anxiety, calmer

[northstarboy]

my horse gets quite anxious at home and at comps
we can manage it at home
when out he is fine to show jump and xc
when he does dressage he won't concentrate 100%, prob 75%
also if his travel buddy, which can be any of the other 3 horses we have leave him to compete he goes bananas!!
i have to ride him whilst they compete and he keeps his eye on where they are and when out of sight he whinnies lots and has mini paddys
he is currently on human magnesium tablets as they seem to take the edge of him on a day to day basis better than magnitude

i need to use something 'stronger' that is more effective
any recommendations please!!
ps he is a 17hh warm blood

Try something with tryptophan as the active ingredient ....I use top spec calmer when got a comp or something coming up. Works much better than mag based ones for my boy.
