Extreme Veteran Posts: 599	I just used it for the first time a few weeks ago. My mare about came out of her skin. I gave it 3 days before the show and the first night at the show, she turned crazy. Tearing and spinning (which she had never done before) and she seemed like she was frantically trying to get TO the arena. I stopped it that night and she was fine the next two days at the show. I asked my vet if it was possible my horse had a reverse reaction, but she didn’t think so. Either way, I won’t be using it again. I could have bought something cool with that money!! Lol

Expert Posts: 2258	I have used it on a couple horses . One mare who was frantic when hauled it helped a bunch basically got her over her anxiety. The other horses I do think helped but he had some other issues that needed to be addressed and owners were now. The mare we had I knew had ulcers as well so we did this after we treated the ulcers. She has been healthy and happy for 2 yrs now. I just did the 20 days and I think if you want it to work right you need to follow the protocol do 20 days in a row then use as needed.
