I wanted to recommend this product as I think it has definitely helped Ali to be a bit more chilled out!
I've been using it since mid-July, and he seemed to be a lot more relaxed when I was warming him up at a DI events 10 days after I started to use it. I have to say I'm not certain whether that was due to the heat or due to the calmer, as the calmer shouldn't kick in that quickly TBH.
He coped well when I brought him to a busy yard for 3 days for dressage training - He usually gets quite stressy when he's in a different environment! I do believe that the calmer did make a difference in this situation. He's much calmer and focused when I'm schooling him and hacking him out now, although he's still full of energy and it hasn't completely taken the edge off him!
So if you're looking for a daily calmer that won't completely take "the edge" off your horse or completely dope him out, but will help make your horse more focused, then I recommend giving NAF Five Star Magic a try.
Bear in mind that every horse is different when it comes to the effects a calmer has on them :nod:
I feed one measure a day (I add half in the morning and half in the evening into his feed) but on the night before a show/"stressy situation" and on the morning of an event/"stressy situation" I double this :)
