When you find a good mare, you know it. That bond is something special. But when hormones take over, even the best mare can become a different horse, tense, unpredictable and sometimes dangerous. That constant uncertainty chips away at your peace of mind every single time you walk into the yard.

Her competition mare had always been hormonal. When she came into season, she would arch her neck, scream at other horses, and behave almost like a stallion. She could rear, tense up completely, and become genuinely difficult to handle.

For years, Regumate kept it under control. But once the mare came off it to go in foal, the behaviour came straight back.

Meanwhile, her three year old was showing the same warning signs at exactly the same age her own mother had. She was calling and flirting with other horses constantly, and worse, she was becoming crabby through her back whenever she was in season. That is a serious problem when you are trying to back a young horse safely and build her confidence under saddle.

She put both mares on Blue Chip Happy Mare, the UK's first feed balancer developed specifically for hormonal mares.

For the older mare, the change was massive. The screaming stopped. The tension eased. She became a calmer, softer version of herself.

Then came the real test. That same mare spent five weeks on box rest with a fetlock injury, normally a guaranteed recipe for a stir crazy, highly strung horse. Instead, she stayed completely settled. Calm to lead, calm to handle, calm through the whole thing.

Her three year old told the same story. The constant calling and flirting faded away. Backing went smoothly, with none of the discomfort or tension that had worried her owner so much. And remarkably, the change went further than Regumate had ever managed with this mare's own mother.

Two mares. Two very different life stages. The same transformation. Calmer, more comfortable, more consistent, and easier to trust every single day.

That is the real value of getting hormonal behaviour under control with Blue Chip Happy Mare. Not just a quieter mare, but a rider who feels safe, a young horse who can progress with confidence, and an owner who finally gets her peace of mind back.
