Hi all,

Not been on here recently, but I'm back :) Miss R is doing well, lots of SJ and thinking of moving up to newcomers soon - gulp!!!

My question regards mare supplements. Miss R always seems to get grumpier and spookier when she comes into season. Not bad to ride but definitely spookier with less concentration.

I have tried oestress but I'm not totally convinced. I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions? Has anyone tried Mood no more by equine america or slut mix?

I know I could go down the regumate route but as she doesn't seem physically uncomfortable I'm a bit reluctant.

Chocolate seashells on offer :) :)
 
I have found cheap and cheerful Stroppy Mare and Magnitude have worked absolute wonders on my grumpy mare. Stopped her random biting, concentration good and very willing.
 
We had a very similar mare not grumpy but did lack focus, friend said try slut mix and we never looked back.. fab stuff, just grateful it was only online so I didn't have to go in and ask for it!

Tried other well known brands but this was the only one that made a difference... now chocolate please :D
 
Another vote for agnus cactus, I get mine from Pegasus health. Works wonders on my mare and my gelding has it aswell as it stops him being an arrogant know-it-all!!!!
 
The main ingredient in all mare supplements is the Agnus Castus, far cheaper and purer just to feed it straight altering the dose to the behaviour you want....
 
I have my girl on Hormonise fab stuff as for her it makes the difference between 20 min battle warm up to straight on with the job in hand :)

sorry to thread-jack but what is agnus castus?

It's the latin name for Chaste Berry which is the ingredient in most mare supplements. Much cheaper to feed just the pure ingredient and also, some of the mare supplements contain Valerian (sp?) which is not BE legal.
 
Ive had my mare on angus cactus last year and this year, seemed to work last year (to a certain exent) but doesnt seem to be doing much this year. How much does everyone feed? I buy the pure form from the internet and they all say different so maybe im not feeding enough?
