SmartPak SmartCalm Pellets Horse Calming Supplement | No Added Sugar or Herbs | Equine Supplement | 56 Servings | 7.5 lb Bag

The horse I wanted to try this supplement with, readily ate the pellets when I top dressed his soaked beet pulp with them. That is one big hurdle for many horses, but first time he went right for them. He showed no ill effects from the supplement. This horse has made huge gains in his confidence, but one area we have worked on a lot but he still shows nervousness is riding out alone. I am hoping this supplement will take a little of the edge off and we can break through that last piece of training. Unfortunately, I hurt my back a few weeks ago and have needed to back off riding. Next spring, I will use this supplement when we resume riding and report back.I greatly appreciate that this supplement contains nothing that will induce sedation. The level of magnesium is reasonable, considering a mature horse needs between 7.5 and 15g of magnesium per day, depending on exercise level. The 5g (5000 mg) found in this supplement is reasonable. Inositol is found in most cells in a horse’s body. It is thought to regulate serotonin, help with insulin sensitivity, benefit hoof health, and regulate reproductive hormones, among other roles. It is a natural compound. Taurine and thiamine also play crucial roles in the nervous system. SmartPak is a well-trusted source of horse supplements. I reviewed both the research and reviews from others sites. Due to the positive nature of both science and individual’s experiences, I felt confident this was a safe supplement to use and decided to order it.
