calming a mare

LKMote · Postby **LKMote** » Thu Oct 11, 2007 6:10 pm

Can anyone recommend a good supplement to give a nervous mare? I have one that tends to weave real bad when moved from the others even if she is with one other horse. (She is fine when they are all together in the barn.) She was much better before we had to euthanize her best friend. We have been trying to figure out which of our other mares she like best to try to get her to buddy up with, so far we haven't found the right pairing.

Try putting a sheep with her. Could do the trick.

We will try that. We do have a few on our property.

Quietex works great. I was given a well bred yearling filly because she was a weaver, stall walker ect and the owner/trainer said she wouldnt make it at the track since she was so high strung. I have her on Quietex and you would never know its the same horse.
