Re: Pro Form Horse Supplement

[Susan Evans Garlinghouse <suendavid@worldnet.att.net>]

Anne, could you list what the ingrediants in the supplement are?

And in the meantime, I'd try taking the hyper horse off the supplement
again and see if he calms down again.  If so, at least you know it's the
Pro Form and not something else.  You might also ask the barn
manager/staff/etc and see if there have been any other changes in his
normal routine or ration?  I knew someone once who had a normally nice
horse who all of a sudden started acting really nuts in his stall. 
After vet exams, changes in diet, talks with trainers, etc etc, they
discovered a rattlesnake living underneath his feed manger!  Snake gone,
everything back to normal.  Anyway, just a thought that you might ask
around if anything else has changed that might be causing the change in
attitude.

Good luck!
