Your faithful steed could be a safe mount during horse riding ventures, but may very well be a twitchy wreck in an equestrian sport or before a physically taxing activity. Here are some natural treatments for the anxiety you can use on her to help calm her down.

Homeopathic Chamomile “OK, so chamomile is fairly familiar, what about homeopathic? A homeopathic cure is one that embraces homeopathy, an alternative cure with base elements embedded in administering minute amounts of a substance to alleviate symptoms it may cause in larger treatments. In essence, bigger measures of this substance in a healthy pony would cause it to be nervous—but when your mare is already agitatedly scared, little treatments of this could help her out. While this cure does not always calm the horse down, it does restore her brainwaves to a balance that permits her to think clearly. This cure is readily available at health food stores.

Herbs for adrenal support “This is a relatively new mixture of four herbs that support the adrenal system of a pony and helps her to unwind. This mixing of adrenal support herbs can help a mare calm down before new coaching, her first horse riding session in unfamiliar territory, and can help relax COPD or heaves symptoms inside half an hour to 45 minutes. This herb combination can be fed on a daily basis or for immediate relief of anxiousness and similar symptoms.

Probiotics “Probiotics are the good bacteria that prosper in an animal’s stomach—even humans have good bacteria. In horses, probiotics include bifidus and acidophilus. The constructive effect of probiotics in horses is they produce B12, and the B vitamins, particularly B12, have a natural calming effect. Mixing in whole food supplements loaded in probiotics before an equestrian event or a long horse riding trek in unfamiliar environs would help get rid of any upsetting reactions.

Equilite Feed Supplements “Commercial yes, but natural too. Equilite’s Relax and RelaxHer Blend of feed supplements are Valerian-free, natural herb supplements that may be fed on an everyday basis or during equestrian events, which makes them real handy in a first aid kit.

Blue-green Algae, without the cell walls “O.K, this one is a bit more scientific: blue green algae that has been specifically processed and had their cell walls removed is good for your horses because the substances left—the pure core of the algae cells—are easily absorbed by the horses ‘ brains. This suggests the apprehension is dealt with from the center of the studs ‘ and mares ‘ nerve systems, and the nutriments permeate the brain where not many nutriments reach owing to the horse brain-blood barrier. This barrier is a wall that separates circulating blood from cerebral spinal fluid in efforts to keep invading dangerous bacteria and so on out of the steed’s brain; unfortunately, it also keeps away the really good stuff like vitamins and nutrients. Best of all, specially treated algae is legal for pony shows and competition.

Unless distinctly mentioned you’ll need to check with your equestrian sport authority if these substances are legal in shows and competition, and not all horses react the same way to a few of them.
