How is Bigeloil different from other liniments like Absorbine products?
Bigeloil is a traditional-style liniment known for its strong cooling sensation and flexible use as either a direct application or diluted rinse. Compared to many Absorbine liniments, which often include a wider blend of herbal extracts and come in multiple formats like gels and washes, Bigeloil is more streamlined and focused on classic liniment use for post-exercise refreshment and muscle support routines.

What is the difference between Bigeloil and Bigeloil Gel?
Bigeloil liquid is thin and versatile, allowing it to be rubbed on larger areas or mixed with water for a full-body rinse after exercise. Bigeloil Gel has a thicker consistency that stays exactly where it is applied, making it better for precise areas like legs, joints, or tendons where controlled placement is preferred, and less runoff is desired.

Can Bigeloil be used under wraps?
Bigeloil liquid is generally not ideal for heavy wrapping after direct application, since its thinner consistency can spread and increase heat under bandages. If used with wraps, it should be applied very lightly, allowed to settle first, and paired only with breathable, loose wrapping to reduce the chance of skin sensitivity or overheating.

Can Bigeloil be used as a body wash after riding?
Yes. Bigeloil is commonly diluted with water and used as a post-workout rinse over the horse’s body. This helps remove sweat and surface debris while creating a cooling effect across large muscle groups. It is often used after hard workouts, long rides, or warm-weather exercise when horses need a full-body refresh.

Do you need to wash Bigeloil off after applying it?
No, it is usually left on after use. When applied as a diluted rinse, it is allowed to air dry on the coat. When used directly on specific areas, it is also typically left in place unless grooming, tack application, or cleanup requires removal. The horse’s skin should be checked for any sensitivity after use.
