"I feel this product helps to keep any heat and or swelling from my horse's legs, before and after competition & hauling. Also, if there is an area of noticeable fill, after applying the poultice, it seems to quickly dissipate."
- Jennifer Barrett, Champion Barrel Racer
"The Sore No-More Performance Ultra Poultice is a staple in our barn to help combat soreness and inflammation that may occur during training and recovery. We love that we have peace of mind with all of these products when competing because they meet all regulatory requirements."
- Tim McQuay, NRHA Professional
"I chose this product as I truly believe it is above and beyond any other poultice on the market. I have tested many poultices and I have stuck with the Sore No-More poultice. The best part, its natural. My horses have benefited from the poultice and have never had a reaction to the product unlike when I have used other methods."
- Emily Thompson, 3-Day Eventer
"One day I noticed that my 15 year old gelding had a lump on the inside of his front cannon bone. I suspected a popped splint and immediately wrapped him in the Sore No-More Performance Ultra poultice while I scheduled a vet to radiograph the area. After further examination by my vet, he recommended two weeks of poultice wrapping. I believe this treatment helped with the prevention of lump becoming larger and helped with the comfort of my horse. I'm happy to say he has been moving soundly throughout this entire experience. Thanks, Sore-No More!"
- Deanna Corby, Professional Dressage Rider
"We use the poultice pretty regularly on our training horses, and I think the Performance Ultra goes above and beyond. Most trainers know the challenges of keeping the inflammation down in our training horses, and I think this is one product that is key in a performance horse barn to help keep our horses sound."
- Holly Tracy, NRHA Professional
"I've used the Sore No-More line of products for more than 15 years. From the beginning I was drawn to using an herbal based topical product instead of harsh chemicals. I had used several other topical liniments and poultices throughout the years but had several instances of the products irritating or causing reactions on horses with sensitive skin. My horses use the Sore No-More Performance liniment and poultice every time they compete. I trust it to reduce inflammation and keep their legs comfortable after jumping and galloping."
- Emily Beshear, Professional 3-Day Eventer
"We tried Sore No-More Poultice, and it is the best we have ever used! The legs were cold and tight as could be after just one application!"
- Steffen Peters, Olympic Medalist
"I have been using the Sore No More poultice both at home and daily at the shows. The poultice keeps their legs tight, cool, and feeling great after showing and stressful work outs. It is a valuable part of maintaining our show horse athletes."
- Tracer Gilson, NRHA Champion
"I highly recommend using Arenus Sore No-More poultice for treating any changes you may notice in your horse's legs. If I see any swelling from minor injuries, stocking up, wind puffs, popped splints, etc, this poultice is always my go-to. My vet originally recommended this treatment and over the years I've had so much success with this poultice in both active and preventative treatments. "
- Deanna Corby, Professional Dressage Rider & Trainer
"I was looking for a poultice that provided relief from inflammation as well as support for the tendons and ligaments of the leg in conjunction with cold water therapies. Sore No-More Poultice provided all of these benefits which has helped to keep my horses prepared for the demand of high-level competition."
- Shawn Flarida, NRHA Champion & Olympic Medalist
"My groom Shannon Kingsley, applies the Sore No-More Gelotion to my horses' backs and legs before and after a ride and the Sore No-More Poultice is also used religiously after every gallop. Since we have been applying the products on a consistent basis, I have noticed a marked improvement in the tightness of the horses' legs and the suppleness through their backs-all critical improvements in their overall performance."
- Boyd Martin, Champion 3-Day Eventer
"At the Global Endurance Training Center, the legs of our horses are of utmost importance. Over the years we have used many poultices for leg cooling after intense exercises and endurance races, mostly with less than satisfactory results. After studying the ingredients of Sore No-More Poultice, we decided to give it a try. After the 2009 Tevis ride, we applied the poultice on two of our horses that finished Tevis and used a different product on the other two horses. The difference the next day was impressive. No swelling and no stocking up on the legs where we used Sore No-More Poultice. In fact, we were so impressed with the results, that we decided to carry Sore No-More Poultice and liniments on our website for our clients. Thank You, Arenus, for bringing such a great product to the equestrian community."
- Christoph Schork
"I recommend the Sore no More poultice over other poultices out there as it goes above and beyond any other poultice. The natural ingredients help keep my horse's legs tight and even with my sensitive skinned horse, he has never reacted to this poultice."
