Designed for as-needed use, the paste format provides quick, convenient support when focus is needed in the moment.

Gear Down Paste helps take the nervous edge off without dulling responsiveness or performance, allowing horses to stay mentally settled and attentive during runs, schooling, or competition.

• Stress management during hauling and competition

Really helped my horse focus coming back to a big race after a lot of time off. The weather also changed drastically overnight during the race, and a big cold front came in with wet weather. My horse stayed calm and quiet the whole weekend, even when tied alone. I think it really helped. Didn't take the run out of him though.

Been searching for a product that helped calm my barrel horse without affecting speed in my runs! Gear down did just that and the fact that it’s derived from natural ingredients makes it that much better! Use it every time I haul my anxious horse!

Gear Down Paste has earned a permanent place in my vet bag, reliably providing my horse with a calming presence approximately three hours before competition, which enables him to stay cool, calm, and focused. I also rely on it for extended travel, and its impact is unmistakable when accidentally forgotten.

I’ve had my mare on gear down(paste) for almost a year now and I absolutely love it. We used it all 2023 rodeo season. It was her first season and she is still super duper young. I noticed she did perfectly fine at barrel races but rodeos are a whole different ball game and have so much more going on. She would get so nervous, couldn’t sit still around live stock or swinging ropes, grand entries,loud bleachers- you name it… she would side step the whole time and I could feel her shaking through my saddle. Especially at her first few rodeos. I saw a tremendous difference after using it and have given it to her every rodeo since. It is a staple for us and I always have tubes on hand! I also love giving it to her on long hauls to make her ride more relaxing and enjoyable!! ❤️

I use the pellets but love that I can stack the dosage on competition days to help with the extra stress/anxiety that comes with hauling. My horses LOVE it and try to take it from me!

I tried Gear Down for the first time last winter on my 6 yr old mare who is very nervous and anxious. Before Gear Down, her heart would start racing in the back before a run and she would be a nervous wreck, and many times it affected her runs. The very first time I gave her the paste, she was extremely calm. She was like a different horse. Since using it, she went on to win several rounds at every rodeo finals we went too as well as derbies and pro rodeos. It’s been a game changer for my horse and I’m a huge believer in this product.
