Seemed to work
I used this to help my mare, who was recovering from an injury, transition from stall rest to being in a paddock by herself. She kept trying to run and buck whenever out of the stall, which could have caused reinjury, but she was much calmer with this and therefore able to continue to heal while getting to go outside and to get light exercise. It seemed expensive but worth it, and I was glad it is made from natural ingredients.

Absolute Game Changer!
I bought this om the recommendation of trainer as my OTTB was in straight up winter mode. Spicy, spooky and everything in between. After a full vetting to ensure nothing medically was going on we gave it a try. He is relaxed, focused and content. This is a real game changer!! Pricey but worth it!

So thankful for this product
I bought this for my move from CA to CO with my gelding who is typically very anxious in the trailer. The last time I trailered him he was calling out, drenched in sweat, and extremely anxious the entire ride. My vet recommended this product and wow I was amazed at how calm my horse was during our move. No sweat, no thrashing, only called out one or two times leaving the property. He was very calm and relaxed just eating his hay. Also loved that he showed no signs of sedation, still bright and alert. I don’t know if it was 100% due to this product but I did not change anything else from our last trailer ride, and he showed the same demeanor both days of our trip. Worth every penny to me.

Excellent Product!
I have used this product when I take my horse to shows and it has made a significant improvement in reducing his anxiety and stress and helping him stay calm in a new environment!

Foxhunting game-changer
I purchased this to help my young horses push through training setbacks and it helped them to focus and not trigger a fight or flight response. However, I also just tried it with my hunt mount and found that it made a huge difference in her during the first 10 minutes after casting the hounds and throughout the hunt. I gave it to her the night before and the morning of the hunt. She was not nearly as reactive to being in large groups with all sorts of horses (some flashy and some crazy). Where she use to be constantly moving at water holes and tack checks, with the Zylkene she stood quietly and was happy for the little breaks. It is pricey, but I feel the results are far better than Ace for my mare.

Worked for my horse
I tried this supplement with my Arab gelding who gets a small amount of anxiety. At first I was not sure as too many variables were at play. I eliminated most of the variables and found that for my gelding, it worked--well--maybe too well. Worth a try but for me, the supplement is too expensive to continue to buy (not SP fault--that is the MSRP on it).

Totally impressed with this product. It has a definite relaxing/calming effect with NO drowsiness. Compared to any other calming product with magnesium, calming herbs etc, it is no comparison. It really works and if you need something really effective it is worth the $$. I have tried on both mares and geldings with success. A friend of mine had a lot of success with her stallion on Zyklene also!
