Rescue remedy

[TinselRider]

Hi,
Im planning to start competing soon and as Lou hasn't been to any shows in over a year (does get a bit excitable) I was planning on putting some rescue remedy in her water a few days before a show.

I was just wondering what sort of results anyone using it has had.

I drink loads of the stuff, its great!! Never given it to a horse though.

i used it for my boy a few times it seemed to work i remember one time i gave him quite a bit

and my friend thought i'd given him sedative he was so chilled lol

i used it when viewing horses as i go SO nervous i would be hsaking and going dizzy! it worked really well!! i took loads of it though!! every 5 mins when we got 2omins away from where the horse was, i would be spraying it!!

I wouldn't bother putting it in the water it will be so diluted that I doubt it will do anything. Just spray it in the horses mouth a couple of minutes before you compete. Give yourself a squirt as well, alot of the time the horse picks up on the tension shown by the rider. Good Luck

Or you could just take a good tot of brandy

I put a couple of drops on herbal type treats and feed them to my boy an hour then 30 min then 10 min before we go do whatever it is thats bothering him, i usually keep a few in my pocket to give him later if needed (gest stressed hacking out) and use it myself before riding out so I dont wind him up....

seems to work pretty well...

Forget the horse take a good glug youself (drops/sprays arent enough!).

A friend of mine who has 4 horses has recommended these rescue remedy treatments to me and also the bach flower remedies too.
I like aromatherapy and may give this a try myself as it seems good for both horse and rider.
Scarlett you could try looking on ebay for one, well both really a helper as well as a saddle.
I know sometimes listings advertising for help etc may get deleted but ebay have a wanted section too where you can ask for items so it may be worth a try.
My friend is selling a saddle see ebayer weeklink but it is black and a wintec one so it may not be any good to you. But she is a good, honest seller so if anyone else is looking for a saddle take a look at the listing.
Also you could put an advert on www.stabletalk.co.uk
as it seems to be quite a good site.
Hope that helps?

I got the spray and use it before I have to give presentations at Uni! I also gave it to my mare by spraying it onto her bit just before I put it in her mouth although I'm sure there's better ways to administer it! She was very chilled that day but unfortunately it only lasted halfway round the hack and suddenly she became her usual nappy self! Perhaps I should have gone armed with some horse treats laced in it also!
