Relaxes my OTTB like nothing else I’ve ever tried.
I have been using this product for 5+ years and it is the only thing I have found that relaxes my thoroughbred mare. She was frequently anxious & difficult to control when I first adopted her - especially when she went into season. However, when I use 1&1/2 scoops a day and she becomes the sweet, calm companion I knew she could be. It contains Aloe vera which helps to calm her nervous thoroughbred stomach - an added benefit I appreciate a lot!! I’m ever so grateful for this fine product & I highly recommend it to anyone who’s OTTB is a smart, fast, high-strung “nervous Nellie”.

Great for my OTTB's winter sillies.
I've tried several calming supplements every winter to help keep my 10-year-old OTTB in a working frame of mind, and SmartTranquility is the first one I've found to actually make a difference. We went from bucking and rearing on the cross-ties and needing a 20-minute lunge before every ride (vet, chiropractor, and farrier all agree he's just an energetic boy who needs to learn how to express himself better), to a horse that I can lunge quietly with minimal antics and just a little bit of shuffling on the cross ties.
I won't pretend that these magically "fixed" my horse because ultimately, I know that what he really needed was consistency in our winter program and more exercise. But this supplement helped him be willing to cooperate and be exercised and exercise with me instead of his energy fighting against me constantly. He now goes on this every winter from December-May.

Did not work for me
To start off, I tried this because I have an anxious cribber and was hoping it would help him relax if he’s stressed. He is also anxious under saddle. I unfortunately did not see any change to his behavior or demeanor while using this supplement and will be canceling it. Although it didn’t work for my 22 year old cribbed doesn’t mean it won’t work on a more mild case.

This works!
My 5yr old OTT has been on this for 5 wks; she was high strung and difficult to get her to focus. Then she required 3 wks stall rest for a minor injury; I needed something! So I consulted with my vet and agreed to try this. Within 24 hrs, she was calmer and pleasant. Thanks Smart Pak!

Works well
I bought this and used for about 2mo for my 7yo warmblood mare who is just a little anxious at all times. She's good under saddle but when she's left with her own thoughts she paces and doesn't settle. This takes the edge off and she seems more relaxed throughout the day. When I stopped using this, she want back to her old behaviors. This is one of the best calming supplements I have used.

This Stuff Works
After a couple months with a new horse who just would not settle down and constantly seemed anxious to the point it was borderline dangerous, I wanted to try a calming supplement just to help ease his anxiety. I didn't expect to see the edge notably taken off within a matter of days on this supplement. After a few weeks, he was so much more relaxed, and he's consistently been much happier and easier to work with while on it. It was so obviously effective for him, my barn manager ended up starting her mare on it too.

Probably great for more "normal" horses!
I am nearing the end of a 60 day/5 lb. bag. My picky eater (she doesn't like carrots or apples!) isn't crazy about the taste, but I think she eats most of it (she spills a lot of her food, mostly because she is too distracted by any- and every-thing around her). I feed it in the evening because she is more likely to finish that meal than her morning feed. So far she seems to still spook as frequently as before - but she is calmer about being approached (to pet, catch in the field, etc.). Perhaps w/o this supplement she would be even worse; it's hard to tell. I plan to give it another 60 days to see if there are more visible/noticeable positive changes.

Very thankful!
My Mare has been on this supplement for 5 weeks and I couldn’t be more pleased!
My mare can be spooky and tense while ridden and in hand as well as having some skin “allergies” which I have always attributed to her state of mind as well as environmental. I am happy to report that, although she is still in fact a horse, this product has taken the edge off of her agitation and allowed her to have a stable, more relaxed, frame of mind. Her skin has also been free of irritation. She is remarkably different in that she is able to focus on the task at hand in a fluid, relaxed body with zero changes in her good energy. She is simply happier. Thank you smartpak!

Massive difference for my highly anxious OTTB
I just started my 5yo highly anxious OTTB mare on this the other day and wasn't expecting it to kick in for a little while still, but man... Usually she can't stop dancing around in the crossties when I'm grooming her, but she only sidestepped a couple of times tonight. Otherwise she didn't move a hoof. She even licked and chewed (a sign of relaxation in horses) a few times in the crossties, which is huge for her. Normally the crossties make her anxious.
In the past, she's also gone a bit nuts when another horse whinnies nearby. I can't get her to concentrate on anything else when this happens, and she's reared up on me a few times because her anxiety level has been so high. It happened again tonight, but other than pricking her ears and looking very interested for a minute, she was fine.
I let her loose in the indoor for a few minutes, where she galloped around and kicked up her heels, but I was able to calm her back down in just a couple of minutes. Normally she stays in a high anxiety state for a long while after something like that.
I hoped that putting her on a supplement like this would make a difference for her, but I wasn't expecting it to be by such a noticeable amount so quickly! The only real downside with this is that it's not competition legal. I don't plan to compete with her, but if I ever change my mind then I'll have to find something else that works this well for her.

Giving this to my ADHD quarter horse
I have an extremely fidgety and easily distracted 12 year old quarter horse. My trainer recommended this product. I have been feeding this since late September 2021. Wow what a difference he can now stand still while tied. He can go out and trail ride quietly without panicking at every noise. He is more curious to learn new things and listen to me. It has really helped him!!

