My horse is quite strong and spooky but also very lazy. It's an awful combination because if he's given higher energy feed to combat his laziness he's likely to spook more, but cutting down on feed to prevent stressy fizz will give him less oomph when schooling. I've been doing some de-spooking with him in the school, and he's not getting his knickers in a twist quite as much as he was whilst hacking alone, but does still survey the horizon like a wide eyed giraffe for the first half hour of a hack until he's had a few spooks and canters, and it's quite tedious always being on guard he's about to dart sideways to escape a horse eating bird in a bush. I'm wondering if I should start adding something magnesium based to his feed every day. Does anyone use a calmer daily and have you seen a significant difference in your horse since feeding it? If so, which calmers are best?
