More Information
Our Chilled Out Horse remedy can be used as a long term, everyday natural calming supplement for spooky horses when acute symptoms aren’t present or have reduced.
If your horse spooks when at competitions or events, try our Show Calm remedy.
Oral remedies need to make contact with a mucous membrane such as the tongue, gums or lips.
General Disclaimer Our equine remedies are formulated to support a horse’s natural immune response. We do not claim to treat, medicate or cure any health conditions. If you are worried an animal may be in pain or suffering, please contact your veterinarian.
DOSING
When To Dose
Spook Buster is a calming supplement that is given to the horse when symptoms of panic – such as trembling, hyper-vigilance, diarrhoea and other spooky behaviours - are present.
Professionally formulated to be fast acting, with effects lasting up to two hours.
Safe to use long term.
How To Dose
Spook Buster can only be given when symptoms are present, so you’ll need to be with your horse to administer a dose.
Most horses love the sweet taste, but for more nervous horses, pump a dose onto your finger and dab onto the horse’s tongue, gum or lips, or add a dose to a treat or piece of food.
90ml Pump Bottles
Give 2 pumps into the mouth or on a treat when needed. Repeat until you see tension ease, then stop dosing. For very spooked horses, a second and third dose can be given a few minutes apart.
90 ml Pump Bottle = 230 doses (2 pumps per dose).
Bottles are food grade aluminium with a hygienic serum pump lid and over cap.
Great for dosing on the go.
INGREDIENTS
Made in New Zealand. 100% Natural and Non-toxic. Homeopathic Preparation.

FAQ
All your questions, answered.

The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. For humans, this range is quite narrow at 21–28 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, rugging is usually appropriate when temperatures drop below 5–10 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition.
