Product Review: Thia-Cal By Finish Line Horse Products
Looking for a way to help your horse stay calm and focused during riding work? But don’t want to leave them feeling drowsy?
Heels Down put Thia-Cal, a daily thiamine (vitamin B1) and magnesium supplement to the test. You can listen to our full review on Episode 132 of the Heels Down Happy Hour Podcast.
Thia-Cal is a supplement that comes in liquid or powder form that is easily top dressed over feed or can be syringe-fed. With electrolytes, calcium, magnesium and vitamin B1 as its only active ingredients, Thia-Cal is a safe addition to your horse’s diet and great at promoting healthy nerves.
It will no test at horse shows as it does not contain ingredients like tryptophan, valerian root, or kava kava. And it won’t leave your horse feeling sluggish or dull.
This supplement is designed to help horses who are naturally nervous, restless or easily excited. While there are many reasons why a horse may be nervous or anxious, a vitamin and/or mineral deficiency is one possible cause.
Thia-Cal supples additional nutrients when horses may be under stress or are eating poorly. These nutrients work together to promote a sense of relaxation and mental alertness.
It can be fed daily or in the hours before work or travel. Thia-Cal is cost effective and easy to administer.
We fed a horse Thia-Cal coming back into work after rehabbing an injury with the hopes of helping him focus and staying calm for soundness and safety. The supplement helped our horse when veterinarian-prescribed sedatives did not feel appropriate. He hate the liquid form of the supplement with his meals without issue.
