Some of our clients use arnica montana on their horses, too, just before a
trim or shoe....I am talking about old, arthritic horses who experience
pain when they are worked on.  My husband tried some at one place as his
back was really bothering him.  He felt some relief and I believe if it was
something he took before the pain started it might have given him more
significant relief.
