Location: Dubach, LA | Driftwood/FG coming 5. I've had phenomenal success with Relaxmor from TSC on a mare, but it does nothing for the gelding. Keep in mind, I'm cheap. |

| I had a very watchy, nervous gelding and all the calming supplements pricey and cheap, wet saddle blankets, etc did nothing for him. He would spook and sometimes buck from the spook, lol. After a complete work up my vet recommended I try a mare supplement on him to regulate his gelding hormones. MVP Levelor supplement worked amazing on him which and if I couldn't get it Smart Mare Harmony worked well. Both are reasonable and I have also had luck with just straight raspberry leaves. Poise by Herbs of the World is my favorite but pricey.

Location: LaBelle, Florida | Vit B did wonders for one of mine. It seam to level him off as he was very watchy and high energy. Stall pacer if ANYthing was going on outside. It helped him to settle down. |

I've used THE Moody Mare and the SMART Harmony. Both kept my gelding a nicer fellow than what he was prior. He was a jerk prior. He stopped eating the powder, or I'd have kept him on the THE. |

Location: Tex. Panhandle | CEP geardown is a feed through supplement that really helped a couple of mine. They also have a paste that I would use when hauling if I thought they needed a little extra but I saw a significant improvement with the feed through |

| Welcome to riding a Driftwood. Every single one we have had has been like this and they mature late. They remain watchy on the ground but eventually ride well in time. We also keep them on ulcer meds. |

Location: Jersey Girl | I had really good results with a very reactive/spooky gelding on Smartpak Ultra Calm. It took the edge off of him. I don't recall it being too pricey (I am cheap too) and they have a money back gurantee if you aren't happy with it. I've only seen results with B-1 on mares. In my experience it didn't change anything for geldings. |

I forgot about the CBD pellets. It worked real well but it was out of my pocketbook range. |
