Our gentle Anicura HorseGel is designed to soothe and restore dry, irritated, inflamed skin, scabs, cuts and grazes. It is gentle and suitable to use on mud fever, rain scald, seborrhoea (dandruff), hot spots and sweet itch.
The cooling texture of the Gel instantly calms the skin, discouraging your horse from biting, scratching or rubbing the area – giving it time to heal. Meanwhile, the key powerhouse ingredients in the Gel reduce inflammation and help nourish the skin back to health.
Omega-rich formula to hydrate, calm & soothe the skin
Forms a soft layer over the skin to lock in moisture and provide protection
With antibacterial Apple Cider Vinegar and skin-boosting Sea Buckthorn
Easy application for more sensitive areas like the ears and around the mouth
With clean hands, pump some Gel onto your fingers and gently massage it into the affected area, or dab on if the skin is very sore.
We recommend applying the Gel 3-4 times a day at first (although it will not do any harm if you feel you need to apply more frequently than this). When you start to see an improvement, you can reduce the frequency to 1-2 times a day. When the skin has returned to relative normalcy, you can apply every now and again to keep the skin topped up with moisture and nutrients. For best results, use in conjunction with our Horse Spray.
Seals wounds to support scab formation and skin healing.

FAQs
Can I use the Horse Gel on broken skin?
Yes – our Horse Gel was specially designed to be gentle enough for super sensitive, irritated and even chapped, cracked or broken skin. It shouldn’t sting - although it is important to be aware that damaged skin will already be sore, so be gentle. Please note that our Horse Gel is suitable for small sores, cuts and wounds, but please seek medical attention if your horse has a large or open wound, an infection or a large area of affected skin.
Can I use the Gel around the mouth and eyes?
Yes - it is gentle enough to be used on those sensitive areas and it’s perfectly safe if your horse accidentally ingests some Gel. We do however recommend gently but properly massaging in the Gel when using it on these areas, so that the skin is able to absorb as much product as possible.
How long will it take before I see results?
This is really difficult to say, as every skin is different. Some of our customers will see results after one or just a few applications, for some it may take a couple of weeks. The most important thing is applying frequently and consistently. The skin fully renews itself every 28 days, so one would expect a change within this time frame.
What is the difference between the Spray and Gel?
The Spray is great at stopping the itch/scratch cycle quickly and is easy to use on larger areas or longer hair. It has 15 natural oils and extracts that hydrate and feed the skin a plethora of vitamins and minerals. This increases the skin's strength over time and helps prevent flare ups and skin irritations.
The Gel is designed to soothe sore and inflamed skin. It can be used on broken skin to aid wound healing and is perfect to use on sensitive areas, on the face or body. The cooling gel texture calms irritated skin quickly whilst the omega-rich formula helps nourish the area back to health.
They work very well together, as the Spray sinks quickly into the skin, and once absorbed, the Gel sits nicely on top to protect the skin and promote healing.
Clean & prepare: Gently cleanse the affected area before use. Apply & absorb: Spread a thin layer of gel on the skin and massage in lightly. Repeat as needed: Use 2–3 times daily; gentle enough for broken skin and safe if your horse licks the area.

Great product used on my dog for a few years then our horse got ring worm, which left awful bald patches on her face I really think this helped speed up the hair regrowth.

By day 2 I noticed a massive improvement. Now I apply it most days, she has stopped itching. I would highly recommend this gel for your itchy horse.
Tracy W.
This soothing gel is a game changer! With almost instant results to stop an itchy tail, it’s easy to apply pump action and non sticky formula is just what I’ve been looking for. Highly recommended!
Cara L.
Incredible product. Deals with cuts and scabs in no time - my horse gets them all the time and this just sorts her right out, it's great especially before competing.

