I just purchased a stallion a couple months ago. When I first got him he was so hyper. I just associated his hyperness with the fact that his last owners never took him out of a small dirt paddock and he was enjoying his new found freedom. I started to work him by letting him into the arena and free longeing him. However its been 4 months since a bought him and he still runs around like lunatic without slowing down, even without me there to get him to stretch his legs. He gets himself so worked up that he'll be dripping sweat. I try to cool him out but even then he won't stop. He has a very short attention span as well. I've been researching different calming supplements that have claimed that they will calm a hyper horse down and help him focus, but I'm a little unsure. Does anyone have any experience with calming supplements? Would they work for a stallion?
