Hi
I have a mare that is very highly strung. I am trying to event her but she just gets so over excited, tense and ignorant in the dressage. she has been a bit of a madam at home causing all sorts of problems with the geldings, i cant catch her, pull her mane, clip her (it took 4 lots of sedation) or get a vet near her but she will have her teeth done by electric tools and be shoed! She is now on regumate and is much much better but she is the leader of the pack (boss!!). she is on top spec balancer as she has been prone to tying up, we now have that under control (bad breeding... not feed related). Her back is check every 3 months, wormed, teeth, new saddles, snaffle bit... I seem to have tried everything. she is worked 5 days a week and goes on the walker 7 days a week for 30/45mins
Calmers I have tried are:
Magic paste & powder
Think Calm paste & Powder
B-Kalm paste
Oxyshot
Zylkene
Equine America pastes & powders
Steady up
Top Spec Calmer powder
Horse First Relax Me powder
Nothing works, if anything just makes her worse.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated
Thanks
