Hey does anyone know of a good calming supplement for a horse??
flame_012:
Thanks for all the ideas, hopefully one of these will work.ACE just makes her a dead head. When we ACE her for shows shes gone, she wont do anything.But at barrel races she is a different horse for me....Her names Social Steppin Bar but we call her Chiken since she gets this way, My Grandma, Joyce Mcghee, thought breeding her might change her attitude, but we'll see in about a year lol, but thanks to all of y'all

i use raspberry leaves on my mare, it has helped her marish ways but not the alley issues. I am laying my mare off this winter. I have used chlorapromizine and has helped a little.
good luck hope you find something that works.
KEKE:
I had a gelding named Chicken! He was a handful naturally. I used "AT EASE" by SELECT.....It is all natural, and really works. It can also take an attitude off of one.

Thats great. I love my mares, but im starting to take to geldings more these days after my horse i had since i was two died about to years ago 5days after she had her colt Flame. But my barrel horses are mostly mares. Thanks for the tips

Hi Flame - It's me, Miriam!! Wow, can't believe you are in here!! Hope your gramma is well - miss going to her ranch!! Please say hi to your mom for me - love the purse I recently bought from her!
You know what a nut my Jack horse is, so I will tell you what I do for him. First of all, let me say, not everything works for every horse. I have used every supplement on the market on him, and have seen basically no diff - he is hot and anxious, and that is just him - I work around it. But I do give him 2.5 cc of Fluphenazine every three weeks. It works on his herdboundedness (that awful away-from-the-trailer mess that he pulls) and he can focus without messing up his run. I add a handful of Lite Salt to his grain to make up for the iodine/potassium that the shot takes away. I also got some chlorpromazine from the vet but I haven't tried it yet - want to try it in practice first. Vet said Ace takes their legs out from under them and I don't want that - just some focus.
I have literally tried all the B vitamins, all the magnesium supplements, and it was all just a waste on him. High fiber food helped (i fed him a 25% fiber from Nutrena called Horse Kwik for a long time, but he got used to it), and shutting down his ulcers has helped also - all my guys are on U-Gard pellets now following a course of omeprazole. He is now on Nutrena's 12-8 and that seems to be just about right for his exercise level and body type.
Hope this helps - I didn't get to talk to you at New Caney, but I saw you there, girl - ;-)!!
