How to give it
Directions for use
Administer entire contents of syringe in horse's mouth 1–2 hours before stressful events.
- 1 syringe 10 g, the whole syringe
- 1–2 hours before a stressful event
- By mouth nothing goes in the feed
A few habits that make it easier
None of them change the directions.
-
Count back from the event.
If you load at 2:00, the syringe goes in between 12:00 and 1:00. On a busy show day, set an alarm on your phone.
-
Give it on an empty mouth.
Wait until your horse has swallowed any hay, slide the tip in at the corner of the mouth where there are no teeth, and push the plunger all the way. Keep the head up for a few seconds while your horse swallows.
-
Try one at home first.
Give a syringe on a quiet day, so you know how your horse handles it before you count on it at an event.
-
Pack spares.
Keep a couple in the trailer's tack box or your show bag.
For a young, older or unwell horse, or a horse on other supplements or medication, check with your veterinarian before you start.

Questions about the gel
Is this a calming paste or a calming gel?
Both names describe the same thing. The label calls it a calming gel; plenty of horse owners call anything that comes in an oral syringe a paste. Either way, you get a 10 g single-dose syringe that you empty into your horse's mouth.
Can I give half a syringe?
The directions call for the entire contents of the syringe. If you're weighing a different amount for a pony or a small horse, ask your veterinarian first.
Can I give it to a mare in foal?
The label cautions: "Safe use in pregnant or breeding animals has not been proven." Speak to your veterinarian before giving it to a broodmare, a mare in foal or a breeding stallion.
Can I use it at a show or at the track?
The syringe label says show safe. Always check the current rules of your governing body before competition. Racing jurisdictions also limit what a horse can be given in the hours before a race, so read the rules where you race before you give anything on race day.
Which pack should I buy?
Start with the 3-pack if you're trying it out or need it a few times a season. A 12-pack covers a season of weekend shows or a small string. The 25-pack suits a barn or trainer giving it to several horses.
