gives like horse wormers paste

My horse had a scary incident on the trails. A ghost only visible to her, jumped out in front and really scared her! She refused to even go out the gate after that, she would just shake! I gave her 1/2 a tube. Tacked her up, lunged her, then rode her for a bit….she still was quite energetic, but walked out to the trails a lot better. Still didn’t get as far as we used to. I’ll keep using it until she is more relaxed without it. There was a definite difference!

Works okay, but not like I expected.

I got this to help our horse with the fireworks for New Year's Eve and 4th of July. I followed instructions and our horse was fine for New Year's Eve. I'm hopeful for 4th of July. It can be rather scary up by us.

I bought a couple of these tubes of calming paste in anticipation of the 4th of July. We have a lot of fireworks that go off all around my pasture and I wanted to be sure that my mare was calm. The year before, she ran a lot and was pretty stressed out and I was worried she might try to run through the fence. Also, her pasture mate was off at the trainers this year, and she was in the pasture by herself this time, and she's a lot calmer with another horse in the pasture with her. Since she wouldn't have her pasture mate to help her feel not so alone, I dosed her according to the instructions before the fireworks got started. I didn't have expectations that this paste would "sedate" her, as I know this is NOT a sedation drug. But I did see a marked difference in her behavior and when the fireworks were going off, she stayed quietly in the back of the pasture and didn't run around and didn't seem overly stressed out. She was still stressed - and I can't control what the neighborhoods do around me, but at least she wasn't running and seemed better able to self regulate herself. I walked out there several times during that night, and she came up to me, and wasn't overly reactive, so that was very nice to see. I will use it again if I need something to knock the edge off - and I suspect the next 4th of July.

I've used this product for thirty years! Farnam always makes great items and it helps when you have an over reactive horse. Doesn't drug them, just calms the anxiety enough so they can actually focus and listen. I've used in trailering situations where the horse was anxious in the trailer, shows, and just riding when the horse was over whelmed with everything going on. Price is good, easy to give, and no worries of overdosing with this.

This product works very well on my horse that has anxiety issues on the trail with a group. Takes the edge off and allows us to ride with friends!

Price is good and my horse seems to not mind the taste (she is super picky) but I’m not convinced it really works. I bought 3 tubes and have used two of them. It also was more of a gel than a paste. She actually reared the last two times I gave it to her after not having a rearing problem in almost 2 years so I almost think this may have made things worse.
