01 · THE PROBLEM
The problem this solves
Some of the true greats of horse sport have been mares. But, they have their days. This supplement is formulated to help mares be great, everyday.
02 · WHO IT'S FOR
Who Mare Mix is for
01
mares who are moody at any point in their cycle
02
mares who show signs of seasonal discomfort
03 · THE FORMULATION
Every ingredient, and why it's in
In this formulation, I have tried to address three things: mood, hormones and pain.
Ginkgo biloba
In humans, Ginkgo biloba may help ease premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms, including mood changes, pain, and water retention, by improving blood flow and reducing inflammation.
L-Tryptophan
L-Tryptophan is the direct precuror to Serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is the "happiness" neurotransmitter.
Calcium
Calcium can help reduce symptoms like mood swings, fatigue, and bloating by supporting hormone and neurotransmitter regulation.
Magnesium
Magnesium can help moody mares by supporting nerve function, easing muscle tightness, and reducing reactivity during hormonal cycles.
Brewer’s Yeast (base ingredient)
Brewer’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a yeast and is the source of various vitamins and minerals.
Dandelion Taraxacum officinale
Dandelion is a gentle natural diuretic, helping to clear extra fluid and waste and supporting general comfort.
Boswellia serrata extract
Many "moody" or "mare-ish" behaviors are actually reactions to underlying physical pain or low-grade discomfort during their cycles. Boswellia acts as a natural anti-inflammatory that soothes joint stiffness, muscle soreness, or general body aches.
Chasteberry Agnus castus
Agnus castus has been found to support pituitary function and helps to balance reproductive hormones like oestrogen, progesterone, and luteinizing hormone.
Chia seed Salvia hispanica
Chia seeds do not directly balance equine hormones, but they provide magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, and gut-soothing mucilage that can help calm general stress and ease physical discomfort linked to hormonal moodiness.
Vitamin B6 Pyridoxine
Vitamin B6 works alongside other nutrients to smooth out behavioral changes linked to the oestrous cycle.

05 · QUESTIONS
What owners actually ask
At what point in her cycle, should I give my mare Mare mix?
Mares are such individuals and their cycles too, can be highly specific. Know your mare and her cycle. Start with the supplement about 4 days prior to her particular moody point. And yes, in some mores, this means she will need to be on Mare mix permanently.

I own a mare that just turned 4 and came into heat properly for the first time and went from a very sweet loving girl to a girl that just wanted to fight and throw tantrums about everything. My instructor and stable manager suggested I put her on the mare mix to help her deal with the hormones. Within a week of being on the mix she was back to being her sweet cuddly self
Beryl Shuttleworth –
Ingrid, I’m SO pleased to hear that. 🙂
Pauline Kinton –
ha ha bitch mix it is and it certainly sorted out my madam!!
Dawn Gray –
I think Beryl developed this product after I moaned and moaned and moaned about my mare every time she came into season.
She is the 5th mare that I have owned, and has by far the worst case of PMS that I have come across!
The Mare mix (called Bitch mix in our circles 🙂 ) took the edge off and kept her far more functional through her season.
We can actually canter while in season these days!
So no more having to plan shows around when she is in heat!

i used this product on a very moody mare and within weeks this mare settled down and was not so moody, she was willing to work and listen to the rider where as before she was very moody and we could only work with her on her good day. i recommend this product to anyone that has to deal with a moody mare.
