| Asking for some Help......Please! We have a race bred mare who is pretty hot on the ground. Rode her last year after coming home from 30 days riding from a professional. Had the wrong saddle, she got cinchy and now it's a head thing. She has been adjusted, a new saddle which fits good, but still will have an occasional blow-up when saddling. Knowing the horse, I really really think it is her being a "pistol" Am embarrassed to say, but last week, just started to cinch her and she pulled back and what a wreck. Well, then I left her tied up about all day and just started back in with her yesterday. Gave her 2.5cc of Ace on the tongue, and we had a different horse! I was so happy with her. She was not hanging her head, just focused. Saddling was easy, worked on lungeline both ways in correct leads, stopped at a verbal whoa, just perfect. Long story short, I would like to know if anyone has used Finish Line's calm em product? I really think if this mare would come down .5 of a notch, she could be awesome. Terrific athlete and likes to run and turn when turned out. I have tried B1 on her, didn't touch her. Would just like to try a product that would be inexpensive and just level her out. Thanks!!!! |

Location: Texas | I started Calm 'em about a month ago on my older horse. He would become really hyped in the alleyway and by the time we rounded 3rd he was a runaway. REALLY scary! Would not listen, would not stop - just zoned and was an idiot to ride. Great manners on the ground, but a head case to ride anywhere. Well I competed twice since starting the Calm'em and let me tell you he is a different guy altogether. He is not droopy or dopey, but is focused and listens AND has a wonderful whoa! Even stays calm during slow work at home. I love the stuff and have put my colt on it - he is a spooky lunging mess sometimes and I want to see if it helps. Only on it 2 days, so I am waiting - it says 10 days to see results. My fingers are crossed that is has as much of an effect on him as the seasoned horse. I will be in heaven! I have never tried Ace, but I will be sure and have a supply of Calm'em at all times. I think it is wonderful! |

Location: LouLouVille, OK | Mouse, I got a gallon of the stuff for free when I order my fluid action last year, and I haven't used it on anything so If I ever run into you, I will try and have it in my trailer and you can try it.... I thought about just feeding it, cause it has vitamins in it, but didn't really ever follow through with it, it's just sitting there, |
