Location: on the fine line between insanity and geniusness | I found some cheap, green epsom salt poultice this summer that I now LOVE! I use it on legs, hoof abcesses- it’s amazing! And it’s super cheap. I’m old school, give me that and bigel oil and I’m set. |

| I was using Sore No More Performance spray and it was ok, I wasn't thrilled with it. I have most recently switched to Draw It Out gel and I really like it so far. I put it on my horses legs, and he immediately stands still and seems to really like me putting it on. It has taken down some of his inflammation and I can tell he moves more freely. I have really sensitive skin and break out easily, and I don't have to wear gloves with this. It doesn't burn or tingle. I bought the concentrate spray but haven't used it yet. On the Draw It Out website, they were having a really good sale, that's where I bought mine from. Shipped out the same day too! |

Location: Southern Indiana | I really like the Easywillow gelotin that Finishline makes. My horse even told me he wanted me to put some on him one night! Haha!! I was massaging him and he knocked it over like "Hey use this!" and then I put it on him and he just relaxed and got this look on his face like it felt much better. That was proof enough for me.
For swelling I prefer to poultice though...which I like the original stuff in the green bucket that finishline makes as well. |

I really wanted to try lame away, emailed the company three times with no response and called twice, both times left a voicemail and no response. |

I added DiO to my website if you are ever interested let me know. We have to advertise at MAP price, but I have a discount for BHW members. |

I’ve never dealt with the company. I get mine from an awesome rep. And her website is www.cbarnquarterhorses.com her name is Charleen Ornellas. A fellow barrel racer as well. She will answer all your questions! They also make a lame away body wash that is out of this world. |

| Might not be what you're looking for...but my two favorites for swelling are DMSO and furazone =] Careful with DMSO, it does get hot, so some of the more sensitive horses will kick out (if it's on a leg). Furazone and saran wrap is my go to for swelling =] Good luck! |

Location: Wyoming | Does DiO have the tingling sensation? I have a horse that refuses to have anything on its legs if it tingles or has too much of a cooling sensation. |

No, it does not tingle or have a cooling effect. |

Location: Illinois | Draw It Out is my favorite, seems to work for my horse the best. No smell, no cooling sensation on my hands. I use it on myself and I can't necessarily feel it when I apply it, but it does seem to help me feel better. I rub it up my neck for tension headaches and after about 15 minutes the headache is significantly dulled or gone. I use it on my jaw for when my TMJ gets bad and it seems to help. If you've got one that's super sensitive to liniment I'd test a small area. I blistered one of mine years ago with Vetrolin (2 cap fulls in a bucket of water, very little) and he's hyper sensitive in that area. I sprayed the 30/70 DiO mixture on that spot (unfortunately his back) and burned him again, but it didn't blister this time. He was out a full month mid season. I still love the stuff and don't blame the product, but I do know I can't use anything on his back anymore because of the Vetrolin. I keep a bottle of DiO in he barn and in my house ;) |

| Draw it out! My husband messed his knee up during a run getting off to tie his steer and his knee swells almost daily esp if he is on it alot. Long story short if I put DIO on his knee about 2 days in a row the swelling goes completely away as does the heat he gets in it and it feels much better! I have yet to try in on a horse but on a human it works. |
