Out of the Sore No More lineup of products, they are devoted daily users of the Gelotion, which is applied to their backs & legs before & after a ride. The Poultice is used religiously after every gallop, and has become an event day favorite! Boyd has noticed a marked improvement in the tightness of the horses' legs & the suppleness through their backs ... all critical improvements in their overall performance." ... Boyd Martin

One of the toughest things in the sport of eventing is having a quite fit, fiery event horse that can gallop cross-country and then to try and chill it out and settle it for the dressage. The Flower Essences from Arenus, especially the Mellow Out, have really taken the edge off my horses. It's completely legal and it just, it doesn't make them quiet, but it lets them think clear and lets them basically chill out. It's a wonderful product that's definitely helped my horses that are a little bit tense and nervous just take a deep breath and relax for the dressage.
