• Horse has sudden anxiety: Fear of the tracks, fear of a particular object, fear of a particular person, or other horses, fear of the trailer

How should the First Aid remedy for horses be used?

The First Aid remedy for horses should be used in situations where emotions such as stress or anxiety take the upper hand. When that’s the case, you give four drops directly on the tongue, or on something sweet like a sugar cube, or rub them on their nose. This should be repeated every 5 to 10 minutes, until the symptoms of anxiety and stress have gone. There is no danger of over dosage.
If your horse is becoming ill, then it will also help to give 6 x 4 drops a day. This will help your horse to regenerate, and heal faster.

How long should the First Aid remedy for horses be administered?

You should give the First Aid remedy for horses after a major event or moments of intense anxiety or fear. If you can predict such a moment (your horse is participating a game for example), then you can start giving the First Aid remedy for horses before the situation has developed. You can administer the First Aid remedy for horses straight after an event, and continue this for a few days.

If the fear or anxiety is persistent, or your horse remains ill for longer than a week while you have been giving them the First Aid remedy for horses, then there might be a deeper root to the problem.

When composing this type of mix, the characteristics and needs of your horse as an individual are taken into account, and this way, deeper causes of anxiety, stress or illness are also treated, allowing your horse to feel better again.
