My mare loves her job and is very focused. When we are by the gate, especially when standing still before our run, I FEEL her heartbeat through her body. I give her ranitidine and great feed program. I know adrenaline is part of the game but she will also pass a very loose stool by the gate too. I just want to help her feel a bit better with less butterflies. Thanks!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Pozzi Relax Paste by Oxy....My gelding is so much more focused, calm and we are clocking faster than last year by a whole division. It is a great energy pre-race paste as well as having two calmers and helps settle thier stomachs to help reduce any ulcer problems. Good luck!
I'm getting good results with Animal Element's In The Zone paste. Streak had gotten a little more nervous than I like after a big race in March, so this weekend, I gave him half the recommended dose of ITZ both days and he was practically asleep outside the gate but still ran well. I figured it was better to give a little for a few runs than to fight with him even a little.
