Feedmark Steady Up Advance Calming Supplement
Steady-Up Advance is the original natural
calmative. Added daily to feed, it provides magnesium, yeast, B vitamins
and natural calming herbs. These combine effectively to support the
horse's nervous system and promote everyday calmness. For "fizzy"
excitable or over-anxious horses and for a more pleasurable riding
experience, feed Steady-Up Advance.
The horse and its natural behaviour
The horse evolved as a free-roaming, non-territorial herd animal, browsing for food day and night and occasionally running at high speeds to avoid predators. It is a prey species that is well adapted to detecting possible predators and reacting to them.
The horse's natural response is to flee if frightened. Although most horses cope well with the intensive management of domestication, their instincts remain with them. Bearing this in mind, we cannot blame the horse for being anxious when faced with a new experience, spooking at the unknown or for being exuberant after overnight confinement in a stable. Nervousness and over-excitement are natural responses to the external environment. However, when a horse becomes unmanageable or his anxiety or fear is expressed as aggression, the problem needs to be addressed.
Advanced formula Steady-Up is a unique scientifically formulated feed supplement containing a combination of ingredients that effectively promote calmness in horses and ponies without reducing performance. It does not contain synthetic sedatives and can be fed long term.
Steady-Up supplies nutrients important for a healthy nervous system and normal carbohydrate metabolism, including magnesium and B complex vitamins. In addition, calming herbs used historically for their relaxing effects on both the digestive and nervous systems, and over 15g of yeast in an average measure, which promotes hindgut health.
