How to Choose the Right Liniment Gel Routine | Workload Based Guide

Choosing the Right Liniment Gel Routine

The right routine depends on workload, not hype. Match timing, frequency, and format to how your horse actually works.

Start here if needed:

Review the Horse Recovery Playbook for full context before selecting formats.

Light Workload Horses

Casual flatwork, trail rides, light schooling.

  • Occasional pre or post ride support
  • Moderate coverage
  • Smaller format works well for intermittent use

Moderate Training Horses

Schooling days, pattern work, consistent conditioning.

  • Post ride routine built into most rides
  • Next morning reassessment during heavier weeks
  • Mid size format supports consistent use

Intense Performance or Multi Day Shows

Competition weeks, hauling plus work, high intensity training blocks.

  • Full three phase structure
  • Consistent moderate coverage rather than heavy single applications
  • Larger format supports multi day routines

Daily Ranch Work

  • End of day routine after long hours
  • Focus on back, shoulders, hindquarters
  • Larger barn size reduces friction

Senior or Chronic Stiffness

  • Moderate daily structure
  • Observe patterns instead of reacting to single days
  • Choose format that supports repeatability

FAQ

Is one liniment gel better than another?

The best routine matches workload and application preference. Structure matters more than intensity.

How do I know which size to choose?

Choose based on how often you apply. Daily routines benefit from larger formats. Occasional use may not require it.
