Your reliable steed could be a safe mount during horse riding ventures, but may actually be a twitchy wreck in an equestrian sport or before a physically taxing activity. These are some natural remedies for the anxiety you need to use on her to help calm her down.
Homeopathic Chamomile “Okay, so chamomile is pretty familiar, what about homeopathic? A homeopathic remedy is one that embraces homeopathy, an alternative cure with base elements embedded in administering minute amounts of a substance to ease symptoms it could cause in larger treatments. Basically, bigger measures of this substance in a healthy pony would cause it to be nervous—but when your mare is already agitatedly nervous, small doses of this can help her out. While this treament does not always calm the pony down, it does restore her brainwaves to a balance that can permit her to think rationally. This cure is generally available at health food stores.
Herbs for adrenal support “This is a pretty new concoction of four herbs that support the adrenal system of a horse so helping her to relax. This fusion of adrenal support herbs can help a mare unwind before new training, her first pony riding session in unfamiliar territory, and can help unwind COPD or heaves symptoms within 30 minutes to 45 minutes. This herb combination can be fed on an everyday basis or for swift relief of anxiousness and similar symptoms.
Probiotics “Probiotics are the good bacteria that flourish in an animal’s stomach—even humans have good bacteria. In horses, probiotics include bifidus and acidophilus. The favorable effect of probiotics in horses is that they produce B12, and the B vitamins, especially B12, have a natural relaxing effect. Mixing in whole food supplements loaded in probiotics before an equestrian event or a long pony riding trek in unfamiliar environs would help shed 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 additions that can be fed on a day-to-day basis or during equestrian events, which makes them real handy in an emergency medical kit.
Blue-green Algae, without the cell walls “O.K, this one is rather more scientific: blue green algae which has been specially 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 implies the anxiety is dealt with from the center of the studs ‘ and mares ‘ nerve systems, and the nutrient elements permeate the brain where not many nutriments reach due to the pony brain-blood barrier. This barrier is a wall that separates circulating blood from cerebral spinal liquid in efforts to keep invading damaging bacteria and the like out of the steed’s brain; sadly, it also keeps away the cool stuff like vitamins and nutrients. Best of all, specifically treated algae is legal for pony shows and competition.
Unless expressly said you’ll have 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 some of them.
