Product Description
Steady-Up Advance is a unique scientifically formulated feed supplement containing a combination of ingredients that effectively helps to promote and maintain calmness in horses and ponies without reducing performance.
Product Benefits
Steady-Up Advance supplies natural ingredients important for maintaining a healthy nervous system and normal carbohydrate metabolism. It includes magnesium, B complex vitamins, tryptophan and chromium. We have also added the calming herbs chamomile and lemon balm used historically for their relaxing effects on both the digestive and nervous systems, and over 15g of yeast in an average measure, which promotes hind gut digestive health. Steady-Up Advance does not contain synthetic sedatives and can be fed long term.

More Information - 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.
