Behaviour & Calming Supplements for Horses

Our Calming Supplement Range

Daily calming powders and liquids support everyday anxiety in nervous horses. Pre-competition pastes and single-dose sachets provide quick support before stressful events like shows, travel or farrier visits.

Some supplements combine calming ingredients with digestive support for horses stressed by competing or travelling. Liquid supplements suit horses that are fussy eaters; powders are economical for daily use; pastes and sachets are convenient for one-off situations.

Choosing the Right Supplement

For everyday anxiety in a naturally nervous horse, a daily powder or liquid works best as consistency matters. Before a specific stressful event like a competition or farrier visit, a pre-event paste or sachet gives targeted support without committing to daily feeding. During seasonal stress (spring grass changes, herd reorganisation), a short-term course can help your horse settle. Travelling benefits from dedicated travel calming options if your horse is a poor traveller. Match the product to your exact situation for best results.

Horse Supplement Types Compared

Powders are economic and easy to feed daily, simply mixed into feed. Liquids are fast-absorbing and work well for horses that spit out powders or are fussy eaters. Pastes and sachets are pre-measured and convenient for competition day as they are quick to administer and there is no mixing required.

We’d recommend choosing powder or liquid for daily support, paste or sachet for pre-event use. Some riders use both, keeping a daily supplement running whilst also having sachets ready for competition.

FAQs

What form of supplement is easiest to feed?
It depends on your horse. Powders mix easily into feed but some horses reject them if they're fussy. Liquids are absorbed quickly and suit fussy feeders well. Sachets are pre-measured and convenient for travel or competition. Try a few options to see what your horse will accept consistently.

Can I use a calming horse supplement on competition day?
es you can. Pre-competition sachets and pastes are designed for this. Give them 30-60 minutes before you need the effect. Daily supplements show better results with consistent use over weeks, so starting a daily routine before the event gives you maximum benefit.

Are these supplements safe for my horse long-term?
Yes, calming supplements from quality brands are formulated for long-term daily use. Some horses benefit from running them year-round; others use them seasonally or for specific events. Consult your vet if your horse is on medications to check for any interactions.

Which brands do you stock for calming supplements?
We stock NAF, Hilton Herbs, Global Herbs, Science Supplements and Dodson & Horrell. Each brand offers different formulations and active ingredients. If one doesn't suit your horse, trying a different brand may give better results.
