Supplements and behaviour

[loobiloo]

I've got to do a presentation as an assessment which is about whether supplements are effective in treating different behaviours. Just wondered if anybody had found any particularly effective or any that didn't work at all and also what the breed, age and sex of the horse they were used on? Thanks for your help.

I gave Tempralax to my Haffie who was experiencing separation anxiety and he certainly seemed to settle after a few days on it. However, giving a definite thumbs up is difficult as (a) he may have settled anyway and (b) it might have been the extra attention he had that made the difference. That might be worth thinking about in your presentation. Good luck!

Thank you! I'll research about those ones. Hadn't even thought about ones for separation anxiety so thank you again. It's good to get someone else's perspective, sometimes can get stuck on one thing!

I think most of them are bollux!

I think some of them don't work but then I've had great results from others. I suppose it all boils down to horse individuality - i think I'm going to need some kind of liquid calmer myself when presenting to a bunch of year 3 undergrads!
