DryON: the clever solution to dry the horse's sweat after work

Managing the sweaty horse after work is one of the most delicate moments of the daily stable routine.
You’ve just finished the session, the coat is soaked, the horse is hot, maybe it’s not 30 degrees outside… and the usual dilemma starts:

“The rinse? Leave it like that? Put a blanket on and hope it dries?”

If this scene is familiar to you, DryON was created exactly to solve this problem.

In this article we look at:

  • what is the real problem with sweat on the horse

  • the discomforts for horse and owner

  • why “classic” solutions aren’t enough

  • how DryON works, ON-H’s quick-drying spray

  • how to use it in the post-work routine, simply and practically

The problem: the sweaty horse that doesn’t dry off

Sweat is a natural response to exercise: the horse sweats to lower body temperature. The point is what happens after.

If the sweat:

  • remains on the coat for a long time

  • it dries slowly in a cold or humid environment

  • it is only covered by a blanket without really managing it

various practical and welfare problems can arise.

What happens when sweat remains on the coat

  • crusts and unsightly white stains form

  • the hair becomes dull, hard, dirty to the touch

  • the horse may feel discomfort and itching

  • a layer of dirt + dry sweat forms that is difficult to remove

  • daily coat management becomes longer and more complicated

In winter or mid-seasons the problem worsens: the horse stays wet for a long time, with the risk of:

  • cooling down too quickly

  • remaining damp under the blanket

  • skin irritations in areas where sweat + dirt accumulate


The real discomforts: for the horse and for those who manage it

For the horse

  • Feeling of dampness and dirt on the coat

  • Hair that pulls, hardens, does not shine easily

  • Higher risk of skin discomfort in critical areas (chest, under saddle, behind elbows, kidney area)

For the owner / rider

  • Waste of time in post-work: towels, scrapers, shower yes/no, blanket yes/no

  • More frequent full washes to clean caked-on dirt

  • Difficulty managing the horse when you have multiple horses in the stable

  • Additional stress on cold or damp days: you don’t want to leave the horse wet, but you can’t shower it either

In practice, the phase after training risks becoming the most uncomfortable of the day.

Why traditional solutions are not enough

The “classic” solutions all have a limit:

  1. Full shower

    • not always possible (cold, lack of hot water, long times)

    • risks cooling the horse too much if you don’t dry and cover perfectly

  2. Only scraper + cloth

    • removes the excess, but the coat remains damp for a long time

    • often insufficient on very sweaty horses

  3. Drying blanket and nothing else

    • helps, but if the horse is already very wet underneath it takes a long time

    • does not remove the sweat layer, it partially absorbs it

  4. Generic scented / shining sprays

    • they improve the smell or shine

    • they don’t really speed up sweat evaporation

What was missing was a specific spray for:

manage sweat after work, reducing drying times, without stress for horse and rider.

The solution: DryON, the quick-drying spray for horses

DryON is the spray developed by ON-H to accelerate the evaporation of sweat and moisture from the horse’s coat, in the crucial phase immediately after work.

What it actually does

  • Promotes a rapid evaporation of sweat and water on the coat

  • Leaves the coat dry, clean, and soft in a few minutes

  • It helps to reduce crusts and dry sweat residues

  • It does not grease, stick, or leave a heavy layer on the coat

  • It does not create a “cold shock” effect: it works on evaporation, not menthol

In short: it allows you to manage the sweaty horse in a faster, cleaner, and more controlled way, without disrupting your routine.

How DryON works (no magic, just smart chemistry)

The heart of DryON is a combination of:

  • cosmetic grade ethyl alcohol → evaporates quickly and helps carry away moisture

  • water and hydrosols → support the aqueous part of the mixture

  • aloe vera and glycerin → protect skin and coat, preventing dryness

  • selected essential oils → provide a natural and delicate fragrance

Alcohol has a lower evaporation point than water: when you spray DryON on the coat, it evaporates quickly, promoting the dispersion of residual moisture.

In this way:

  • the coat goes from wet to dry in less time

  • the horse does not stay damp for long

  • post-work management becomes much faster

When to use DryON in your routine

DryON is designed to be used every time the horse finishes work sweaty, especially when:

  • you can’t do a full shower

  • it’s cold or windy

  • you need to manage multiple horses in a short time

  • the horse must get back on the trailer or return to the paddock and you want it dry

Some typical cases:

  • After work in the riding arena, horse sweaty on neck, chest, and under the saddle

  • After riding or lunging, especially in horses with thick coats

  • In winter, when showering is inconvenient or not recommended

  • At competitions, between rounds

How to use DryON (step by step)

Usage is simple and quick:

  1. Shake the bottle well.

  2. With the horse securely tied, spray DryON directly on the sweaty areas (neck, chest, shoulders, under the saddle, loins, flanks…).

  3. Wipe with a cloth or a soft sponge to evenly distribute the product.

  4. Let dry naturally for a few minutes.

  5. If necessary, lightly brush to finish the coat.

No rinsing required.
DryON is designed to fit into the daily routine, without complicating it.
