Travel and competition season introduce new stressors for performance horses.

Long hauls, busy showgrounds and changing environments can affect focus, behavior and manageability, even in experienced animals.

Guanabenz is a popular calming agent often used to help excitable or anxious horses settle, remain attentive and stay manageable in high-stress situations. Many animal owners and care teams value its ability to reduce excess reactivity without the intensity associated with some psychotropic medications.
