Based on magnesium and group B vitamins, they give your horse time to breath and realise that the trauma is not so threatening. Horse calmers are not sedatives, but can make life easier on the horse and allow it to perform to its maximum ability without losing that spark of individuality or presence. Horses on a calmer such as RelaxMe cope well in situations that may be stressful for them, such as competitions, training or a change in environment. Most calmers are given daily and increased prior to competition to increase their beneficial effect. Calmers in syringe form such as RelaxMeNOW can be especially useful when the feeding regime is altered to permit travelling, competition times, etc.
