Description
Confidence EQ is an equine appeasing pheromone 1% gel that has been clinically proven to reduce stress in horses facing new and challenging environments.
Pheromones are chemical signals exchanged between members of the same animal species. They are a form of communication that trigger various behaviors, such as alarm, reproduction, territory marking and mother-baby bonding. They are not odors or hormones, so they do not affect cell function.
Mares release an equine appeasing pheromone (EAP) towards their nursing foal. Confidence EQ replicates this pheromone, offering the same behavioral benefits in horses of all ages:
- Provides reassurance and emotional stabilization.
- Signifies a safe and secure environment.
- Signifies a safe and secure environment.
Benefits of Confidence EQ
- Training tool – combine with behavioral and desensitization therapy.
- Safe for competition – Not listed on the FEI prohibited substance list.
- Fast & long-lasting – Takes effect in 30 minutes, lasts 2.5 hours, and can be reapplied as needed.
- Single-use packets – Ensure accurate dose every time.
- Easy to administer – No syringes, mixing food, pills or other uncomfortable application methods that can add stress to the horse.
Daily allowance
Administer when the horse is calm and quiet – 30 minutes before the stressful
event will take place.
1 single-dose packet = 1 application.
Directions for Use
– Open the single-dose packet and squeeze the gel onto your fingers.
– Apply the gel at the base of the horse’s nostrils.
– Re-apply every 2 – 2.5 hours if necessary.
Some horses may raise their upper lip after application, a reaction called the Flehman response; this natural behavior is how horses receive and interpret the pheromones, and could be the first indication that Confidence EQ is working.
