I used to use Stay Calm on my mare and it worked great however each animal is different and it normally comes down to trial and error

I tried a few when my TB was stabled and ended up with Top Spec. Loved it when I needed it (turn out always the better option if you have it IMHO)

As I understand it magnesium works only if the animal is deficient in it anyway. Which some of course could well be.

My old show mare suffered badly from anxiety and express herself thru excitement or fly bucking on the spot lol we tried every calmer out ther and the best I found was Nupafeed. It has magnesium in it as mentioned above. You give them a maintenance supply in ther feed once a day and then if u r doing anything that may make them a little more busy u can give them extra loads, does your mate sweat alot by any chance? X

Equine America! I love the stuff, the instant carma's are fantastic to.
My second vote would go to Carl Hester's calmer, also pretty fantastic!

I have a small hack / intermidiate srt i have tried every calmer going as she is spooky and can get very fizzy. I have found that most calmers work for a while then they tend to become imune to them the best one I have tried and she had been on for a year now is nuper feed liquid. I saw a real difference in here behaviour. Hope this helps.
