What's the best calmer/magnesium-type-thing...

Equifeast cool, calm and collected. Has the added bonus that if it isn't working for you after a few weeks they will tweak the recipe until it does it work.
 
Straight mgnesium which you can from naturalhorsesupplies online. They also do other calmers which I've not tried but the mag s good.
 
Unfortunately if your horse isnt lacking in magnesium, all these products could actually make him worse! Another tentative vote for equifeast as I have just got my pony onto it -and it seems to have persuaded him to be more serious already. Now tweaking it for extra despooking! If you are going to use something, try one magnesium based supplement for a few weeks, then give this one a go... you need to load it for 4 weeks though!Best to ring them.
 
I have just started using Zylkene and Danny has gone from being a spooky napping nervous wreck who reared, napped and wouldn't put one foot in front of another to a horse who done a dressage test at our Local RC show and came 6th. I had tried a few time to do dressage at local shows and schooling nights and before Zylkene we had never manged to get through a test without Danny rearing and napping and just spooking at everything, we also managed to go show jumping last week and again the first time without his spooking and nerves nearly killing me, we actually managed to jump every jump a first for us. Riding instructor at my RC couldn't believe the difference as he was so relaxed
