Anyone used Oestress?

[BeckyMason97]

And does it work? Thinking of trying it on my very very moody mare. Just don't want to be paying so much money if it's useless!

A horse at work is on it, and shes a nutter. Possibly she would be worse without it but hard to say!

The main ingredients are magox and agnus castus - I feed these and find they make a noticable difference.

Yes I feed it to my mare all year round and I do think it makes a difference.

Definitely makes a difference with my moody mare.

It doesn't work on my mare, and she won't touch her feed with it in either! She is a cob so normally greedy! I find Stroppy Mare brilliant! It is about half the price of oestress to!

Oestress didnt seem to make a huge difference on mine. I fed mint to encourage her to eat it.

Regumate is very good, but expensive and from vet.

Yes it works. Fed to a very moody mare and did notice an improvement.

seemed to work on my mare last summer.

My mare has it from march - october and then for the rest of the year is on Stroppy mare and for her it makes a difference..... shes awful without it

our very moody mare was an angel on bromide and got in foal at first attempt so all good for us

My mare is practically unrideable without it!!

She does turn her nose up at it, but if you introduce it slowly and mix it with something nice, it generally works.

I used apple juice, and now oil and she doesnt notice it after a few weeks.

I have used oestress for a few years now, took her off it a couple of years ago just to see if it was all in my head and she was back on it within a week. There is somebody on here who is brilliant on all the supplements who told me to feed magnesium (which i already use) and something else which I can't remember, hopefully she will come on and comment on this as i was just thinking about it today. the things were what oestress is made up with minus the fillers.

I feed both my mares Oestress throughout winter (when they live in, they're both on it as they're mother and daughter....seems to have passed on the grumpy gene!). I definately see a noticeable difference when they're on it! One mare absolutely loves the stuff, she seemingly likes the smell a lot too.

Thanks guys. I think I'll try her on it for a few weeks and see what happens, I can't imagine her ever turning her nose up at anything!

i fed my mare it last summer, seemed to calm her down a little! she is very good, apart from when she is in season when she is a monster to ride!! it definately helped, i was just debating when to restart it!!
