Quietex and Ace for Horses

Question

A lot of people say I should use Ace or quietex to calm my horse during shows. His only problems are noise. I would consider but half the people I ask about it says it works fine and the other half says it doesn't. So would these products take the edge off my horse?

Answer 1

ace can be risky to ride a horse with in its system...

and both of these drugs can show up in tests...

i would try earplugs if it is only the noise...

Answer 2

if anything use quietex... ace shows up on tests and is pretty much just a no no for shows. if it's the noise, maybe earplugs? i've known a pony that was the same way. they plugged him, and he was a saint from then on.
