Where the shoulder, back, and loin areas are involved, best results will be obtained by( 1) first applying hot( but do not scald), steaming towels to the affected area, so as to stimulate natural circulation; and( 2) then following with an application of liniment, rubbed until dry.
Where a " body wash and brace” is desired, use the liniment according to the manufacturer’ s directions. Such a brace may be used as a leg and body wash after workouts, to relieve fatigue and overexertion and prevent soreness. Sponge generously over the horse’ s body and legs.

Liniment for the Horse
A good liniment, properly used, will hasten and assist nature in returning an injured part to normal and relieve fatigue, overexertion and soreness.
Exercise and work cause greatly increased need for oxygen, carbohydrates, and other nutrients of muscular tissues. When a muscle contracts, certain mechanical, electrical, chemical, and thermal changes take place. It has been shown that during prolonged hard work the expenditure of energy may be eight times greater than during rest; and during very intense muscular use, such as racing, horses may expend 100 times more energy than at rest. Such activity cannot be long maintained because of the onset of fatigue. Fatigue is produced when wastes accumulate faster than they can be removed by the circulation; and, unless the condition is rectified, aches, pains, and soreness follow. Thus it is imperative that the circulation of the blood be increased in proportion to the demands of the muscle for energy, food, and removal of waste materials. The application of massage, heat, and counterirritants are methods of providing muscles( and tendons, ligaments, and skin) with better blood circulation.
Liniment is an astringent. Its use, along with massage, stimulates circulation, assists the body in removing waste products of muscle metabolism, and hastens nature in returning an injured part to normal.
The use of liniment is recommended for the following conditions: lameness, stiffness, soreness, strained tendons, sore shins, certain types of arthritis, and swellings, bumps, and bruises. It hastens recovery time and helps to prevent every-day injuries from turning into serious problems.
Also, liniment may be used as a body wash or brace after strenuous workouts or transportation, especially on the horse’ s legs, to relieve fatigue and overexertion and prevent soreness.
Liniment should be applied( pour-on or dab) to the affected area at full strength, except when used as a body wash and brace. Then, the tissue should be massaged vigorously for 3 to 5 minutes to stimulate circulation, and the animal should be allowed to rest. Repeat treatment every 3 to 4 hours until relief is obtained, and as necessary thereafter.
