Horse Liniments & Poultices

Address your mane man's pain and stiffness to help him feel ready to giddy up and go with horse liniments. There is a wide variety of horse liniments that you can apply to your buddy's body to help alleviate pain, stiffness and soreness naturally.

There are many ways to use horse liniments to support your horse. Many horse caretakers dilute liquid liniments in water to use for a post-workout wash to help cool him down. If you apply it by hand, you can massage his muscles and identify sore or swollen areas before they become a bigger problem. Choosing a liniment that heats up the area; those containing ingredients like menthol, mints and eucalyptus; is especially important for your older horse to help him warm up before or after a workout. You can then cover the area to help the heating sensation last longer.

Horse poultices and horse liniment gels are more ways to take care of your neighing neighbor. Poultices are soft, thick pastes that can be applied to sore muscles to ease pain or wounds to allow the abscess to drain. Some poultices are made with clay, while others are made with bran or herbs. Like horse liniments, some poultices for horses are meant to cool down the area while others are used to warm it up. Horse liniment gel can be applied before a workout or as part of your setting up routine. Consult with your vet to see which ointment for horses is right to help your pal feel his best.
