Oxyshot????

[~Rolo&Roo~]

Riders are reporting that spookiness to fillers or distractions at the competitions and flighty strong approach to fences are subdued once a shot of OxyShot is administered. ----- Is it true basically, i would like to try it as my horse will always have a refusal at a new venue as he likes to look at fences and just not concentrate on the ride, if not anyone know anything that would work?

I know a few people who've had good results from it, and a few who've had no response at all. It's like any other calmer in that it's suited to some horses more than others. Worth a try though I'd say.

Doesn't work for mine, gave the second syringe to YO as it does something for hers. Might work for you - note though that it really just appears to be salt water, so in my experience runs back out of their mouth as quickly as it goes in unless you've got a very agreeable horse!

I've used it on my sensitive mare with good results, so a thumbs up from me.

Its just slightly salty water. Read their supposedly scientific trials ,it is all meaningless. A complete and utter waste of time and money.

Dont know anything about it but if it is just slightly salty water do you think it maybe has the placebo effect, maybe because the riders think it is going to help they ride with a bit more confidence.

Only thing is now we have put this thought in your head i guess that wont work oops.
