| Really thinking of trying some herbs like Mare Magic or something else to help with the witchy attitudes one of my mares is towards other horses and just on the ground basically. Very moody. Treated her for ulcers already. She's had the winter off, so she's not sore, I'm going to start legging her up in a week. I've heard some mention Herb n Horse. Anyone have any proof that herbs can help? Thanks! |

| Mare magic is just raspberry leaves and you can find them much much cheaper in bulk (even food grade certified organic if you so desire).
The magnesium in the raspberry leaves is what can help, I've even seen it balance some geldings out. As cheap as you can get them it would be my starting place to try. |

| While I don't have any mares, I've had a lot of luck with Silver Lining Herbs for different issues. If you want to try it, I can get you a code for 10% off! |

Location: Where you need a paddle... Oregon! | I buy raspberry leaf at the little health food store in town. They have it in bulk and I fill up a produce sized plastic bag. I just started feeding it this week. About a fistful a day in their grain. Normally I can't tell when my mare comes in, but last year this time she was pastured by herself for the first time and she began breaking through the fence and running the pasture. I wasn't feeding any raspberry leaf then. This year she has my daughter's mare with her and I figured it would be smart to get ahead of the game. They are starting to shed, so I figured now is the time. |

| My mare has very painful heats, ovary pain, etc.. Bumping and rubbing up against stuff. She pees every time another horse walks by her, swishes her tail etc... But she is a true 1D work horse. Finally talked to my vet and we put her on Regumate and she is EXTREMELY THANKFUL!!!! Nice, calm, relaxed, happy happy girl! |

If I may ask, what are some of the things your mare is doing? I have a 22 yo broodmare who has decided she does not like one of the other mares & will chase her relentlessly!! The old mare will go til her sides are heaving & she is drenched in sweat, if the other mare doesn't fight back.
There are 5 horses, 3 mares & 2 geldings, oldest is the broodmare 22, then the mare she doesn't like is 9, broodmares filly 4, broodmares 2yo gelding & 8 yo gelding. They have all been together all of their lives!!!!
The old mare aborted in October. I didn't notic her doing this til the last 3 weeks. She's always been the boss mare & the other mare, I do not believe, would challenge her.
I have a vet appt for the old mare Friday, just looking for ideas or answers or anything!!!! |

My mare is just plain ole "witchy" or acts like a ''diva" I call it. She's not a witch to ride at all...but cranky at her one other pasturemate that's a mare, and one gelding. I just treated her a full 30 days for ulcers. She's also cinchy, like pins her ears, but that's it, gets over it. No kicking. She's a crank just in general when other horses come up to me at a show, LOL so I'm just looking for something to take that crankiness away if at all possible. No she's not sore, she just came off a long 4 month winter break too :) |

Have you had your vet check her reproductive system for problems, like cysts or infections? Do you have the vet do a Caslick's during competition months? Just thinking out loud. |

Do they have independent dealers? I've always ordered directly from SLH and use the coupon brendamays. I have seen it in stores occasionally. |

worked wonders on a mare that was the worse I have ever seen. One palm full a day was all it took. A pound bag, bought on the internet, lasts for months. It was certainly worth a try for us and I highly recomend it. |

Never had a problem with even my picky horse eating it. We used to give it to our geldings that were kind of high anxiety. I am trying to remember the website that was the cheapest but have not ordered it in several years. |

Location: North Dakota | I really like MareAculous as well. I tried it on my 5 year old and it chilled her out enough for me to notice. For example, she was a "kicker" and liked to kick strange horses. My sister couldnt even tie her gelding NEAR us, this mare was out to get him. After being on mareaculous for about 3 to 4 weeks, I was able to tie her beside him no problems. And she quit trying to kick other horses as well. |

Going to try this out..my mare hates others next to her as well..and I just treated her for ulcers so I'm doing a process of elimination. Thanks |

haven't really noticed a difference yet. Interesting to know that my mare is not the only one that kicks out at other horses. I've never had my geldings do this before so this is new to me. I'm hoping this bad habit clears up soon. |

I would use with caution and not long term. Great for acute onset of certian ailments but not long term. |
