How to Reduce Swelling in a Horse’s Leg

Do the quick checks, cool what’s hot, apply a comfort-focused liniment thin & even, and watch the clock. Here’s the no-drama plan riders use every day—label-true and show-smart.

Quick Decision Tree

What you notice First move Next step
Hot & puffy after work Cool with water or IceBath™; dry thoroughly Apply DIO Spray or Gel thin & even
Localized knot/sore spot Clean & dry Target with MasterMudd® EquiBrace per label
Mild stocking-up, not hot Hand-walk/light movement; brush off & dry Run DIO thin, even; reassess in AM
Open wound / marked lameness Stop. Call your veterinarian. Follow veterinary direction before applying products

Always follow labels. Coverage beats thickness; consistency beats drama.

24-Hour Routine (Simple & Effective)

  1. Assess: Heat? Wound? Lameness? Call your vet if severe.
  2. Cool: If hot, cool-hose or use IceBath™ 10–15 min; then dry.
  3. Apply: DIO thin & even. Add MasterMudd® to pinpoint areas.
  4. Wrap (optional): Only per label/vet. Even tension; check comfort/circulation.
  5. Monitor: Recheck at 6–12 hours and next morning. Continue, adjust, or call your vet.
Pro tip: A clean, dry leg + thin, even coats outperforms heavy layers every time.

Label-first: For external equine use only. Avoid eyes and mucous membranes. Apply to clean, dry skin. Store capped at room temperature and out of direct sun. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
