Start with the job

Targeted support

Use liniment gel when you want controlled placement on clean, intact skin.

Broad coverage

Use spray or concentrate when the job is larger-area coverage after work, travel, or turnout.

Routine building

Use Prehabilitation when the goal is a repeatable care system, not a one-time rescue.

Where riders usually apply liniment gel

Common areas

  • Legs and tendons
  • Hocks and joints
  • Back, shoulders, and large muscle groups
  • Knees and fetlocks

Good habits

  • Apply to clean, intact skin
  • Use a small amount first
  • Spread evenly
  • Recheck the horse instead of adding more automatically

How to apply

  1. Brush away dirt, sweat, and loose debris.
  2. Apply a small amount to the specific area.
  3. Rub in until evenly spread.
  4. Use consistently as part of the right routine.

Choose the format

When not to use liniment gel

  • Do not apply on open or broken skin.
  • Do not use to cover up lameness.
  • Do not wrap over wet, irritated, or damaged skin.
  • Stop and get professional guidance when swelling, heat, pain, weakness, or behavior changes are concerning.

FAQ

Is liniment gel better than spray?

Not always. Liniment gel is better for targeted placement. Spray is better for fast, broad coverage.

Can I use liniment gel under wraps?

Only when the skin is clean and intact, the layer is thin, and the wrapping routine is appropriate.

Where should I go for the whole recovery system?
