Camomile Tea as a Calmer Experiment - anyone interested?

[Grumpy Herbert]

Following on from my calmer post (see below), it's been suggested that camomile tea makes a good calmer, so we thought it might be interesting to do a "tried and tested" on it to see if it works. Anyone up for it? Might work best if we use the same brand of tea bag at first? Or maybe try a few different ones and see if any work better than others? Any suggestions/thoughts?

I don't think it can do any harm, and mine aren't competing at a level where any substance is a problem so don't mind giving it a go - but not with the preggie one (just in case)

yep, i'll give it a go. have just ordered some blue chip karma as well, so am happy to try one then the other on horse, and report on both!

I wouldn't mind giving it a go,am desperate to give her a calmer but theres so many out there it's a job to know which ones best.My trainer has a great supplement range so i'm going to try her stuff if this Camomile doesn't work. Well i'm def up for it,any others?

from another post - this week a horse pysio recomended camomile tea would you believe!? you just make it up with a tea bag and leave for horse to drink and eat the tea bag. worth a go as it is a cheap option - we could have a tried and tested with it on here if anyones interested

 

[Walder]

just make up as normal and put in bowl with tea bag in stable - and hopefully horse will drink it and also eat tea bag (EeeWWWWW!)

Right, so you don't mix with feed?!

 

[Nickijem]

I would offer but judging how laid back Jerry was today, I think if he was any calmer he might just fall asleep on a hack! So sorry, will have to leave it to you guys although I'd love to know the results.
I used the Feedmark Steady up on my last lad and I think it worked??! Never sure if its psycological?

 

[vickers22]

would do but i have already tried with no difference whatsoever

good luck to the rest of you though

I've been using camomile for about 10 days with Jelly. I use 4 tea bags, brew up as you would for yourself, leave to cool, add herbs from tea bag, and add it to her feed as both mine are out whenever possible so don't have the option of leaving in a bowl for ponio to sip at leisure

 

[HeidiBoo]

I already use it on a daily basis

 

[Grumpy Herbert]

Does it work?!? I assume it does as you are continuing to use it daily?
