Confidence EQ gel?

[Cinnamontoast]

An acquaintance mentioned this to me whilst holding the dancing pony's head (I was trying to oil his feathers, we have the dance every time) I'd quite like to clip his legs so I can treat mudfever, but this normally requires sedation but according to the acquaintance, this gel stuff should allow me to clip safely without the horse stressing out.

Anyone used it?

I've got a couple of samples at the yard and I really must get around to trying it. I just sweat talked the rep and she gave me some FOC.

Have just bought two sachets and will try one for the first time Friday when the farrier comes ( he gets nervous with the farrier).

Will you please report back? And tell me prices you're paying!

Made no difference at all to our Welsh C mare when trying to clip her I'm afraid

I think it's around a couple pounds. I'm going to try mine the next time he goes out competing. I will try again to stay on the lovely supple, responsive horse I have in the warm up. I swear the horse I ride the test isn't mine, I have no breaks, steering or manners!!

A box costs 40 euros for 10 sachets.
After trying a free sample, I was amazed by the difference to a tricky young mare with loading issues.
You must apply the gel when the horse is completely calm, half an hour before you need it to work.
There was a marked change in behaviour for the better the twice we used it, and will use again.
One benefit is the ease of application.

Yes I will do, I only bought two in case it was a waste of money. I paid about £11.00 incl. delivery from ****** and received it the next day ( standard postage). Pony does not like being shod so will give it a shot as anything is worth a try.

Whoops sorry just realised it wont let me post the name of the company.

I've used it on my 'speschul' young horse. Its seems to have a good effect on him. Last time at a tiny, low key dressage comp I forgot to use it and we hit an all time low in behaviour (walk/trot test reduced to walk).
Will be remembering to use it this Saturday!

Does it need to go in the nostrils? This will prove tricky and may stress out my lad: he is quite headshy.

Have a look at the website, which should explain everything
