Home-made de-stressing recipes

Bach Tincture Walnut is good to give before you go. (from Boots).

If the horse in stabled add a few drops to the water the night before.....its stabilises 'change'.

My mare who doesn't not travel well seems to do well with an Oxyshot 5 mins before we load her- and she arrives cool, calm and collected!
 
I make camomile tea to pour over the feed of my stressy one. I also use flower remedies (rescue remedy usually). I also use magnesium oxide which is much cheaper than branded calmers.

I keep a bottle of Lavender & Chamomile in my grooming kit, massage a little into the horses neck/chest area (where they cant lick it off) before putting them in the box. Sometimes a little more when I get to the show, works wonders!
Used it on loads of different horses, always helps
