Confidence EQ Appeasing Pheromone Gel For Horses

Confidence EQ contains a synthetic version of the equine appeasing pheromone (EAP). The natural version of this pheromone is secreted by the mare a few hours after she gives birth to reassure the foal and help it become familiar with the external world. In adult horses, the presence of this pheromone is a signal that the environment is safe. 

The ideal time to use Confidence EQ is when you anticipate your horse will be exposed to something new which they may find stressful. Confidence EQ helps reassure horses, helping them focus allowing them to use their own skills to cope with their surroundings.

Using Confidence EQ alongside the appropriate training will help ensure they have a positive experience. If a problem has already been established then Confidence EQ can be helpful in resolving it, alongside appropriate corrective training and handling as advised by a suitably qualified equine behaviourist. 

Confidence EQ can be used to help build confidence in situations such as:

• Loading, travelling and recovery after arrival
• Environmental changes (new yard, stabling) or competition environment
• Social situations (weaning foals, meeting new horses)
• Dealing with loud noises (large crowds, thunderstorms, fireworks)
• Breaking young horses and introducing new exercises during training
• Farrier, vet or dental visits.
