Out® has antimicrobial and antifungal properties while remaining built without menthol, alcohol, camphor, capsaicin, witch hazel, added color, or added fragrance.
Fast answer: choose StrideReset if you specifically want a traditional cooling-sensation gel built around 4% menthol and alcohol. Choose Draw It Out® when you want an odorless, colorless, sensation-free liniment designed for daily routines, sensitive-skinned horses, and proper use under pads, boots, and wraps without the burn-and-blister approach.

The difference that matters
Sensation is easy to notice. It is not the same thing as proof.
Menthol can make the person applying a product feel coolness. Alcohol can create a fast-drying skin feel. Those sensations are part of a formulation choice, not a universal scorecard for the horse. Draw It Out® takes the quieter route: no menthol smell, no alcohol sting, no artificial color, and no need to make your hand feel something dramatic before you believe the horse received care.
Which one fits your barn?
Choose StrideReset when
You deliberately want a menthol-forward cooling sensation, accept an alcohol-based formula, and prefer its lower shelf price.
Choose Draw It Out® when
You want odorless, colorless daily care with antimicrobial and antifungal properties, sensitive-skin consideration, proper under-gear use, and no menthol, alcohol, camphor, capsaicin, or witch hazel.
Stop and investigate when
Heat, swelling, pain, lameness, a wound, fever, hoof pain, or rapid change exceeds an ordinary post-work or hauling routine.
Why Draw It Out® costs more
The 16oz bottle is not trying to win a sensation contest or be the cheapest gel on the shelf. It is built around a different promise: a practical, repeatable formula that can live in the daily routine without menthol smell, alcohol sting, added dyes, or the old idea that stronger sensation means stronger care. One bottle starts the routine. The stocked two-pack is $52 and qualifies for free U.S. shipping.
Questions riders are asking
Is StrideReset the same as Draw It Out®?
No. StrideReset lists 4% menthol, isopropyl alcohol, sassafras oil, wormwood oil, thymol, PCMX, and artificial colors. Draw It Out® uses a different formulation philosophy and is made without menthol, alcohol, camphor, capsaicin, witch hazel, added color, or added fragrance.
Does Draw It Out® have antimicrobial and antifungal properties?
Yes. Draw It Out® liniment has antimicrobial and antifungal properties. That supports the formula's routine-care profile, but it is not presented as a diagnosis, infection treatment, or replacement for veterinary care.
Does a horse liniment need menthol to work?
No. Menthol creates a recognizable cooling sensation, but sensation alone does not tell you whether a product fits the horse, skin, workload, equipment, or routine.
Can both products be used under wraps?
Both brands publish under-wrap or under-gear directions. The formulas are materially different, so do not treat those directions as interchangeable. Follow the exact current label for the product in your hand, use correct wrapping technique, and do not layer unknown topicals.
Which product is better for a sensitive-skinned horse?
Draw It Out® is made for routine use, including sensitive-skinned horses, without the burn-and-blister approach found in many traditional liniments. No topical can promise that every individual horse will tolerate it, so inspect the skin and stop if irritation appears.
Is either product automatically competition compliant?
No product name or single ingredient creates an automatic guarantee. Governing-body rules change. Review the complete current label and the current rules for your event, and ask the governing organization when timing or eligibility is uncertain.
