so far so good
I'm trying this for my extremely herdbound horse, to get him out on the trail by himself. I used it for a few days before hitting the trail, starting on a Tuesday. I don't know if it was the Independence or not, but by Saturday, my horse took me out on trail without a buddy for the first time ever. It could be other training techniques I've been trying, too, but I think it was a combination of all of the above. Even last night, I saw him grazing off by himself while the whole herd was far away, which he never does. I like the results from Confidence EQ, but it's much more expensive, and ever so slightly messy. Independence is so reasonably priced, I could use it every day, indefinitely. I only wish they made this particular blend in a 4 oz. size. I just fill the dropper about halfway, pop it into the side of his mouth and squeeze, and he licks and doesn't mind it a bit! It's certainly worth trying, because I think I'm seeing positive results! The less concerned a horse is with his herd, the more connected he'll be with you.
