Herbal Calmer for Horses - Valerian-Based Natural Calm & Tension Support

Some horses cope well with new experiences, while others become tense, reactive or physically tight when faced with training pressure, travel or unfamiliar environments.

Herbal Calmer is Brookby Herbs' traditional dried herbal blend with Valerian, Chamomile, Lemon Balm and Dandelion, formulated to support calm behaviour, relaxation and a more settled outlook. It is ideal for horses that hold tension in their body or become anxious in challenging situations.

✔ Becomes tense or anxious in new environments

✔ Shows stress when travelling

✔ Becomes unsettled at competitions or events

✔ Holds tension in their body or muscles

Why Horse Owners Choose Herbal Calmer

Herbal Calmer combines traditional herbs that have long been used to support relaxation, calm behaviour and emotional balance in horses.

The blend is designed to support:

• Calm behaviour
• Relaxed muscles
• Emotional balance
• Focus during training
• Ease in unfamiliar situations

Many owners use Herbal Calmer as part of their daily routine or in the lead-up to travel, training or competition to help maintain a more settled horse.

Common Signs Your Horse May Benefit from Calming Support

Some horses naturally carry more tension than others, especially in busy or stimulating environments.

Common signs include:

• Tight or tense body posture
• Nervousness when travelling
• Spooking or over-reactivity
• Difficulty focusing
• Restlessness in training
• Anxiety in new places
• Sensitivity under saddle
• General tension or unease

Supporting calm behaviour daily may help horses feel more comfortable and manageable in everyday work.

How Herbal Calmer Works

Herbal Calmer contains traditional herbs that have been used to support the nervous system, relaxation and emotional wellbeing.

The blend works alongside the horse’s natural body processes to help support:

• Calm temperament
• Relaxed muscle function
• Normal stress response
• Emotional balance
• Settled behaviour in new environments

Because herbs work gradually, consistent daily use generally provides the best results.

Training, Travel & Competition Support

Herbal Calmer is commonly used for horses that need extra support in:

• Training environments
• Travel situations
• Clinics and lessons
• Competition preparation
• Exposure to new environments

Many owners choose to feed it daily during busy periods or leading into events.

Why Choose a Dried Herbal Blend?

Dried herbs are easy to mix into feed and provide a practical option for ongoing calming support.

Herbal Calmer is suitable for horses already on a daily feeding routine and for owners wanting a natural, consistent approach to managing tension.
