"My Arabian mare age 28 has always had a trailering issue... Start adding the CALM just as soon as I received it to her grain before the event. I was very pleased with the results. She trailered easier than usual. She wasn’t so excited and loaded fairly quick. She also wasn’t nervous and stressed..."
