Calming Supplements for Horses: Support for a Relaxed, Focused Horse | Emmers Equestrian
Some horses get tense when travelling, at shows, during clipping, or simply in a new environment. Calming supplements can help support a relaxed, settled mood, so your horse stays focused on you instead of on everything around it. Our range includes supplements for daily support as well as fast-acting options for specific moments, from brands such as Cavalor, TRM, Equine America, NAF, Horse First, Foran, VetGen and our own Emmers line.
You’ll find calming supplements in three forms: powders to mix into the daily feed, pastes in handy syringes for a quick dose before a show, trip, or vet visit, and liquids that are easy to add to feed. Magnesium-based products, such as Emmers Magnesium and Emmers Mag Zen, are a popular choice for horses that need ongoing support. Combine this collection with our other supplements, such as electrolytes for hard-working horses or digestion support.

Frequently asked questions
When should I use a calming supplement for my horse?
Calming supplements can help horses that get tense or distracted during travel, competitions, clipping, farrier or vet visits, or changes in routine. Some horses benefit from daily support, others only need a dose before a specific situation.
What’s the difference between a calming paste and a powder?
Pastes are designed for short-term use and are given straight into the mouth before a stressful moment, such as a show or transport. Powders and liquids are mixed into the feed and are usually meant for daily, longer-term support.
Can I use calming supplements in competition?
Not every calming product is allowed in competition. Always check the product information and the rules of your federation (for example the FEI) before competing, and respect any withdrawal times. If in doubt, ask your vet.
How long does it take for a calming supplement to work?
It depends on the product. Pastes are meant to work within a short time before the event, while daily feed supplements usually need a few days to a few weeks of consistent use. Always follow the dosing instructions on the packaging.
