Rescue Remedy

[MardyMare]

I have done a quick search on forum and found results for using on horses but I have bought some for myself. Got horsie going well out at lessons but enter at A and it goes a bit pear shaped. So bought a bottle of RR yesterday for me - because its probably me that tenses at A

However, in rushing round house last night doing five things at once I have misplaced the little instruction pamphlet. I got as far as the four drops per glass or onto the tongue

(hope it tastes nice) BUT when do I take it ? At the competition before getting on or in the morning or when? Have any of you used it and did it work ?

Thanks

One, it tastes disgusting, sorry.
I take it a few times a day if I'm stressed. I'd take it the evening before, then in the moring, and then right beofre you get on.

I find it's more effective if you let it build up in your system, as it can take a while to kick in.

Well I have used it on the morning of a competition. I put 4 drops in some fruit juice and yes it does taste yuck!

Personally I would say that it does help - won't totally solve any anxiety but worth a try

Also, just found the Bach Flower remedies booklet that came with the mixing bottle that our dogs stuff is in, which says atleast 4 drops 4 times a day, it doesn't give a maximum dose.

One thing I would say is to try it out before your competition too.. I have always taken it but I find if I take too much I get too spaced out and struggle to be with it.. Sounds a bit drastic but as with everything like this it effects different people in different ways.. I know it is difficult to guage how it will effect you when you are adrenalined up too but always worth a test run first.
I personally quite like the taste too?!

 

[alilovesreno]

Really? I've never heard of that happening to anyone before. But then again, I've never heard of anyone liking the taste either!

1/2 a bottle glugged before a class really helps me

Oh, I think it tastes quite nice! I take it as and when, getting ready, when we get there, before getting on! I have though just bought some confidence drops from Boots and I have been using them just before I go out hacking and they have really helped.

lol.. it probably doesn't help that I am a touch on the dippy side anyway!! Or could it be the fact that the carrier is 27% proof Brandy?!

 

[MardyMare]

Gosh thanks for all your replies

Am a little nervous now as to what it tastes like and what I will behave like lol. Will give it a try tomorrow as boss is out for the day so if I am a little spaced out will just get through day quicker lol. I remember reading somewhere about the alcohol. If its brandy - shall I try it with coke?

hehe I vote for the glugging of half a bottle! I tried to give it Peds - couldnt get it near him so I glugged it instead - and it works by proxy ;-)
