Agnus Castus / Chasteberry users (for mares)

Has anyone's mare been more flirty/squirty when using this?

We've been giving it to our mare for about 2 weeks, as she seemed very uncomfortable during her seasons this year (not wanting to be groomed / tacked up).

She came into season a week ago and her mood is much better, she is her usual sweet self. However she is unbelievably flirty with everything around her - particularly a gelding she's turned out with, but virtually everything on the yard that she passes. We've owned her for nearly a year and we've never seen her this bad. She's even stopping to squirt when ridden past other horses, or in a group.

I'm wondering if I need to adjust the dosage (giving 30ml per day at present)? Everything else seems to be a positive effect since using this but the poor girl doesn't know what to do with herself.

Started mine on it a couple months ago. So far, no difference at all.

She's very flirty and loved up when she's in season, and does her seasons like she wrote the text book (every 3 weeks practically to the day). She becomes much harder to school when she's 'on', not resistant, just dreamy and unfocused and lethargic.

I can't afford Regumate (at £2 per day!!) and my vet said the marble is unreliable and potentially problematic, so agnus castus was the next on my list to try, but so far as I say, I've not seen any difference whatsoever....

If yours was uncomfy and now is less so, maybe she's just more able to appreciate that she's feeling fruity?!
