This is our school horse, Rieke, who had been poorly treated by her previous owner and was very nervous and fearful.  She became anxious when we wanted to clean or saddle her.  Similarly, she became easily stressed and had a hectic pace when riding.

“I can honestly say that your product Compose saved us.

Two weeks ago, I purchased a new horse, a 7 years old Connemara gelding called John. I bought John from a commercial training stable. The stable sold the horse because of his extreme nervousness. This meant that his training would have taken much longer than planned and he had only just been broken in. The stable owner had been very patient and had gone to great lengths with him to try to train him but sadly to no avail. An auction in Ireland, a journey on a ship and two changes of stables all within one week, contributed to John being highly nervous. It was no longer possible to continue with the training in his present condition.

Mariah is the pony, and Ebony is the TN Walking horse. Both are seniors, have Cushing’s, Insulin Resistance, and are very afraid of fireworks. Last year we got a supplement to calm them, but it did not help. They were pacing and breathing heavily. It was terrifying to watch. Continue reading “Judy L.”

This is me with my friend’s 10 year old gelding who has had issues for some time with visits from the dentist.

He would use his size and weight to put his head in the air or just move people around. He had previously been sedated by the vet to complete the task, (which was upsetting for him and the owner when he was coming round) or let down by various dentists, from either an overpowering point or doing a partial job then never to return. It had therefore been a while since they were done properly. Continue reading “Pete D.”

We put one of our lesson horses on Compose that gets nervous in the stall. He would dance around and completely destroy his stall each day. In addition, he made the beginning riding students a little nervous. We decided to give the supplement a chance and see if it helped to calm him down some. Continue reading “Stephanie K.”

As you know I own three lovely Shetland Ponies. I only used Compose when transporting them and on another occasion for a visit to the vet for a vaccination. All went very well.

Recently, the vet came to do their teeth. Normally, this visit ends up with an upset vet, stressed out ponies and an exhausted me!

However, on this occasion I decided to give each pony the recommended amount of COMPOSE, one and half hours before the planned treatment. I lead them over to the main stable yard where they have never been before. Usually, I keep the ponies 24/7 out on a field. They were well behaved and calm during the journey. Amazingly, even the road traffic and a flock of loud calling guinea fowls running around did not disturb them. Continue reading “Heidi”

Horse Osteopath

Last Friday I moved to another stable with my 14 year old Hanoverian gelding. Prior to the journey I gave my horse Compose. I was astonished by the effect which it had on my horse and hardly recognized him. He stepped into the trailer totally at ease, as if he did it every weekend; his last trailer trip was almost three years ago. Unloading was no issue either, he behaved like a pro – previously he would storm out backwards from the trailer. On arrival he surveyed his new surroundings and was really laid back. This is very unusual for him because he is normally extremely excitable and nervous. Continue reading “Nicole R.”

Horse Trainer

Dear Life Data,

I spoke with Susan Holt with life data on the phone. I had a story to share with her of an Arabian gelding that’s here at my facility for training. I am a natural horse trainer.

Well, when he arrived from a breeder in Ohio, he was a wreck. He came on Friday and by Sunday I had the vet out here. Continue reading “Deborah G.”
