I have a hot little horse who I plan to take off the farm for the first time soon. This means trips to other farms and trail rides. I would like to make this experience as safe and trauma free as possible for all concerned. Understanding my beastie as I do, I realize for me to achieve this goal I am going to have to rely on some pharmaceuticals until he understands the horse trailer and subsequent new experiences are not some sort of ritual horse torture.
Ive been reading that there is no medical evidence that the herbal products actually work. Is this the experience that you folks have had? In the past I have had some success using the tablet form of Ace on hot horses and then weaning them off. I've had other experts say they think Ace just makes horses cranky,( I've only seen this once). What do you think? Laura Coffey