- Emily Thompson, 3-Day Eventer
"I've actually noticed that while using the Sore No-More Poultice, I have not had to use as much cold-water therapy as I have in the past. The poultice significantly reduces inflammation which really helps to keep those tendons and ligaments tight."
- Shawn Flarida, NRHA Champion & Olympic Medalist
"I use Sore No More poultice after ever run and my horse has been many miles and made many runs and he has very clean and healthy legs."
- Jennifer Barrett, Champion Barrel Racer
"The Sore No-More Poultice is the best poultice I have ever used. I have been around horses all my life and tried many products. It is easy to put on, you only need a thin layer and it's easy to take off."
- Steve Gower
"I am a fan of the Sore No-More Poultice. I find this product is very beneficial for heat and inflammation reduction. It is optimal for usage at horse shows where the combination of extra work and non-optimal footing are often present."
- David Wilson
"Oh the Sore No-More Poultice, my word. You know it was an amazing thing, just yesterday, we went and pulled the poultice off the mare that I have here. It wasn’t dry! You know a poultice, once a poultice dries, it is done working. There are quite a few other poultices on the market but they, to me, they do not work. I like to take a poultice off, have some dampness still in it because it means the poultice is still working."
- Doug Hannum, USET Therapist
"The Sore No-More Poultice is used on all of my training horses as needed and I find that they are more rested and ready to work during demanding training periods."
- Shawn Flarida, NRHA Champion & Olympic Medalist
“This is the best poultice I’ve ever used. It reduces inflammation and soreness on the legs. With natural ingredients, it doesn’t harm the skin.”
- Todd Sommers, AQHA Champion
"Using Sore No-More Poultice and Gelotion have been a great asset to the health of my horses. Taking that little extra time when hauling, stalling and competing has made a huge impact on the soundness of my horse. Perfect routine vet appointments are always the best news for any owner."
- Jennifer Barrett, Champion Barrel Racer
"My horse was out for training and returned to me with an injury to his front leg. I did not know the extent of the injury at first. However when he arrived the bow was huge and carried a lot of heat. I tried the Sore No-More Poultice and found I liked it much better than Uptite. It was much easier to work with. I felt a tremendous draw of heat through the Sore No-More Poultice. I don't know whether what I was feeling was true heat or energy, but it was profound. The leg cooled out quickly and the inflammation came right out."
- Anne Strawbridge
"I would highly recommend this product for anyone with horses, from FEI horses to lesson ponies. It is extremely effective at keeping swelling and heat under control and is an easy everyday use. The natural ingredients make it possible to use after any workout under wraps or on its own. It is visibly effective and kept my mind at ease."
- Emily Thompson, 3-Day Eventer
“The Sore No-More Poultice is the best poultice I have used. We are able to do things with it that you cannot do with other poultices, like use it over cuts and scrapes. It cools out and takes out inflammation like no other.”
- Barclay Tagg
“The Sore No-More Poultice is certainly a higher step up from what is on the market. We have been users of Sore No-More since it came out and think it the poultice is very effective and multi-purpose. It cools and tightens legs great and also s a wonderful hoof packing!”
- Christiane Schuman
"Two Id Dash (Twiggy) has a horse trailer anxiety issue where she either turns around and runs off the trailer forward or she backs off at mock speed. We have tried as many calming procedures as possible, but she has done this since she was a baby. I use the Poultice because I worry that her backing off at that rapid speed on to possible concrete could cause pain and damage."
- Reed Dale, Champion Barrel Racer
"Sore No-More Poultice is an important part of my training program. I have noticed a significant reduction in post training inflammation and really like the way it helps keep my horses tendons and ligaments tight."
- Shawn Flarida, NRHA Champion & Olympic Medalist
“As a competitor in Three-Day Eventing, I have tried a variety of poultices to reduce inflammation in my horses legs. When Sore No-More came out with their arnica liniment based poultice it redefined the work poultice. The Sore No-More base that replaced the standard water base helped keep my horses legs tighter and reduced inflammation. The best part of the poultice is that it is safe to use over cuts, boots rubs or abrasions. Horses with sensitive skin will thank you when you use Sore No-More's Poultice on them.”
