Rescue Remedy

Does it actually work????
Never used it before but someone suggest it might work for me with my new boy, so I calm down when getting on on my own.
Thoughts would be appreciated

It's worked for me in various situations, but I take more than, and more frequently, than they say on the bottle!

Hi, I use the pastilles before competing and find they really do work whereas the liquid didn't do a thing for me.

You have to put 3 or 4 in your mouth at the same time though & sort of suck them/chew them very slowly and they take about 5 minutes to work. Eating one at a time doesn't really seem to do anything tbh.

Yes Ive used it on myself and it seems to help. Ive also given it to my mare before I wonder if its psycological though and we think its helping? Im not sure .

 

[Chellebean]

awesome, where do you get the pastilles from? xx

I use it and find it works boots have a 3 for 2 offer on at the moment so stocked up on liquid and pastells

I've used it myself and have also given it to a mare of mine who was difficult to load... I just dipped sliced apples in the stuff (For her, not me) although i'm not sure if its just a placebo effect... but it took the edge off things in my mind lol

I give it to all my pupils for their driving tests, it seems to work, but then I have no idea if it really does or if it is simply psycological.

You can get the whole range in Holland & Barrett. I prefer the strawberry flavoured pastilles but don't leave them in a hot car as they all melt into one gooey lump. I prefer to use a squirty bottle and do 4 squirts if I feel in the need - usually just before I ride my stallion - you have to be in the right frame of mind for him!
It does work - whether it is psycological (sp) or not - what does it matter? I have used it on the horses but I find that I get better results with the horses by sprinkling lavender on a body brush and chilling us both out as I groom in readiness for a ride. But be careful if your horse has sensitive skin.
Thinking about it though - if you are calm then the horse should be too.
