Owning a mare often involves a rollercoaster of emotions – for both the mare and the owner! A mare’s mood swings are typically accompanied by irritability, muscular tension, erratic behaviour patterns, and a generally uncooperative attitude. This quintessential “mare-ish” behaviour can cause disruptions to training and competition schedules, as some mares become reactive, hard to handle, or unfocused in their work.
Chasteberry has a long traditional history of use to help balance behaviour fluctuations in mares. Supplementation with chasteberry can help improve the mare’s mood, aiding relaxation and cooperation.
