Best calmers... (also in NL)

[Vicki_Krystal]

For a horse that seems to have a lot of nervous energy but manifests it in very sharp behaviour?

Good as gold to handle but stress head with tack on be it ridden or lunging.
He seems to have the attention span of a goldfish and when you knuckle down on him to concentrate he throws a wobbler!

Saddle, back, teeth all done - he has always been sharp tbh and whilst i dont believe in calmers im willing to try anything now before i kill him!

Ive been told to try Magnitude - just wondered what else was out there?

Thanks

I had a bit of success with Equistro Equiliser.

Carl Hester Pro-Mag Calm liquid has made a massive difference to our kind but very fizzy Welsh/Arab mare. She dislikes powder supplements but will tolerate this in Speedibeet. Nupafeed is also very good, and they're really helpful on the phone.

I had one that appeared very easy going but was acutally a bit of a worrier who could become a bit sharp. He was greatly helped by Nupafeed. Expensive initial outlay but on a daily dosage rate no more than any of the NAF ones etc.

Tried nupafeed with 2 of ours and didn't think it helped, one is currently on relax me and that seems to take the edge off him.

I found Equine America worked best on my boy who is calm as you like on the ground but when you ride him he can be a big spooky and insecure boy and this manifests itself in what seems like bad behaviour but is in fact just him being worried and nervous. Got him off it now as I moved to Mollichop Calmer but for events I'm trying Relax Me because he still gets worried when there is a lot of atmosphere at an event.

Nupafeed is amazing xx

So the Nupra feed is in liquid form?

Martlin - is the equestro one the one in the silver tub with pink lid?

 

[nessie1288]

We have one on Relax Me which definitely helps. The other one is on oxyshot which seems to stop her from napping!

 

[Vicki_Krystal]

Ive tried the oxyshot at a show and it did begger all!

That was the point where i decided my horse was immune!
But i need to try something before i kill him! lol

I found the equine america one the best. Worked wonders withg my very on the edge ex racer

Another vote for nupafeed. It worked on Catembi who was a spooky spinner & a nightmare at shows. I tried taking him off it once... & OMG was on the phone ordering some more PDQ!!!!

nupa feed, you can get it in liquid form to be fed regularly in feeds...or you can get it in syringues that you give a horse only on one offs, like before a competition...its fed like a wormer

amazng on my nervous TB xx
