why would you ride a horse you have to give a 'calming' suppliment to?
I can definately understand a little in a stressful situation, but to have a horse on a maintenance dose or able to go to a show?
Some put their horses on calm and cool, quietex or other maintenance products to keep the animal a little more relaxed in stressful enviroments. They choose to do this when a horse has extreme capabilities at home and in small get togethers but when they take them to extremely busy and over crowded enviroments. Shows as MSA or Mounted Wanderers, It can stress a horse out to not be as focused. Trailoring with unfamiliar horses, traffic, an ambulance or fire truck passing the trailer, rushing to an emergency. These products can make a horse safer to handle an be around.
Some horses matabolizims (sp) are simular to humans. With all the natural products out there and everyone trying it for themselves like, ginko, for memory, etc, there is also help for animals. We are learning more every day
B1 Thiaman vitamin works best in calming horses. The race track trainers use Liquid "Thia cal" Helps keep the horses focused in the race track hussle bussle, There are alot of just B-1 suppliments out there that will also help the right side so to speak of the brain for horses.
Quietex was removed temporarily, or for good from the market. not sure yet.
Good Luck in finding the right alternative
