Support for the spooked or restless horse
Horses have a very strong ‘fight or flight’ instinct and it does not take much for a horse to become spooked and unsettled, lose confidence or become panicked. This can happen for a variety of reasons – new stables (or a new addition to the stables), a traumatic experience, past abuse or a horse may be naturally prone to nerves and jitters. This can become problematic when riding both in and out of competitions, and especially traumatic for the horse in question. Horses may also dislike being transported and may suffer with elevated heart rate, shaking or rapid breathing. Common signs of distress and panic include excessive sweating, tail-swishing, and resistance.
The natural way
There is a lot that can be done naturally to soothe and comfort an anxious and spooky horse. Use slow fluid movements around a jittery horse, and speak in low tones in a calming manner until he is relaxed. Spend ring time just walking with your horse - your consistency will build that needed trust. Next, increase your horse’s turn out time, allowing your horse to expend extra energy in its natural setting. Talk to your feed supplier about low energy feeds which can help to lessen hyperactivity. Specific toys can also serve to relax your horse, as does a gentle rub down or massage. Also, use blinders or blinkers on your horse while leading him or her out of the stall.

How has EQuine Horse Calm helped others?
“… [EQuine Horse Calm] is just great. I was in a riding accident with my stallion last year. Ever since, he has been skittish and lost his confidence. This remedy did the trick, and he is a lot calmer now and not so afraid of everything…. Now I just need something for me!!”
—Ellen, Morongo Valley
“I run a riding school for children. When we introduce a new horse to our group, they often get shy and nervous with the other horses. We cannot afford for our horses to be timid when they have to have children ride them throughout the day. I heard about EQuine Horse Calm and decided to keep some on hand. It has worked miracles – and has become a staple part of my care program.”
—Kimberly
“We have been riding in competition for years. This year my son’s horse was a little nervous before the competition. After a dose of horse calm, his horse seemed so much more relaxed and was still sharp enough to ride well. We have all decided to use it on our horses too!”
—The Laughlan Family
