What's the difference between our Premier Calm and Calming Powder?

We’ve made a conscious shift to reduce soya in many of our products, as soya is increasingly used in hard feeds in the form of soya bean meal, soya hulls, and GM soya meal. Studies have shown that not all horses tolerate soya protein well.

With this in mind, we’ve developed many of our formulations using chia seeds, which provide numerous health benefits, especially for mares.
Both Premier Calm and Calming Powder are powerful, everyday supplements designed to help your horse stay calm, focused, and confident - without affecting performance. These innovative formulas are gentle enough to take the edge off without sedating, so your horse maintains their natural sparkle but hopefully with more focus on you and less on their triggers of stress/anxiety.

Both supplements are a unique combination of herbs and amino acids, L-Tyrosine and L-Arginine, and importantly, neither contains valerian, magnesium, nor tryptophan. They are ideal for horses in stressful situations, helping manage anxiety, stress, and fear.

We’ve found that Premier Calm works particularly well for mares. Omitting soya, which is high in phytoestrogens, Premier Calm uses chia, making it a great option for mares needing a powerful, calming effect. This is also why we use it in our Sassy Mare Plus formula.

Here’s the breakdown of the ingredients:

Premier Calm (with chia)

Chia Benefits:
Omega-3 fatty acids
Supports hydration
Easy to digest
Some known calming properties
Supports healthy skin, coat, mane, and hooves
Helps support muscle function

Calming Powder (With Non GMO Soya)

Soya Benefits:
High in fibre
High in protein
Low in saturated fat
A good source of omega-3 fatty acids
Rich in antioxidants
High in phytoestrogens

Both products are supported by scientific research and provide a safe, effective way to help your horse through stressful moments without compromising performance.

These products complement our famous Calming Cookies/Premier Calm Cookies and can be used alongside each other.

Siobhan OGara is next with her 7yr old Irish Sport Horse Mare Poppy. She is giving her the best education producing her slowly. 2026 will be a great year for them and we will hopefully see them out and about with their local Riding Club and some agricultural shows. You will also see she has her cheeky chap of a pony called Mitch who loves to get into mischief.

Our final Supported Rider of 2026 is
Darielle OSullivan She has two horses 19-year-old Berry who has done some SJI and Riding Club and acts like a 4-year-old!!!
