Product Overview
Which horses benefit from calming support?
Supplements that aid in calming are an ideal starting point for any horse that is excessively nervous, edgy, reactive, unconfident, or spooky. That’s because the vitamins and minerals these products offer help smooth out deficiencies in the diet that can interfere with proper nervous system function.
Additionally, if you compete in rated horse shows, supplements with herb free formulation may be your best option. Unlike herbal calming supplements that often include ingredients that are prohibited by many competitive organizations, nutrient-based supplements generally focus on providing key nutrients like tryptophan, magnesium and B-vitamins that are an important part of your horse’s diet. Of course, we always recommend checking the rule books for any organizations under which you compete to confirm their individual rules and that these ingredients are appropriate.

Amazing Supplement
My horse was on a different calming supplement and didn’t notice much of a difference. Customer service suggested I try the Smart Calm and he has been amazing. He is more focused yet still his goofy self.

Gelding stopped cribbing!
Unexpectedly, our gelding hasn't been cribbing since going on this supplement. He's cribbed for years, on everything he could get a hold of. But we've noticed in recent week he hasn't been cribbing much or at all since going on this supplement.

Perfect for a senior horse with anxiety
My senior horse started to have vision issues and was no longer mentally comfortable being turned out alone or beyond view of the main herd on the property. It wasn't safe for him to be out with the main herd so it was find a calming supplement/med or nothing. He exhibited symptoms of constant pacing, both trotting and walking, constant calling, and so on. He was too anxious to eat. On recommendation of the vet I looked for a calming supplement and this one ticked the boxes on the list the vet gave me. Within the first few days of being on the supplement he was back to himself and much, much calmer and happier. It provided a crucial quality of life improvement.

Makes the Edge Manageable
I give my horse SmartCalm Ultra paste at horse shows &, while it helped immensely, my horse was still very tense at shows & spooky at home. After a particularly tense horse show at the end of January, I came home & bought the pellets. Ironically, she seemed even spookier the first week I had her on the daily pellets. We just went to a horse show at the end of March, about 2 months later, & she was the most ridable she had ever been, with the daily pellet & the paste just for the 3 days of the show. I had been thinking of taking her off the daily pellet over the summer when I'm not showing, but my trainer made a comment on what would have otherwise been a 'spooky' day at home that my horse was much braver, so maybe I should just keep her on it!

It works
Long story short - my horse had a bad reaction to a medication and then had a pasture accident that landed him in stall rest for 8 months. This horse is a senior and was purchased for his calm nature, but never seemed quite settled after the medication change, and it got worse with the stall rest. I assumed that the "banned" herbs were banned because they were too effective, so I was using a supplement with valerian. Poor guy was mostly fine with me, but wouldn't let my trainer close and would be spooky in his stall randomly. I'm not sure why I switched to this, but in the past 6 months as he has gone off the other and onto this one, he is back to his old self. People can pet my horse again. He isn't tense in the "scary end" of the arena. He is less of a weirdo in his stall and we see a lot less of the whites of his eyes.

Horse would not eat it
My horse eats anything, but would not eat this supplement. Tried adding beet pulp. He would not eat this. Did not want to add anything with sugar as he is on a diet.

Works well
I started my OTTB on SmartCalm Ultra a few months ago. He’s much calmer and less reactive. Don’t expect your horse to act sedated or have a complete 180 change in behavior - this supplement doesn’t do that. What it does do, though, is keep my horse more relaxed and focused. When he does spook it’s not as big of a deal as it used to be.

Nice product. It does take 2-4 weeks to fully kick in. It has really helped our new guy settle in his new barn nicely.

Change in ingredients?
My horse won't touch this anymore! Thinking that something changed? Or the production line wasn't cleaned properly?

I've been using this product for a little over a month now and I haven't seen a huge change yet. I think next season I'm going to try a different product. My horse will eat just about anything but he turns his nose up when I feed him this.

Great product
I bought this a month ago and it has worked wonders on my OTTB! He is much more at ease during training sessions so much so that he will take a nap while tied up now! Great supplement to take the edge off!

Seems to make a difference!
I use this for my 25 yr old appendix QH who already runs hot, but lately seems senile and LOCO. After one month this seemed to take the edge off and two months later he is legit quiet and calm. Love it!

Beware L-Tryptophan
Had my horse on this about 3 weeks and noticed he was getting increasingly excitable - unfortunately I didn’t put it together that it could be the supplement until the one day he completely came apart. I’d remembered some posts about L-Tryptophan making some horses very hot and immediate took him off it, and put him back on straight magnesium. He’s back to normal now, where he will look and occasionally have a small spook but nothing near the way he became completely unglued on this supplement. I don’t think L-Tryptophan is a good idea for every horse. Definitely research before buying this and take them off if they start getting worse.

These seem to level out my young warmblood mare.
This supplement appears to help my mare use her brain better and be a bit less reactive.

Horse wouldn't go near it
Had high hopes for it, but the first time I put in my mare's feed she wouldn't eat her grain. When I opened the bag it smelled like urine. Haven't tried it again so there's a quick $36 lost.

Huge difference!
My horse has been on this supplement for almost three months and the results have been amazing. I’ve previously tried the different calming pastes from other companies and they always stressed me out trying to guess when to give it and then the results were always disappointing. Smartpak’s calming supplement has been amazing because not only quieted my horse down and been less stressful for me but my horse (who may be THE pickiest eater) actually doesn’t mind the flavor. Thank you Smartpak!

Picky eater did not approve
Thought I'd try my older but spry gelding on this to take the edge off, but he won't touch his food with these mixed in (even tried doing a drizzle of molasses to entice him). Unfortunately disappointed.