- Imtiaz Anees
“We have found that the Sore No-More Poultice has amazing results on horses with hoof abscesses. When we suspect an abscess, we clean the hoof, completely cover the bottom of the hoof with the poultice, then cover with a piece of the Spitfire Paper and slip on an Easy Boot. The horse seemed to feel almost instant relief and within 2 days the abscess surfaced and drained. Using the Sore No-More Poultice is cleaner and easier to use than Icthamol and smalls much better.”
- Jann O'Leary Costa
“I like how soft the Sore No-More Poultice is. It is easy to put on and build layers with it. Fabio has 4 white socks and you can imagine how sensitive they are. I saw no skin irritations after using the product. It also has a nice smell. The poultice never made his legs scurf after using. It's nice to know that I'm using a product that is all natural and I don't have to worry about ingredients. It's safe to use on my FEI & CDI Dressage horses. I also like that is can be removed without water so I don't have to worry about fungus.”
- Jennifer Mandracia
“The Sore No-More Poultice has worked wonders for my mare. She is sensitive to different footings, and some of the indoor shows around here use calcium chloride to control their dust. Her legs look okay until you wash them, and then you can see little red dots everywhere against her pink skin. The poultice seems to clear that up. I have put it on my jumper that swells up with Uptite, and his legs look great. I will definitely be getting a bigger tub before the show season, and I threw the last of the Uptite in the trash.”
- Kate Gerhart
“Sore No-More's Poultice is so much lighter than normal poultices – it feels creamier. It goes on so smoothly and easily, and washes off so effortlessly. I found that I used far less of it, and I love the light, fresh scent. My horse had had filling in his one front leg for about 10 days, and I was poulticing and wrapping. After two days of using the Sore No-More poultice without wrapping, his leg was completely down and stayed down. Thank you for such a wonderful product!”
- Kim Walnes
“When Bellinger, my Grand Prix horse, came out of his stall one morning so tender in one front left he couldn't make a 90 degree turn, I immediately iced the leg and wrapped it up with Sore No-More Poultice. My vet confirmed a check ligament injury. After 10 days of this treatment, my vet ultrasounded the leg to find no tears, no strain, and no inflammation – not even two weeks after the initial injury. He's back under the saddle like nothing had ever happened. I've never, ever had such a dramatic turnaround from a simple poultice. My vet is equally impressed!”
- Lauren Sprieser
"This poultice is awesome! So easy to apply and work with! I use the poultice for packing feet and tightening up legs."
- Lisa Lewis-Greene
"I recently started using the poultice on my semi-retired 25 year old thoroughbred gelding. He had a bad trim done by a farrier the first week of June, and between his sensitive soles on the gravel and a major angle change to the hoof he was dead lame. His deep digital tendons were pulsing and hot. I was worried not only about founder but the possibility of a bowed tendon. The poultice made a tremendous difference and kept his legs cool and tight. I recommend Sore No-More products to all my clients and use it in my protocols."
- Megan Kelly
“We love the new Sore No-More Poultice. Great for taking off shows for the first time. We have a show mare we want to breed, and needed to take her shoes off. This product helped the transformation from shoes for years, to no shoes, so much easier. We packed it in the hoof and did not cover it. It stayed where we put it until we took it out the next morning. We use it after a hard day's workout on horses hat would usually stock up. Abscesses; it worked overnight. So much easier than soaking, especially with a horse who doesn't want to put his foot in the soaking bucket. It is priceless.”
- Rita Gambina
"Blazin Six Moons, lovingly known as Chanel, required a decent amount of chiropractic work, especially through her shoulder region. I began using the Sore No-More spray underneath and the night before a show I wrap her legs with Performance Ultra Poultice, and prep-performance I rub her down with Sore No-More Gelotion. Since beginning this regimen, Chanel has not required the maintenance that she once did and is feeling better than she did before. Her legs stay really tight between the poultice and liniment and she has free range of movement in her neck and shoulders where she was limited before.
- Reed Dale, Champion Barrel Racer
"Sore No-More is a lifesaver for our reining horse Plenty of Guns. As an older reiner, we use the poultice when he is confined to the stalls at show venues. We’ve also used it on horses who come to the clinics and might need a little extra help settling in after long hauls. We’ve never been disappointed, it takes the heat and swelling down in a short time."
- Warwick Schiller, NRHA Professional
