For some horse owners, owning a ‘excitable or nervous’ horse or pony can have a huge impact on what they can and cannot do with their horses.

Some horses have different triggers, for some it will be arriving at a show ground or the competition atmosphere that pushes them over the edge, whilst for others it can be simply seeing horses in the distance out hacking. Whatever the cause, nervousness, wariness, excitability, apprehension and irritability can be detrimental to the horses’ performance under saddle and lead to other health issues including muscle tremors and tying up.

Horses and ponies that display any of these characteristics on a long term basis are likely to have a magnesium deficiency. Horses have a limited ability to store magnesium and any behavioural problems arising from such a deficiency are likely to manifest themselves quite quickly. Magnesium is low in feed and grazing and the more stressed a horse or pony becomes, the more they sweat, and any reserve of magnesium is lost through the sweating process, which is why it is not only important to feed magnesium but important to feed the right type.

Pro-Mag Calm Liquid and Powder.

These compounds contain 2 forms of magnesium.The first compound is a very small amino acid that when dissolved, is readily absorbed through the intestine wall and quickly builds up magnesium in the body for a rapid calming effect. The second compound, Magnesium Aspartate is regarded as the Aston Martin of Magnesium salts. It is quickly absorbed and will keep magnesium levels topped up so horses and ponies will stay and remain calm on a long term basis.

These 2 compounds have been chosen over other traditional forms of magnesium such as sulphate, Calcium magnesite and Magnesium oxide because they deliver 12mg of magnesium per feed which is the most a horse can store at a quicker absorption rate.

Both products contain up to 50 days supply
