Behavioural challenges can be common in horses, including problems in the stable, field, during work/exercise, or during transport. Understanding the specific needs of horses, including social contact with other horses and access to outdoor space is vital, and assessment of whether these needs are being met, is important. These are the main things to look out for in horses: • Kicking • Pawing • Head shaking • Stereotypic behaviours • Tail swishing • Aggression • Bucking • Weaving • Cribbing/wood chewing • Wind sucking

CALMEX® EQUINE provides nutritional support for horses that have difficulty maintaining calm, normal composure during stressful or unfamiliar situations. It is designed to support calmness, relaxation and concentration without preventing the horse from remaining alert and responsive. This may be particularly helpful when a horse needs to travel, compete, adapt to a new environment or cope with changes in its normal routine. CALMEX® EQUINE can also be used alongside appropriate training and environmental management for horses requiring ongoing behavioural support. It may be given for short-, medium- or long-term periods, according to the horse’s individual needs and veterinary advice.

CALMEX® EQUINE supports calm behaviour through a premium blend of ingredients that work together. The formulation is non-sedating, so your horse stays responsive and able to perform. • L-Tryptophan An essential amino acid and nutritional precursor involved in the production neurotransmitters associated with normal mood and behaviour. • Magnesium An essential mineral that supports normal nerve transmission and muscle function. • B vitamins A group of vitamins with important roles in normal nervous system function and cellular energy metabolism. There are lots of joint supplements available, however it is important to trust your veterinary surgeon’s advice on which one is right for your pet and why. At VetPlus, animals deserve the best. This is why we always produce the best products for the pet, from the best possible ingredients in our state-of-the-art UK facility.

Alongside a product like CALMEX® EQUINE, it is important to ensure that you make other appropriate changes, to help your horse. Horses are animals that require training, to ensure they can be handled well, both when being stabled, during work/exercise, during transport and when outside grazing. Alongside behavioural training and supplements like CALMEX® EQUINE, there are additional options to help. In more severe situations, your vet may recommend medications to help with behavioural challenges.
