Nutrition and exercise are both key components in making sure your horse is calm and focused. Horses in the wild spend the majority of their days grazing and walking around. Making sure your horse gets plenty of turnout and exercise is a great place to start when looking for ways to help calm the nervous horse.

Also take a look at your horse’s diet; are you filling him up with grains like corn and oats? Many grains are very high in carbohydrates which give your horse extra energy that he might not need. If your horse needs more calories in his diet to maintain weight providing him with a high fat and fiber diet is a much better option for the excitable horse. If you make these changes and your horse is still showing signs of nervousness then consider adding a calming supplement to help take the edge off. 

Kauffman’s Calming Pellets are an ideal solution to help your horse relax and stay focused. Kauffman’s Calming Pellets are proven to be an effective and legal way to relax and calm your horse before a competition, race or show as they are herb free and do not contain any added tryptophan.  Kauffman’s Calming Pellets contain a unique blend of magnesium and vitamin B-1 all in a palatable, easy-to-feed pellet your horse will be sure to enjoy.
