I've found a calmer for shows that actually, noticeably works.
I used Confidence EQ yesterday when we were doing a main ring quadrille display at a show with a funfair, umbrellas being used as sunshades by spectators, donkeys, cows and sheep all in sight, a very loud PA system and a hunt parading. Three minor bounces during our first trot and THAT'S IT. He went and had a look at a cow (usually very suspicious creatures). He even coped when a carriage kept going past the horsebox - coping is a MASSIVE improvement on previous OMG meltdown meeting carriages moments.
And I had a spare sachet so we used it on a 17.3 hw hunter who was struggling to cope with the atmosphere and his rider reported a massive improvement within 30mins of application and is off to buy some this morning.
Its supposed to be a synthetic replica of the feel-safe pheromone that mares pass to their foals straight after birth. You smear it round their nostrils. Magic stuff!
