When a hardworking horse comes in tight, sore, or stocked up, you want relief you can reach for every single day without a second thought. SORE NO-MORE® from Arenus Animal Health is exactly that: an all-natural, herbal liniment family built to cool overworked muscles, draw out heat and inflammation, and help equine athletes bounce back ride after ride. There is no capsaicin, no menthol, no parabens, no sulfates, and no synthetic additives, which means it is gentle enough to use on bare hands and your horse's skin while still delivering serious, research-backed relief.

What makes SORE NO-MORE® different from a typical liniment?

SORE NO-MORE® works with the body instead of simply masking discomfort. A proprietary base of witch hazel bark and leaves is paired with time-honored herbs such as Arnica montana, rosemary, ginger, and comfrey to draw out heat, fluid, and toxins while promoting circulation to the areas that need it most. The result is real cooling and reduced inflammation across muscles, ligaments, tendons, and soft tissue, not a warming or burning sensation that fades. Arenus reports that SORE NO-MORE® is trusted by more equine veterinarians around the world than any other horse liniment, and it is embraced by equine therapists and rehabilitation specialists who use it alongside ceramics, magnetics, and other therapeutic modalities.

Which form fits your barn — liniment, gelotion, or poultice?

Every SORE N O-MORE® formula comes in three application styles so you can match the tool to the task. The Liniment is a spray-on liquid for fast full-body coverage and can even be added to a bucket of water for a soothing post-workout bath. The Gelotion is thickened with natural xanthan gum for targeted work; massage it into a tight spot and it foams up over overheated zones, helping you pinpoint exactly where a muscle group is overworked. The Poultice uses a bentonite clay base, the same kind found in facial masks, and is easy to apply and wash off, making it a barn favorite for packing lower limbs under wraps to pull heat and swelling out of legs.

Need a formula that keeps you competition-legal?

Arenus offers three strengths so the right relief is always within reach. The Classic formula is everyday support for horses in light to moderate work, while the Performance formula swaps in comfrey to stay FEI-compliant for the show ring. At the top sits Performance Ultra, the most powerful herbal option in the line, created through a specialized herbal extrusion process to reach clinical strength while remaining both FEI and USEF compliant. Performance Ultra is built for upper-level competitors and horses managing active or old injuries. Apply it directly to the back, legs, poll, or hocks before and after exercise, paint it onto hoof soles, and layer it safely under tack, wraps, blankets, and therapeutic equipment, available in 6 oz, 12 oz, 32 oz, and 64 oz sizes.

The Solution Section (FAQ)
What does SORE NO-MORE® actually do for a sore horse?

It draws out heat, fluid, and toxins while promoting circulation, cooling the affected area and reducing inflammation and pain in muscles, ligaments, tendons, and soft tissue. It is used for everyday soreness, post-work recovery, and chronic conditions such as arthritis.

Is SORE NO-MORE® all natural?

Yes. It is an all-natural, herbal formula built on witch hazel with arnica, rosemary, ginger, and comfrey. It contains no capsaicin, no menthol, no parabens, no sulfates, and no synthetic additives.

Can I use it on a competition horse?

Choose the right strength. The Classic formula is not FEI-compliant because it contains a zero-tolerance ingredient, but the Performance and Performance Ultra formulas substitute comfrey to remain FEI compliant, and Performance Ultra is both FEI and USEF compliant.

How do I apply it?

Apply directly to the skin and massage in before or after exercise on the back, legs, poll, or hocks, and you can paint it onto hoof soles. It is safe to use under tack, wraps, blankets, and therapeutic equipment, and no gloves are required.

What is the difference between the liniment, gelotion, and poultice?

The liniment is a spray-on liquid for quick full-body coverage and bath water. The gelotion is thickened with xanthan gum for targeted areas and foams over overheated zones to reveal problem spots. The poultice has a bentonite clay base and is ideal for packing lower limbs under wraps to reduce heat and swelling.

Can I use SORE NO-MORE® every day?

Yes. It can be used daily without adverse effects and is safe under wraps, pads, and blankets. It is also compatible with therapeutic modalities such as ceramics and magnetics, and it is gentle on both your hands and your horse's skin.

What sizes are available?

The Performance Ultra Gelotion is offered in 6 oz, 12 oz, 32 oz, and 64 oz, so you can keep a small bottle in the trailer and a larger size in the barn for regular use.

Who makes SORE NO-MORE®?

SORE NO-MORE® is made by Arenus Animal Health, a developer of natural solutions for horses and dogs covering needs from sore muscles and arthritis to colic, stress, and reproductive support.