This is a lovely gel that isn't sticky and is very soothing for my horses mane
Store owner replied:
So great Cheryl Thank you for sharing
My grey Connie has had a small spot/swelling on his side (not in the saddle area but irritating), it’s been there for a couple of years. Weeps a bit and he’s sensitive to it. Applied all sorts to it, equestrian and human! Had a steroid injection from the vet last year as the swelling was worse. It helped a bit but as he’s EMS is not a good option.
I’ve applied your gel with a cotton bud directly to the centre of the spot about 3 times a day and there’s definitely an improvement.
Store owner replied:
This is so great to hear Melanie. Would you have any pictures you could share? please do pop me an email if we can help advise further victoria@anicura.co.uk Regards Vicky
This is 5 weeks apart and on average only applied once a day vet said it was a fungal infection and saw what I was putting on it and she said that was excellent and to carry on I am so pleased with the result
Store owner replied:
These are great pictures Thank you Tracy. I have sent you a follow up email. Regards Vicky
My horse loves the gel she closes her eyes when I rub it on her tummy. She doesn't do this when I have put other creams on her. She has sweet itch.
Please can you make a bigger bottle of gel
Sarah
Store owner replied:
Hi Sarah I'd recommend our Horse Shampoo and Spray as well for sweet itch. A weekly bath will help all over and the apply the Spray before the Gel on those areas you are working on. We are hoping to be able too Regards Vicky
Horse doesn’t try to kill me when I apply it and it’s easy to use
Was bit unsure as new products to me but very impressed with the horse spray and gel. Easy to apply good coverage . Within couple of days could see improvement in areas rubbed sore. The shampoo is also lovely, lathers up lovely .
Store owner replied:
This is amazing to hear Liz. I love the shampoo too . Have you tried our Hoof Clay? Been a game charger for my small pony Regards Vicky
Really liked the gel easy to use and helped with removing my mares scabs.
Store owner replied:
Great to hear Barbara, Have you tried our Horse Shampoo it's full of fabulous ingredients to help the skin. Regards Vicky
Have been using this on my old pony who suffers badly with sweet itch.
We have tried every lotion and potion and this has actually made a difference.
His hair is definitely growing back in.
Just wish this came in a bigger size as small one doesn’t last long.
Store owner replied:
Hi Shirley We are hoping to be able to offer the Gel in larger sizes in the future. Both our Horse Spray and Shampoo come in bogger sizes already. Have you tried the Shampoo it will also help the skin and leaves a fabulous shiny coat. Regards Vicky
Store owner replied:
Hi Jill Sorry to hear this. It's very hard for us to control what happens to the package once it's left our warehouse. How have you found the products? Regards Vicky
The gel was great for calming areas of skin that were inflamed due to insect bites and associated rubbing under a fly mask. Only used it for a few days then had to wash off the sticky residue build up to allow the skin to breathe. Definitely helped!
Store owner replied:
So pleased the Gel helped Sarah. Our Shampoo is fabulous for helping the skin as well. I often wash once a week then Gel/Spray in between Regards Vicky
Our horse has sore skin on his face from wearing a fly mask , this product was brilliant and soothed it in just a few days .after a week no sores and looks brilliant.
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for sharing Diana so pleased anicura has helped. What kind of sore les did your Horse have? Do you have any before and after pictures you could share please? Regards Vicky
Store owner replied:
Love this Michelle. Do you have any before and after pictures you could share? Have you been applying 3 times daily? Regards Vicky
Store owner replied:
So brilliant to hear Patricia. Our Horse Shampoo is fabulous too
Freddy, my little Shetland pony has Cushings and does not shed his coat normally. In the recent heatwave he developed sore scabby patches on his skin where he had shed his winter coat before his summer coat was coming through. This gel cleared up the scabby patches very quickly after just one application. I was very impressed.
Store owner replied:
So pleased Anicura has helped Patricia. Cushings is hard on the skin and fur our Horse Shampoo has fabulous ingredients to help support the skin Regards Vicky
Store owner replied:
Love this! Thank you Helen, Can I ask why your Horse required Anicura
I use this on a pony that has sweet itch and rubs his skin constantly. He rubs around his face and I find other SI remedies cause more irritation but this gel seems to calm the area and helps healing.
Store owner replied:
So pleased the Horse Gel is working. For sweet itch I'd highly recommend our Shampoo and Spray too. Shampoo at least once a week whilst the skin is bad. Apply the Spray first followed by the Gel on those affected areas, this can be repeated 2-3 times daily Regards Vicky
Use it on my geldings scars after sarcoid removal.
Store owner replied:
Hi Sara Can I ask what skin complaint your horse is suffering from? How long has this been an issue? Is it just the Horse Gel you have been applying? How often are you applying? Do you have any pictures of the affected areas? Feel free to pop this all in an email victoria@anicura.co.uk Regards Vicky
Excellent stuff works a treat for sweet itch on tail
I used this gel on areas of skin where my horses had been biting each other. It appeared to soothe the area and help with hair regrowth.
I’ve just ordered some shampoo to try.