This has been a life saver.
Easy (24) lost his soul mate Stormy (26) this past spring. Immediately he was distraught, always on hyper alert and looking behind him. It was unsafe to have my 4 year old grandson around him. I didn’t want to hear Tranquity would take 2-3 months to see the full effects. . We began to see a slight calming about 2-3 weeks. Around 2 months there was a noticeable difference. He wasn’t so skittish. Recently we noticed signs that he had been dying down and not having to stand on alert, because he is the last one living out of four.

Calming without loss of energy
Tried this on a referral from a stablemate who uses it. Just calms & focuses without any loss of energy. Better focus.

My Favorite Nervous System Support Supplement!
I have used this supplement with a couple different horses over the years and for various reasons. My horses have loved the taste and I've had no issues at all getting them to eat it. Smart Tranqulity is the most comprehensive nervous system support supplement I've seen out there. I have used it for stall rest/injury as well as my new horse who was really overreactive. It's taken him down a few notches so that he can learn better coping mechanisms. They never seemed sedated, just relaxed and able to think and process!

Made my not Mareish mare Mareish!
I had high hopes for this product but it made my mare go into heat (which she hasn’t for 10 years that I could tell), started getting more nervous, and shrill screaming. The horse is nervous but not Mareish at all normally. She went back to normal within a few days of stopping.

Works great!
My horse is a weaver & I knew that before getting him so as soon as he was mine I put an order in for this. He has been on it for roughly 6 months now & its been at least 2-3 months since I have seen him weaving, even when he is in his stall at meal times. I saw results within 2 weeks with the amount of time he would weave each day start decreasing. He was the type that would weave for hours a day even when he was turned out 24/7 & only coming in to eat then go back out.

Would not eat it
I put this in a little sweet feed and my boy would not touch it after the first couple eager bites. He normally takes his other supplements just fine but did not like this one. Without it, he gobbled his feed. He's not usually a picky eater either. I was really hoping to find out if it would calm him, but apparently intense dressage work is the key to calming him by getting him focused. In doing anything else, he can be excitable, which is why I wanted to try a calming supplement.

Did nothing for my mare.
My mare has been on this supplement for a month as I've been trying to help take the edge off during training. She can be a little reactive. This supplement has done absolutely nothing. I'm trying to decide if I should double the dose, but at one pak a day, it had no effect.

Wonderful Product
Wonderful product for those nervous horses who need a little bit more than everyone else. I used it to calm a crazed mare before getting her started on ReguMate and I noticed results the first day I gave it to her.

Helped my anxious gelding
My gelding has been on restricted exercise due to a tendon injury and has started spooking/bolting/bucking as well as constantly chomping on his bit and being antsy in cross ties. This has made such a huge difference— he’s acting like his normal self. I’m glad it’s in pellet form, makes it easy to give without adding grain. He’s a picky eater but loves it.

Worth a shot
Sadly, this didn't make a difference for my mare. I gave it a try knowing it was a long shot as my mare is rather difficult. I tried it for three months and saw no difference. On the plus side, my very picky mare was happy to eat this when it was mixed with her grain. No-fault of the supplement, just a horse with complex issues.

Very helpful
I have a warm blood who is very jumpy and can be dangerous at times. With this supplement he has lost the constant fear and is not neat as jumpy as he was. I can even take him out of the arena and on trails now. This supplement is a game changer.

Works Fantastic!
I bought this a couple of months ago hoping that it would work on my very spooky horse. It seemed to work very well but I was still questioning it a little bit. However, I ran out of this a couple of weeks ago and my horse was crazy all over again. Just started him on it again about a week ago and he is now back to his go-lucky self. I definitely think this helps take the edge off of him, it is not too strong that he seems sedated.

Happier and Relaxed Horse!
My horse, Manny, has been on SmartPaks Smart Tranquility for a month. Before Smart Tranquility he was nervous and jumpy during our rides and training to a point where I had to do everything I could to just make him relax rather than reinforcing training techniques.
After a vet visit and ruling out any physical maladies that may be causing this behavior I started looking for a relaxing supplement. I went with Smart Tranquility because of all the natural ingredients listed and thought if it had an affect it would be a mild one.
He's been sooooo much better!!! He's learning more, getting braver, he's showing a more goofy side to his personality that wasn't there before, he's just all over happier.
Our rides, groundwork, and training have advanced and improved all because we're not spending so much time just trying to relax. Thank you SmartPak!

This is helping to take the edge off !
So glad we looked for something to just take the edge off. New horse Dudley, is just to reactive to change of weather or a trip. This old rider doesn’t need that! He is focusing on me better and whatever he imagines outside of the arena. I am shooting for no bucks!

I am about 5 weeks into this supplement. It is hard to say if it is working, but my horse is eating it no problem and doesn't seem more edgy then before he started it.

Great for grumpy geldings
My two geldings are on this. One for biting the other over the fence and literally leaving marks/drawing blood. The other needed something to take the edge off. Has worked great for both. No issues with palatablity. Thanks for such a great supplement.

My horse wouldn’t eat it.
I can’t say whether or not this product works as my horse wouldn’t touch the stuff. She’s not a fussy mare and has no problem with other supplements in her food, but she’d walk away from her grain with this stuff in it. It has a very strong smell so was difficult to mask. However I’ll give smart pak 5 stars for refunding my money and allowing me to choose a different product.
