Products that I use on a regular basis and recommend:

Draw It Out® Mud Poultice

A thicker topical poultice designed to help support recovery after training, hauling, competition, or hard work. Often used to help cool, soothe, and support areas experiencing swelling, edema, soreness, or inflammation. Commonly applied to legs, joints, and soft tissue areas.

---

Draw It Out® Gel

A targeted, high-potency liniment gel used before or after work to help support muscle comfort, soft tissue recovery, circulation, and mobility. The gel formula stays where applied, making it ideal for focused areas such as shoulders, back, stifles, tendons, ligaments, and joints.

---

Velocity EMUGEL

A premium topical emulgel formulated with a patented carnosine-based delivery system designed to support muscle recovery and performance. Carnosine works as a buffering agent within muscle tissue and may help reduce the effects of muscle fatigue associated with lactic acid buildup during exercise. Commonly used before or after performance to support mobility, recovery, and muscle function.

 

❌ When Liniments & Poultice Should NOT Be Used

Liniments and poultice are supportive tools and are never applied by default. They are used only with owner or trainer permission and when appropriate for the individual horse.

They should NOT be used when:

• The horse has open wounds, skin irritation, scabs, or dermatitis

• There is unknown swelling, acute injury, or suspected infection

• The horse has a history of skin sensitivity or adverse reactions

• The area has recently received injections, surgery, or invasive treatment

• The horse is experiencing heat, fever, or systemic illness

• Veterinary guidance has restricted topical products

• The horse shows discomfort or behavioral resistance to topical application

✔ When in doubt, topical products are not applied and the veterinarian is consulted.

 

✔ Liniments and poultice are used only with owner or trainer permission and are not applied in cases of skin irritation, unknown swelling, acute injury, or when veterinary guidance advises against topical products.

❌ When Electrolytes Are NOT Recommended

Electrolytes are a supportive tool, not a default.

Do NOT recommend electrolytes when:

1. The horse is not drinking well

2. Clean, fresh water is not immediately available

3. The horse has known kidney or metabolic concerns (vet guidance required)

4. The horse is ill or febrile

5. The horse is already receiving electrolyte supplementation

6. Cool weather + light bodywork + minimal sweating

Hydration can often be maintained with plain water alone.

🧠 Paste vs. Solid Electrolytes — When to Choose

• Paste: Immediate post-session support, picky eaters, travel/show settings

• Solid: Horses already eating grain/mash, lower-stress administration

Selection is based on horse preference, hydration status, and owner approval.

🩺 Vet-Facing Explanation 

All supportive modalities (massage, red light, thermography, electrolytes, topical products) are used within scope, guided by observation and horse response. No medical diagnoses are made. Findings may be shared with the veterinarian to support collaborative care.
