Calming Supplements, 8 oz

Made from 100% raspberry leaf (Rubus Idaus), this horse calming supplement is fed at one scoop a day. That rate turns the 8 oz tub into a 60-day supply, and for the first ten days the loading dose is two scoops daily. Mare Magic packs the powder for use with farming and horse care equipment.

What the raspberry leaf product contains and how it is fed

The label lists a single active ingredient, raspberry leaf, and Mare Magic sells it in two tub sizes. The 8 oz tub covers 60 days for one horse at the daily rate; the 32 oz tub covers 240 days for one horse or 60 days for four horses. The powder weighs 0.264 kilograms per package and the tub measures 27.5 cm high, 6.8 cm long and 17.5 cm wide.

Six reviewers mention that the powder is easy to feed and readily eaten, three describe it as a natural product, two note a pleasant smell and two find it easy to use.

Which horses the tub is and is not meant for

The 8 oz tub suits a single horse on the one-scoop daily rate, and it carries 60 days of powder at that amount. Mares and geldings can both be fed from it, so a gelding on the yard is not a reason to choose a different product. Safety for pregnant animals or breeding stock has not been established, and those animals fall outside the stated use.

The directions build in year-round feeding, since heat cycles continue throughout the year. A buyer feeding four horses at the daily rate would need the 32 oz tub to cover 60 days.

How much to give and when

The daily amount is one scoop, given once a day. For the first ten days the rate is two scoops a day, and on the day of an activity an extra scoop can be fed alongside the usual one. Year-round use is what the directions call for.
