Confidence EQ for Horses

Horse Calming Pheromone Gel by HardyPaw

Confidence EQ for Horses is a veterinary-recommended equine pheromone gel designed to reduce stress and promote calm behavior in horses during high-anxiety situations. Derived from the Equine Appeasing Pheromone (EAP) – a substance naturally produced by mares to reassure their foals – this topical gel mimics nature’s calming signal to help adult horses handle stress more effectively.

Whether it's trailering, training, veterinary visits, or loud environmental disturbances like thunderstorms or fireworks, Confidence EQ helps horses remain composed and cooperative. It is non-sedating, fast-acting, and easy to apply, making it a valuable tool for horse owners and equine professionals alike.

What Are the Benefits of Using Confidence EQ for Horses?

Confidence EQ from HardyPaw stands out as a safe, drug-free calming solution for equines, working within minutes to provide stress relief:

• Scientifically-backed calming pheromone: Uses synthetic Equine Appeasing Pheromone (EAP) to simulate the natural scent mares produce to calm foals.
• Fast-acting topical application: Begins working within 30 minutes after application; effects last up to 2.5 hours.
• Non-sedating, non-systemic formula: Allows your horse to remain alert and aware without being drowsy or impaired.
• Versatile use scenarios:
• Transport and trailering
• Vet and farrier visits
• Training sessions or competitions
• Weaning and separation anxiety
• Environmental stressors (e.g., fireworks, loud events)

Unlike oral calming supplements that may take longer to work or require consistent dosing, Confidence EQ works topically and quickly, offering immediate situational relief.

Who Should Use Confidence EQ?

• Horse owners with anxious or reactive horses
• Trainers dealing with high-strung equines
• Equine veterinarians and farriers
