Finding the right calming paste for your horse can be a struggle. Hunters or jumper, Warmbloods or Thoroughbreds–all horses have different needs, just like humans. The key to finding the perfect calming solution starts with doing your homework and knowing your horse!
Cavalor offers two calming pastes that might look similar on the surface but differ in the formula. Take It Easy and Take It Easy Forte both provide your horse with stress relief, yet have alternate ways of soothing and refocusing. Read on to learn more about each of Cavalor’s calming pastes!
Take It Easy
Help ease your horse’s stress with Take it Easy calming paste. The relatively high dose of tryptophan in this oral paste works quickly and easily to create a calming effect for horses. It is useful during stressful situations such as transport, competition, and veterinary visits by promoting focus and relaxation without sedating the horse. The dosage can also be adjusted to your horse’s needs.
Recommended use: Administer before stressful situations to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Potent formula: A high dose of L-tryptophan stimulates serotonin, an anti-stress hormone naturally produced by the body.
Key ingredients: In addition to L-tryptophan, this calming supplement contains vitamin B1 to support adrenal glands, and magnesium to provide soothing effect and help muscles relax.
Take It Easy Forte
Take It Easy Forte is a calming paste supplement that provides extra-strong stress relief for high-strung horses. This potent supplement reduces anxiety and the impact of stress factors while improving concentration. In addition to L-tryptophan, vitamin B1, and magnesium, this product contains essential oils to further address the effects of stress. These essential oils also aid breathing and circulation, supporting your horse’s general wellbeing. Ideal for use right before high-stress events such as competitions and transport.
Naturally effective: Take It Easy Forte contains a blend of essential oils, including Humulus Lupulus, Citrus Reticulata blanco, Cananga Odorata, Juniperus Mexicana, and Vetiveria Zizanoides. This synergistic blend helps address a wide variety of needs for different horses.
Other key ingredients: Like Take It Easy, the Forte blend also contains L-tryptophan, vitamin B1, and magnesium to ensure quick and effective stress relief and relaxation.
When to use: Take It Easy Forte is a great option to use for easily excited horses right before high-stress events such as competition or travel. The dosage can also be tailored to your horse’s needs for that event.
