Aren't you just a teeny, tiny bit curious about how this horse changed from photo 1 to photo 2, in just three short sessions?
I thought you would be! The horse in the photos is a big, young Quarter Horse mare with a history of abuse, including bad trailer experiences, with some ending in serious injuries. Her response to too much pressure/feeling pressured or fear/fear of pain, is to start a physical "challenge" by pulling, rearing or even charging - if we have to believe previous owners. It took me three short sessions, lots of breathing work ànd the use of some little helpers that I'm about to share with you: They're called Linden blossom, Hop, Rue and Valerian and they all party in the same bottle: Relax Compositum

How does it work?
|
Relax compositum supports the horse during stressful events, like a visit from the farrier or vet or moving to a new location.
It's an herbal tincture, made with plants that have soothing abilities that help the horse to relax during inner turmoil. It's not recommended for long-term use, since the Compositum will only help fight symptoms of the problem It is however, a great tool to use while safely figuring out the roots of the problem. Start by giving your horse or pony a dosage of 20 - 30 drops, two to three times daily. You can easily cover some treats with the tincture, or drop the oil over their feed. *It is not suitable for lactating horses or during pregnancy.

The "Relax Compositum" in action:
🌟Stress-free trailer loading for Lucky in three sessions 🐴🌴
She's had some bad experiences so I'm working with her to get her to load safely and without stress.
🌿I'm using the Relax Compositum from De Groene Os to help the horses "calm down" more quickly. It allows their mind to breathe, open up and actually learn, process AND apply what we are doing.
Lucky is infamous for her ability to shut down mentally and emotionally - due to people abusing her - and just physical work only, will not help break these bad habits and walls down 🔨
For a horse like Lucky, there has to be room for emotional, mental and spiritual support, by creating a low energy/high frequency bubble for us to work in, supported by the powerful, all-natural Relax Compositum tincture 🙏🏽

Day one was all about focusing on being calm and in the present around the trailer. 20 minutes before we started this session, I gave her some treats with drops from the Relax Compositum tincture. I definitely witnessed her emotional state becoming softer after a correction, instead of harder. This offered her more time to take a few breaks and process what we just did. During this session, she loaded safely with two legs in the trailer. We actually worked these sessions with three people (me, my horse-savvy husband and the owner of the mare/ranch) to make sure she has support outside and inside the trailer. It took some practice but after just a few minutes we were perfectly in tune and ready to team up. As soon as two legs inside wasn't that much of a problem anymore, I started asking for a calm back-up. First by lowering her head, then by gently but firmly adding pressure against her chest and releasing as soon as she moved away. I watched closely to see if and when her head moved up even a few inches, to respond by stopping her, petting her and talking to her. Then I asked her to drop her head again and after a few times she backed up nicely. Enough for session one. Day two was a very interesting day. I never focus on getting the horse in the trailer, I rather focus on creating and maintaining a positive flow for the both of us to work in. Where there is room to safely explore and communicate.
Again, this is exactly the spectrum where the Relax Compositum offers support. Just like the day before, I sprinkled the drops over some treats and after 15-20 minutes we headed towards the trailer. We worked a lot on backing out (with still just two legs in). She panicked as soon as her ears hit the roof/walls, so in hindsight it was definitely a good call to not load her with all four legs already. We worked on this, the same way we did during the first session and ended when she started to walk into the trailer herself! Day three was the day where she finally - and safely! - loaded with all four legs.
We picked up where we'd left off the day before, and so did the mare. She again offered to walk into the trailer herself. We praised and cheered her on and built from that. It didn't take long for her to - one time, literally - run inside and happily eat her hay and apples. Since we had lots of time left, we turned on the engine of the truck, closed the doors/window and ALL was fine.

So, as you probably can tell I am a HUGE fan of this supplement. I am a true "plant-power hippie" and always looking for the best way to support the wellbeing of the horses that are under my care.
The Relax Compositum is available online!!!! Although, since it's a Dutch company with a Dutch website, I understand if you're having difficulties.
That's why I'm making this EASY by letting you know that you can simply send me an email with your order and I will take care of the rest.
