Calming herbs may help restore balance to the equine nervous system. 

Although calming herbs may be effective in helping horses to maintain their composure and level-headedness, they are not believed to dull the senses or interfere with your horse’s healthy reflexes. By helping horses to gain control of negative and overly emotional responses, it is thought that calming herbs may help them to focus their attention on the job at hand and make use of themselves more proficiently.

Contains five key ingredients

Vervain: May assist tense horses that are sensitive, impatient and reactive.

Chamomile: May be considered a calming and relaxing herb for the nervous and digestive systems. 

Ginger: May help calm the stomach and may have a “warming” property for the body and blood.

Dosage

40g per day/500kg horse

How to Administer

Dried herbs may be added directly to your horses dampened feed in their dry state. Alternatively, (recommended) they may be made into an infusion (herbal tea) prior to use and the soaked herbs and liquid poured over their feed. By making an infusion prior to feeding, this is believed to release more nutrients from the herbs and may increase the health benefits.
