HerbaNerve is a calming powder for horses that get tense, sharp or distracted — at a competition, in the float, or confined to a stable. The point of the formula is to support focus without flattening the horse, so it is aimed at the anxious performer rather than at sedation. A genuinely dangerous horse, or one whose behaviour changed suddenly, has a training or pain problem that a supplement will not fix.
Six sizes from a 50g sachet to a 3kg bucket — the feeding rate is very low, so even the 250g pouch lasts a 500kg horse around 100 days. If the tension is metabolic rather than temperamental, EquiMetaBalance may be the better starting point.
Benefits
- Focus without dulling — formulated to support normal nerve function and focus rather than sedate.
- Competition safe — the manufacturer states it is safe for use in competition.
- Very low rate — 2.5g a day for a 500kg horse, so packs last a long time.
- Daily or as needed — suitable for daily use or just for travel, competition and stable confinement.
- Trial size — the 50g sachet covers around three weeks before you commit to a pouch.
