My paint gelding was starting to develop an attitude in his stall at feeding time as well when it came time to ride. He was getting jumpy and a little unpredictable. I was getting nervous when the owners of my barn would feed him and be going in and out of stall. He was starting to kick the boards out of his stall, and I didnt want an accident to occur with someone. I was 50/50 about this product after reading some of the reviews, some good some bad. After Bentley being on this product for a week I noticed a BIG difference in his attitude. I give him 1 scoop in the morning with his feed and he gobbles it up! Hes much calmer in his stall, and more focused when riding. I highly recommend this product for someone looking to help take the edge off their horses. This product is something I will continue to give my gelding.

My horse is always a little jumpy so I got this thinking it would help but he wouldn't eat it. I even feel he has gotten more spooked at things.

I used this in the last 3-4 months. I haven't used in the last week as I've run out and notice a big difference in behavior. They spook more easily and are more anxious. I'm sold. Easy to use--just sprinkle on feed and they gobble it up.

vita calm from columbiaville,mi.
i got this for my 6yr.old half quarter half walker mare, she is very reactive , but this product has done wonders for her . this product does not work on all horses though, my daughter used this on her quarter horse and it made her very hyper. it did just the oppsite of what it is supposed to. these two horses are mother & daughter. i would recommend this to anyone with a horse who truly needs to be calm.

this is an amazing product. It helps my 13year old MFT to focus and listen to commands.

My Daughter has a QH that she competes in Cowboy Mounted Shooting with. He is the herd leader at home, but when we take him to shoots he becomes very insecure without the herd. While we are working on building his confidence in the arena away from the herd, we tried Vita-Calm for our last shoot and her horse had all the confidence in the world! It was just enough to take the edge off so that he would focus on my Daughter! He responded to every cue and ran the courses without fail. They even won the second day! Great product, we feel blessed to have found something to help him out while we work on his confidence! I have to admit, I was sceptical, but it really worked for us!

I was at my wits end before Vita calm.My young daughters horse was great except in the arena,were she would flip out rear up and run away with my daughter.Now she's calm cool and collected.She's even a breeze to load now.She even loves the taste.

We use this for my daughter's mare. It calms her down so that she goes only as fast as my daughter asks her to go. Her coat is beautiful year round and she loves the taste!

Not only helps with the horse digestive system, but helps to keep the young horse calm when working with them.

Vita Calm from Deming, NM
Doesn't work. I have a spooky horse and although he loves the taste, it has not helped with "calming" him down.

My horse actually got worse since I started feeding it. Now he will not stand still at the trailer and a few other things he's doing that he didn't use to do.

I use this on my horse and this product works better than other products I have used. Works great! My horse does not mind it in his food either.

i was truly at the end of my rope with my appy gelding. he was so nervous and spooky, i was nervous even brushing him, let alone riding him.(the last time i'd been on him, he'd spooked so violently upon seeing my friend walking around the corner of the barn, that i was thrown and cracked a rib.)if i tried to lunge him, he'd be ok, until a leaf blew the wrong way. then he'd buck and pull so hard that i could barely hold onto him.i couldn't let my dog around him either because he'd charge him and throw kicks at him for no reason.i'd tried several other calming supplements, but none had worked. because of the price, i gave this a try. what a difference! i can brush or blanket him now without fear that he'll spook and jump ontop of me. he still looks at things, but doesn't jump out of his skin like he used to. he doesn't seem aggressive to my dog anymore either. i won't let them loose together, just in case, but through the fence or over the stall door, there is no more ears pinned at him or anything. he just ignores the dog now.i trust this horse enough now to allow my 2 year old son to pet him, something i never would've done before. he's not drugged or dopey, either, which is important to me. he still lover to run and play in his paddock, and has as much energy as he ever did. he just seems alot calmer, safer, and i think happier too.

I got this product to help my half Arab mare chill out at Fair for the 12 yr old riding her. I didn't have the opportunity to test it before hand but boy did it work great. Just took enough of the edge off in the arena (the only place she's overly excited)to allow her intermediate rider to do her thing and place in pretty much every class. And without knockin my horse out or makin her stupid. I highly recommend this product for any hot or possibly hot or just overly excited horse

I purchased a 4yr old Tennessee Walker Mare last winter and when I got her home she was totally nuts!!! Couldn't catch her,very spooky and terribly head shy. If I was lucky and she came up to me to feed,she was always in a stretched out stance ready to flee any second. I tried the Vita-Calm and saw a difference within the first week. She gets it everyday in her feed and is now a stable,workable horse. We couldn't live without this stuff!!!

I have a thoroughbred gelding ex racer that is naturally high strung would dig at feeding time and would threaten rearing when we tried to take him out on a ride. he is a completely different horse no more digging and very calm not so aggitated. Highly recomend this stuff. Great buy to!

I bought this to give to my gelding that can be very hyper. I fed him the maximum daily dose for a week and I also used it on a young horse that I own just to see if it would calm him a little more. There was no change at all in my gelding's temperament and the young horse actually seemed to be more difficult to handle. There were no other changes to their diet or exercise. Both horses are ridden a few times a week and they eat a mixture of oat and alfalfa hay with no grain. This does seem to work pretty well as a skin and coat supplement, but it certainly had no calming affect on either of the horses I tried it on. I'm surprised at the high reviews that this product has received for calming horses. I either got a bad batch of this product or the other high reviews are the result of a placebo effect.

I have a stallion who was frustrated from a quiet breeding season and mares nearby. He was nipping and being pushy when turned out. After a week of this product he was back to his "gelding like" self. No more biting or pushing! Love it.

I have an off the track gelding in training and prior to using this he would buck and be very high strung. After about 4 days of using this he has completely changed, I can now work him with out having the bucks and the high strung end but I still have a horse that is "hot" but just more predictable. Just to make just its the Vita-Calm and not just him relaxing more I took him off of it for a week and he went back to being completely nuts, so there ya have it. I would say if your looking for a calming supplement go for this one it really does work and it also makes their coat look better too

I have been giving my 7 seven year Arabian stallion Vita-Calm for the past six months to help him cope with "no girlfriends" this season due to the economy and not wanting any more babies I cannot sell. He is also wearing a cradle 24/7. I can see a remarkable difference in his stress level when he has his daily ration of Vita-Calm. His coat has turn into a beautiful copper sheen to boot. His bite marks have healed and he doesn't kick out as much as he was prior to Vita-Calm. (BTW: I have another champion stud who could care less about the "girls" since he has now established himself as the alpha stud. )
I just purchased two more 5 lbs. tubs for the rest of the year. Here's hoping next spring we'll all be in better shape $$$ for the sake of our studs!

This really works! You don't need much to see results almost immediately. My mare was getting a little crazy, trying to run off with me when I led her, high strung and hard to manage. Not her usual behavior. I bought this and give her a small dose daily in her feed. She is a new 'mare' and a joy to be around!.
