OK so I have an exracehorse, he is the sweetest kindest horse you coud wish to meet, but is a bit of a stress head.
We have been to loads of shows RC and BSJA, done masses of schooling, farm rides etc.
But every now and then he has a big (massive) paddy (whips round a la thoroughbred) in the jumping ring, usually in between jumps not at them. So We have tried supplements with no measurable success.
As a long shot my friend has persuaded me to let her try Reiki and EFT (emotional freedom therapy) on him, now I am a bit sceptical but am willing to try anything that helps.
So has anyone else used anything as 'extreme' as this? Ideas Please???

Cat my previous horse could be a spooky monster at shows & he was helped quite a lot by Nupafeed. You might have tried it already? It's expensive but it really helped him.
 
No experience here but would be interested to hear any results you may have from your "extreme" therapy. I have a TB that does the same while doing XC
