[RC] [RC] Re:Calm Down paste - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Nicole z_arabs@xxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Thanks for all the input and I forgot that it might be against the drug rule. Although several brands claim that is "natural" ingredients and not against most drug rules in shows, etc. As was stated, the AERC "drug rule" is different from shows and other venues. If you THINK a substance will have a performance enhancing result and you still use it, then you are in violation. Testing or not is not the issue. Neither is "natural" vs synthetic. All that matters is if you think you're giving your horse something that will affect it's performance. I am 15 years older and am looking for an easier way to get them used to the excitement. These two get pretty wound when in a group and it is not fun. Every person who has taken a horse to their first ride can feel for you here. But, the only solution is time and experience. There is absolutely no need to ride out with the group in the morning. Wait 5, 10, 15 minutes. You don't even need to ride over to the starting area until everyone's gone. Then you can go out alone and as long as you're not racing you're unlikely to get stuck in any big groups. You might also consider going to organized pleasure trail rides with your horses to ride them in groups without the adrenalin boost and elevated heart rates to get them excited. ~Nicole =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
