Product info
Cool Bites™ are calming treats to help your horse to stay calm and relaxed without compromising performance. Ideal for horses during excitable or stressful situations such as competitions, separation anxiety, loading, travelling, hacking, farrier, dentist visits and to help excitable horses settle during turnout.
The active ‘calming’ ingredient is L-Tyrosine. Considered a natural mood stabiliser, L-Tyrosine helps the production of serotonin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that has important functions including helping towards the physiological regulation of stress.
How many do I feed?
All horses & ponies are different! Some are more anxious than others and may need two bites at a time. It really is down to the individual. Over time, our customers have found they need to use them less as the horse gains confidence and settles more quickly.

Feeding Guidelines
Feed one or two Cool Bites ™ 30-45 minutes before you need the desired effect.
Lasts 3-4 hours and can be topped up every 3 hours.
For best results feed for 2-3 consecutive days to build up the Serotonin levels.
Up to 4 Cool Bites™ can be given in a day.
Every horse is different and will metabolise at different rates as well as having pre-existing levels of serotonin. Some horses may benefit from 1 Cool Bite the night before an event, 1 again in the morning and 1 approximately 45 mins before. Some horses may benefit from more than one at a time.
My highland pony was a restart at 11yrs old she was on edge at times spooking , reluctant to work and very anxious . I started her on gastric supplement and added the calmer then added sensitivemare as she was difficult when in season . I use cookies for showing and travelling and I have a different horse this year . She is concentrating, listening and overall more relaxed in the show ground .
I use the cool bites on my Highland. He finds indoor arena trec a little too exciting for my liking, and these certainly take the edge off. He is usually in the ribbons every time out. The one occasion when I didn't use them, we had full on Highland fling, scored a lot of zeros and were unplaced. I also used them when he hadn't been ridden for 2 weeks due to the weather, and they certainly made for a less eventful hack after an extended break.
We also use calmer Pro daily on our Section D over the winter months. Unfortunately he wont touch the cool bites. He is so much more chilled this winter.
I highly recommend both these products.
Calms my youngster down enough to perform well but not look tired on them unlike other Calmers I have tried
She won on the weekend and got best yearling and then went on for reserve champion 🏆
Cool bites and the calmer Pro have been amazing for my mare. She gets tense. It's made a huge difference.
Thanks equine exceed
I bought these for a gelding who was being slightly problematic with his new field companion, they definitely took the edge off him and allowed him to settle with his new friend without causing chaos .
