Calling all people who feed supplements... !!

[JellyBeanSkittle]

If you feed, have ever fed, or know someone who does use one of these products - Please vote and describe your experience below!

I am in the process of choosing one and am looking for:

*Value for money
*Effectiveness
*Results expected

The goal here is to promote concentration and less spookiness, without comprimising ability or performance. I once used something like this and ended up with something that looked doped! Do not want a repeat of that experience.

Thankyou in advance

We use Naf Magic, along with Equine America Magnitude.
Its really helped my very difficult mare.
Magnitude is an excellent product, its £18.99 for 6 months.
Magic is fantastic but not cheap at approx £25 a month.

My Mare is very good now, and does not spook hardly ever, love it, and you can double dose on days of stress. We do when we go to a comp, went to one in side ways rain, and did an excellent test, so im thrilled with it!!

Not using it at present but Relax Me by Horse First is excellent. But it is not cheap, however it does work.

I have tried over the years with various horses:

NAF Magic
EA Magnitude
Relax Me

None of these seemed to work on Crazy Lil

G is currently on Equifeast Cool, Calm and Collected but its too early to comment on whether it is definitely working.

ProKalm is expensive but it is the only really really effective calmer I've found.

The so kalm plus, and naf had no effect and nor did magnesium. He now gets feedmark's steady up, very good! or brewers yeast...thats also good and cheap! my instructor gives her team chaser cool calm and collected and suggested it, if the feedmark wasnt any good.

 

[JellyBeanSkittle]

Keep 'em coming

Thanks to all who have posted so far.

Another vote for magnitude.

CalMag/MagOx and brewer's yeast can have a calming effect.

A recent post said that magnesium calmers only work if the horse is lacking magnesium, hence why majority say they don't work! That figures to me. I use blue chip but mine was never spooky to start with.

I used Magic, which worked, but too expensive to use for long term, I use Feedmark Steady up which has Mg, and herbs and yeast sac, so it covers several things, my boy is barefoot [so this works for feet and temperament], also the area I am in is probably low in Magnesium so I need to feed it long term.

I feed Pro Cell and Apple Cider Vinegar.
