Re: [RC] Twitch for loading/Quietex - Stephanie E CaldwellI used Quietex for about 6 months with my current horse. She had stifle and back problems and was confined to a little pen alone, without the Quietex she was a monster when we'd handwalk and ride, with it she was a little lamb. It's a homeopathic in a lactose base, Valirian 8x strength. It's a small enough dose that it shouldn't test, but if I had it to do over again I'd go to the local health food store and buy some homeopathic Valerian in 8x and 200c (a much stronger dose) to keep on hand for when I had to calm her down! BTW, I got mine through KV Vet supply.

I saw mention of Quietex the other day and went in search for it and all I could find was a human quit-smoking drug. Any comments? I'm looking because I have a mare that's a joy to ride but get so extremely nervous in the trailer that even after a 10 minute ride she comes out dripping in sweat. So far, we're taking 10-minute rides to a nearby stables and last week a 45-minute ride to a nearby conditioning trail. However, the closest endurance ride to me is 2 hours and can just envision what she's going to be like by the time we get there. I'll take any and all comments!!! :) Jackie (and Crystal the Claustrophic) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bette Lamore" <woa@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <walkergirl@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: <ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, May 09, 2003 4:13 AM Subject: Re: [RC] Twitch for loadingHi Amanda The twitch in the trailer sounds like an accident waiting to happen. I would just put the trailer in his pasture or back it to his paddock and put his food in it for a while so that he learns it is a good place to be. Much easier on you and him and safer. Good luck Bette A. Perez wrote:I recently posted re: my troublesome TWH gelding who walks right one the trailer but backs right off if I leave his head. The recent posts have made me wonder if it is wortwhile trying a twitch to teach him to stand still once loaded? I have seen twitches which are designed to be attached to a cross tie so it does not have to be held on to. My objective here is to just get him used to standing on the trailer: no eating, no backing off: just stand. Also was wondering of Ace or quietex might help him not be quite so nervous while on the trailer.
