How Kenneth Fomby Keeps His Horses Cool on Hot August Nights

Ranch-Tested Summer Recovery for Real Horsemen

When the sun sets but the heat doesn’t, Kenneth Fomby knows exactly how to help his horses recover, recharge, and stay cool overnight. Here’s how one Texas horseman beats the August heat — featuring his must-have post-workout secret weapon: Draw It Out® Liniment.

1. Night Sweats Are Real — Even for Horses

Texas August doesn’t believe in "cooling off." Even after sunset, barn temps can hang in the 80s and 90s. That heat can mess with recovery, hydration, and sleep — for horses *and* riders.

2. Kenneth’s Cooling Routine Starts After the Ride

After evening workouts or pasture turnout, Kenneth goes straight into cool-down mode:

It’s veterinarian-approved, chemical-free, and pain-free — and unlike other liniments, it doesn’t sting or heat up the skin. It’s just relief. Period.

3. Why Kenneth Recommends Draw It Out®

This is the real-deal ranch endorsement: Kenneth keeps the big 128oz bottle in the tack room *and* trailer.

“I don’t use anything on my horses I wouldn’t use on myself. And I use Draw It Out®.” — Kenneth Fomby

It helps reduce inflammation, flush out heat, and support overnight recovery — *exactly what horses need in 100°+ temps.*

4. Stall Setup Hacks That Help

  • Keep stalls well-ventilated (open those top doors!)
  • Use KD120 Deluxe Water Buckets — large, chemical-free, no weird plastic taste
  • Hang a KD134 Bucket Hanger for fly-free, no-tip access

5. Hydration Is Everything

Salt, electrolytes, fresh water at all times. Kenneth drops a splash of apple cider vinegar or soaked hay cubes if a horse isn’t drinking enough. Whatever works to keep those fluids flowing — *you do it.*

“You don’t wait for dehydration. You stay ahead of it.” — Kenneth Fomby
