Calm & Collected PLUS

Calm & Collected PLUS is a super concentrated herbal supplement formulated to support calm, focused behaviour in horses and ponies during training and competition.

Ideal for:

• Competition horses requiring additional support for focus and concentration
• Horses that can become stressed or overexcited in busy environments

Unlike Calm & Collected Liquid, the PLUS formula does not contain an apple cider vinegar base, providing a super concentrated herbal formulation. Its convenient liquid format is easy to administer and is particularly suited to competition horses looking for targeted, fast-acting nutritional support.

Ideal for horses prone to stress or overexcitement, this carefully balanced blend is designed to support a relaxed yet attentive mindset, particularly in busy or high-pressure situations.

What is in the blend?

• Chamomile: Chamomile has a long history of traditional use in herbal preparations to support relaxation and general wellbeing. Chamomile contains active compounds such as apigenin, bisabolol, and chamazulene, which have mild sedative and relaxing properties  These can help reduce anxiety and nervousness, especially in horses undergoing travel, competition, or environmental changes.
  
  
• Skullcap: Skullcap is beneficial for horse behaviour due to its calming properties that support the nervous system. It is particularly effective for horses that are high-strung or prone to spooking, as it works by calming the central nervous system without causing drowsiness. Additionally, Skullcap can help heal the nervous system over time, making it a valuable herb for horses that have been through trauma or abuse. 
  
  
• Vervain: Vervain is a traditional herbal ingredient that complements the other herbs in the formulation. Vervain is a natural “nervine” herb, meaning it helps balance the nervous system. It’s especially helpful for horses that are twitchy, spooky, over‑excitable, or prone to restless movement. By easing nervousness, it can improve focus and relaxation during training or competition.
  
  
• Lemon Balm: Lemon Balm is known for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to reduce stress and anxiety, which can be triggered by various factors such as travel, competition, or environmental changes. The herb's active compounds, such as Rosmarinic Acid and flavonoids, interact with the horse's nervous system, promoting relaxation without sedation. Alongside this, Lemon Balm's digestive properties can alleviate gastrointestinal issues, further contributing to a horse's overall well-being.
  
  
• Marshmallow Root: Marshmallow root is included in the blend due to its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to calm irritation and support easy digestion, which can lead to a more relaxed and comfortable horse. By providing a protective layer for the digestive tract, Marshmallow Root can help improve overall well-being and performance for horses and reduce digestive related stresses.
  
  
• Gotu Kola: Gotu Kola is beneficial for horses' behaviour due to its ability to boost the brain's gamma‑aminobutyric acid (GABA) production, which is a calming neurotransmitter. This can help reduce anxiety and stress, leading to improved behaviour and mental clarity. Additionally, Gotu Kola's anti-inflammatory properties may help soothe inflammation in horses, which can contribute to better overall behaviour and well-being.
  
  
• Hawthorn: Hawthorn flowering tops are valued in equine nutrition mainly for their support of heart function and healthy circulation. By stabilising circulation and reducing vascular stress, hawthorn can help maintain performance and resilience, especially in equines facing seasonal changes or lifestyle shifts.
  
  
• Passion Flower: Passion Flower contains flavonoids and alkaloids, which can have a soothing effect on the nervous system, aiding its calming and soothing effects and making it particularly useful in stressful situations, such as visits from the farrier, during a move, or in the presence of loud noises. Passion Flower helps the horse remain calmer without impairing performance, ensuring inner relaxation without making the horse tired. 

Together, these eight herbs create a carefully considered blend designed to support calm, focused behaviour as part of your horse's everyday care and competition preparation.
