What we like about it-
Aside from being incredibly effective, the spearmint scent is pleasant and the gel makes it easy to apply.
This liniment can be used before or after workouts and can be used anywhere except on the back before saddling.
The liniment can be made more effective for legs by wrapping it with breathable material.
This liniment can also be used for human use. However, it is considered very strong, so caution is advised.
What we don’t like about it-
If you look at the inactive ingredients you can see that there are a few chemical ingredients that could possibly cause skin irritations.
This is very uncommon, but doing a small patch test is recommended before human use.
Possible side effects include rash and itchiness.
In conclusion,`Absorbine is a terrific product to use for pre and post exercise soreness.

I’m Jack Johnson, a proud Texan and passionate horse lover. Growing up around horses has given me a natural affinity for the equine species and I’ve been able to hone my riding and training skills from an early age.
In recent years I’ve been traveling the country with my horses, competing in rodeos and other events. It was this passion that led me to create my own business, Own the Horse, to help aspiring horse lovers learn the fundamentals of horse care and training. I’m also an active member of the equine community, often volunteering my time to help preserve and promote the culture of horsemanship.
When I’m not riding, I love to spend my free time with my family and friends, camping, and fishing. Exploring the great outdoors and taking in the beauty of the Texas Hill Country is one of my favorite pastimes. I’m also an avid reader and enjoy learning more about the history and culture of the horse world.
