This product works and seems to take the edge off my spirited horse before competitions, without sapping his energy. However, he frequently leaves a good portion of the powder in his grain bucket. Wish this came in pellets! That's why it is not a 5-star rating.

Good product; definitely has a calming effect but doesnt seem to slow them down. However, horses dont do well with powder -- even in grain. Wish you sold Vita-Calm in Pellets.
