Don’t Cheap Out: The High Cost of “Cheap” Horse Care
A bargain isn’t a bargain if it stings, stinks, and underperforms. Here’s how pros compare liniments, why disciplined routines beat drama, and how to protect both your horse and your wallet.
What “Cheap” Really Costs
Burn ≠ better: Harsh alcohol/menthol bite can limit use when you need it most.
Big smell, small results: Perfume and dyes don’t help recovery—and can irritate.
Messy under tack: Greasy or sticky residue disrupts real routines.
Inconsistent claims: If the label is vague, the results will be too.
Bottom line: Choose a liniment you can run daily—thin, even, label-true.
Label-first: For external equine use only. Avoid eyes and mucous membranes. Apply on clean, dry skin. Store capped and away from heat/sun. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
