🐴 Genie vs. Simple Spray: Which One Does Your Horse Need?

At Rodeo Road Essentials, one of the most common questions we get is:

“What’s the difference between Genie in a Bottle and Simple Spray?”

Both are powerful herbal sprays designed to support performance horse recovery—but they’re not the same. Let’s break down the differences and how to use them together for the best results.


🧴 GENIE IN A BOTTLE

This is your go-to for deep relief.
Genie in a Bottle is our stronger liniment, made with a potent blend of essential oils and DMSO to deliver ingredients deep into muscle and joint tissue.

🌿 What’s Inside:

  • Turmeric

  • Copaiba

  • Frankincense

  • Lavender, Wintergreen, and more

  • DMSO (for enhanced delivery)

✅ Best Used For:

  • Post-run soreness

  • Deep muscle fatigue

  • Chronic or localized inflammation

  • Areas that are "hot," stiff, or need maintenance


💧 SIMPLE SPRAY

Lightweight. Versatile. Gentle.
Simple Spray is ideal for everyday use, whether before or after rides. It also contains DMSO, but in a milder, more flexible formula that can be used under wraps, sport boots, or pads.

🌿 What’s Inside:

  • Peppermint

  • Lavender

  • Copaiba

  • Our handcrafted herb-infused vinegar base

  • DMSO (gentle, tissue-supporting)

✅ Best Used For:

  • Muscle tightness

  • Pre-ride warmups

  • General recovery and maintenance

  • Use under wraps and pads without worry


🐴 How to Use Them Together

Want a powerful, layered recovery routine? Try this:

  • Spray Genie in a Bottle on specific trouble areas—like a sore stifle, SI, or any lingering inflammation

  • Use Simple Spray over the rest of the legs, shoulders, or back for overall support and cooling

  • Use after intense training or hauling for maximum benefit

This combo allows you to target where your horse needs help the most, while giving full-body support for recovery, comfort, and performance.


🔬 A Quick Note About DMSO

Both sprays use DMSO (Dimethyl Sulfoxide), a well-known carrier that helps herbal ingredients absorb into the tissue. It’s highly effective for equine recovery—but should always be used on clean, healthy skin to avoid carrying in any unwanted contaminants.
