Always Good Results
I've used these with numerous horses, which always liked them, and had good results.
And no waste, no dropped pellets, with the "cookie" form--it's a treat to them. I usually just feed one, only feed two when stressful event like moving the horse is going to happen. I recommend feeding them 1-2 hours in advance.

Great calming cookie
I starting using these 3 months ago for my new Rescue Mare. They help and work great with her mare supplements.

Great results!
I have 5 horses and I admit that for some these are "an acquired taste," however, I have seen good results in all of my horses. Most notable is the effect on my young Belgian cross. Two biscuits every day enables him to stay focused on training, makes him more yielding to my queues (less bullheaded), and he's happier (less buddy-sour) when we hack out alone. Two biscuits every day for my mature, yet high-strung, mare makes her less anxious when we're tacking up and more calm during our warm-ups, which just makes everything else go better and increases her overall happiness. In addition to SmartDigest Ultra, I give my 3 y.o. Lusitano 2+ biscuits daily while he's in full training and coming under saddle, to ensure he is protected from the effects of stress and will remain focused during these life-changing times. Overall I prefer to not use tryptophan for calming (although it is a good amino acid for muscle recovery), but the other ingredients in Kalm wafers (B1, Ashwagandah, magnesium, etc.) are effective for helping my horses be less stressed and make good decisions. And my trainer likes the easy to feed cookie format.

Horse that eats everything wouldn’t eat these
I tried these for the first time about 10 years ago and since they claim to have been new and improved, I tried them again and I got the exact same results I did 10 years ago. Horse doesn’t like them and will only eat them if soaked and mixed with something. Didn’t have any calming effect. Still spooky and nervous.

My mare loves them!
I do believe these help my anxious Morgan mare to calm down some. The day I did not feed - she spooked and spun and I was on the ground! Contrary to what others say about them being hard to feed-- my mare loves them, and will readily take them right out of my hand!

Didn't work
I bought these for my horse that has been getting anxious on trail rides and amped up in the arena and becomes difficult to handle. The recommended dosage was 2 treats and that didn't do anything. I noticed a slight difference with three treats but he decided he didn't like them that much and started turning his nose up to them. Now I just have half a bag of treats he won't eat

Hard ti feed, but works well
Horses don't like the taste. I put a cookie they like in front of it and then they will eat them. They do like calm wafers flavored peppermint. Eat those up easily. Wish you would carry the peppermint flavored calming wafers. My very reactive spooky horse does very well with these. I only use riding 5 and pre horse shoeing.they work well.

so so
As other reviewers noted with their horses, my mare would not eat them out of hand. I had to crumble them up and mix them in her late night feed. She is acting sleep deprived and I was hoping the tryptophan in these would help her relax at night, but I didn't notice any change over the month that she had them.

Horse won't eat them
I had high hopes for this product, especially for the price. The treats are bigger than I expected, and very hard and dry. My horse refuses to eat them. I even tried covering them in molasses (his very favorite thing) but he spit them out and looked at me like I was trying to poison him. He's not usually picky about treats but he certainly made his feelings known on this one. :(

Works quite well!
I bought these about two weeks ago thinking they would help my tense and anxious thoroughbred. I have definitely noticed a difference on the ground, he isn't worried about the little things anymore. He is still tense and anxious undersaddle, but I'm definitely going to wait a bit longer before I make any decisions. The product seemed reasonably priced for the ingredients. My horse is a picky eater and he gobbles these right up!
