Stories From the Saddle

How I Got My Focused Horse Back

April 15, 2020 10:36:46 AM MDT / by Amber Foote

My horse, Officer Collins, and I participate together in trail riding, Western pleasure competition and barrel racing. I love the connection we’ve created as we ride and work together.

Our connection wasn’t always as good, though. My horse went through a time where he became completely unfocused, stressed and spooky. I didn’t know how he would react in certain situations, and that had a huge impact on our ability to attend shows.

The frustration was horrible! I felt like I might never get my horse back.

I heard about Redmond through a lot of people in the horse community—especially the Daily Gold Stress Relief product. It’s an inexpensive, everyday supplement that’s easy to feed, and I decided to try it on Officer Collins.

I’d been feeding Daily Gold for about two weeks when I started noticing improvements. One day I went out to see my horse in his stall, and it was like he was back to normal! He didn’t act stressed, and he continued to stay happy and focused while we worked.

Because of Daily Gold, I’m now able to trail ride with Officer Collins wherever, whenever. I love that we can go to shows together and I don’t worry about him spooking. Now that my horse is more focused and calm, our relationship has improved and I feel confident in his ability to perform.
