calming cookies - anyone tried them

Ok so I tried them, and they made a difference at home - he was listening more - but didn’t really do a heck of a lot out at a sponsored ride. I’ve got the calming powder to try
 
The only time I tried them, my horse did a 180 at the sight of a pile of stones, bronced down the bridle path, and tanked when we turned towards home. She's normally the safest horse going, so I haven't risked trying again!
 
I've used them and they did take the edge off. However, I think the makers have changed the recipe. They smell different and my mare spits them out and refuses to eat them
 
We received a warning from our vet on the ingredient L-Tyrosine. We were told one on 10 horses will re-act in the opposite manner, making them sharper and spookier.

Didnt think much of it as it had always worked well for us when it was needed for horses being reschooled or heading off to a show for the first time.

Then we had a horse in for re-schooling who was a bit of a mess through being very confused and anxious. This was the horse sadly that reacted. Very very spooky suddenly.
 
I recently received my delivery of calming cookies after seeing all the amazing reviews on fb. We gave one to the 2 ponies yesterday and it drove them crazy. One decided to take off for about 20 laps of the school. Complete opposite effect to what I had expected. So disappointed.
