Even the best trained horses can experience anxiety and nervousness occasionally. Some situations, like shipping or having their teeth done can stress out even the quietest of equines. Maybe your favorite mount is just a little high strung. Having an equine calming aid in your feed room that you know works quickly and safely for all horses is a gift to horse owners.
Ingredients That Help Relax Nervousness
Finding a horse calming supplement that is both safe and effective takes a little homework. You’ll want to skip any calming agents that use a drug to relax your horse. Calming is not the same as sedation. Not only can drugging your horse cause him to lose focus, but it’s dangerous, habit-forming and against competition rules. Make sure to carefully read the label. Look for all-natural, soothing ingredients such as L-Tryptophan, Magnesium and Vitamin B.
How Does Tryptophan Work to Calm Horses?
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the equine brain that helps lower the level of fear, stress and anxiety that horses may experience. It has a mild sedating effect that is achieved without drugs. The amino acid, L-Tryptophan, is a building block of serotonin. Horses that lack tryptophan often exhibit anxiety, nervousness and spook easily. This naturally occurring ingredient is used in equine supplements to produce quieter behavior in horses.
Benefits of Magnesium Proteinate
Magnesium is a key ingredient in most calming supplements because it’s known to help horses that tend to be excitable and jumpy. Stress can cause their magnesium levels to drop. Equines that have a magnesium deficiency may act anxious and jittery. Magnesium Proteinate is a chelated trace mineral with a high degree of bioavailability meaning the body can absorb more of it rather than waste it. For equine athletes, magnesium can have a performance boosting effect as it increases oxygen delivery to muscles and helps the body metabolize carbohydrates and amino for all day stamina.
Vitamin B in Equine Mood Supplements
The same B vitamins that are known for having anti-anxiety effects on people can also help horses to relax. B Vitamins are commonly used for performance horses to ease the stress of travel and competition. Thiamine or B1 is often sold alone for its calming and relaxing effects on scared or easily excited horses.
