Many competition horses perform below their potential due to varying levels of stress. Cavalor Calm can be the help needed to prevent symptoms associated with stress.
Many riders may recognize that their horse performs exceptionally well in training but struggles at competitions. In many cases, this can be linked to stress and nervousness that can arise during transport, in new environments, and due to distractions at the competition venue. The result is often a lack of the usual response, and the horse may act unexpectedly. This is particularly common in younger or less experienced horses, as they experience higher stress levels when not accustomed to handling such situations. Cavalor Calm is an excellent supplement in such situations, helping the horse find balance and providing a calming effect. This effect is further enhanced when the rider or handler also uses calming techniques.
This supplement is based on herbs that reduce stress levels without causing the horse to respond poorly. It contains no banned substances and has no negative effects on the liver or kidneys.
Cavalor Calm is beneficial and has shown good results in the following situations:
- Horses that are nervous and easily frightened during competition
- Horses with a too spirited temperament during training
- Horses that are susceptible to stress
- More nervous stallions, especially in competitions
It's essential to note that Calm is primarily developed for horses with a stressed and easily frightened behavior and may not be as suitable for chronically nervous horses.
Dosage
The dosage for Calm is more variable than for many other supplements and should be given and adjusted according to the horse's behavior and response to the supplement. We recommend a starting dose of 45g (3 scoops) and that you begin giving it 2-3 days before a stressful situation you are aware of.
Mix it with the horse's feed and adjust the dose as needed, gradually reducing it later on.
Questions and Answers about Cavalor Calm
Can I give Calm continuously?
We recommend that, within each 30-day period, there are at least 10 consecutive days during which the horse does not receive it. This is because horses can become accustomed to it, and the effect will diminish. The body becomes used to the active ingredients.
Cavalor has several calming products. How do I know if I should use Calm and not SoZen or Take It Easy?
Calm is primarily developed for horses that are more easily frightened. Studies also show that it has a positive effect on nervous stallions.
