Location: Blissfully happy Giants fan!!! | Does anyone feed rasberry leaves with chaste berry (aka agnus castus) with it? I heard the chaste berry is even better than rasberry leaves but both works wonders.
I think Mare Magic has both but from what I have read, more of the chaste berry than rasberry leaves is better.
I am debating going to an herb store and mixing my own or getting the mare magic. |

| Those that use it do you think it would help a mare that's seems to nearly always be in season screams like no other pees ever where is spooky and un focused while in season? She's so awful I really thought about spaying or doing a marble! |

This sounds more like a canidate for Donq Quai.

Location: Florida | I do not have a need for Rasp Leaves with my mare but my gelding is on 2 oz. year round for imflamation. It helps him a great deal. Any adverse effects I can't think of any unless you suffer from hemaphilia.
I have many clients who use Raspberry & Donq Quai. Raspberry, for physical symptoms, ovary/uterun pain, grumpy arouns cycles.
Donq Quai for high strung, witchy mares or irregular cycles (frequent heat cycles).
Any Bulk Organic Herb Company will carry both. I like Mountainrodeherbs.com & Bulkherbusa.com |

Location: Texas Big Country | Update! I have tried the raspberry leaves cut sifted just bought on line from health site. 3 mares have been on it for 2 months. #1 mare not much difference. #2 Mare (the one I started the whole project for - significant difference, much less discomfort and she quit doing the spasm thing entirely. #3 mare huge surprise. I always thought she just had a crappy attitude, but is such a gritty mare i love her anyway. Tried the leaves on her and she had a complete and dramatic personality change, enough that my husband even noted it. SHe started trusting me more and is much more willing in a very short time. Also she went from 3D to 1D (at 4 races now-all 1D) in this same time frame. Not a scientific trial, however good enough for me to keep buying them!
Just for anyone out there interested. I am NOT into herbs, or any of the non-research documented "healing" stuff. I don't do all the fancy feed supplements and I don't even do Chiro. I am old fashioned to the hilt, so if I believe this is a big difference, it had to smack me in the face, lol!

| lindseylou2290 - 2014-09-30 11:52 AM I use it year round. I LOVE it. I have seen the results and the longer I use it, the better the results. Before raspberry leaves, I used injections (oxytocin) and my SO gave her ReguMate (prgesterone) for me. While these worked, it was expensive and time consuming. The raspberry leaves work well for my mare and I do like using them year round. I have not seen any side effects after 2 years of feeding them. That's my experience. Hope it helps. ETA - I just buy Mare Magic at TSC or the feed store - its easy and roughly 20$ a pound. You can also buy cut and sifted leaves from amazon for about the same money. :)
Same here. I use it year round. Keeps my mare from getting sore in her back during her heat cycle. And she gets so sore she tries to buck me off if I don't use it. But I purchase it in bulk from an online herb company and pay anywhere from $6 - $9 per lb. plus shipping. I feed a approx. 1/4 cup at each feeding
