Do You Manage a Boarding Stable?

Stable harmony affects every horse in your barn, and every boarder's experience. When one horse is reactive, spooky, or struggling to settle, the tension spreads.

Stable harmony affects every horse in your barn, and every boarder's experience.

When one horse is reactive, spooky, or struggling to settle, the tension spreads.

Social Horse and Relaxed Horse are used by stable owners to support calmer introductions when new horses arrive, reduce ongoing tension between horses in shared spaces, and create a more settled environment for every horse in the barn.

Every blend is custom-made by Catherine Winfree, animal communicator and flower essence practitioner, who can tune into each stable's needs before selecting the right essences for them.

Catherine Winfree, animal communicator, with Calm Animal Solutions

Catherine Winfree | Animal Communicator & Flower Essence Practitioner

Every blend starts with a conversation. With your horse.

Catherine Winfree is an animal communicator and flower essence practitioner based in North Carolina. Before selecting a single essence, she tunes into your horse's specific emotional state, not their breed, not their history on paper, but what they're actually carrying.

What she hears shapes every blend she makes. That's why no two Calm Animal Solutions orders are ever identical, and why horse owners often notice changes they weren't expecting.

Many horse owners report noticeable changes within the first week.

Frequently Asked Questions about Horses and Flower Essences

Which blend is right for my horse?

Start with your horse's biggest struggle.

Relaxed Horse is formulated for horses that spook easily, can't settle without their person, or are struggling to adjust to a new stable or environment.

Social Horse is formulated for horses whose primary issue is aggression toward other horses, herd tension, or disrupting the stable environment.

Confident Horse is formulated for horses that panic at the trailer, shut down at shows, or struggle with routine handling and vet visits.

If all three blends seem like a fit, choose the one that describes the problem you most want to solve first.

There's a good chance you'll see improvement in all areas.

Individual results vary.

My horse was rescued (rehomed). Which blend do I order?

Start with your horse's behavior rather than their history.

Rescue and rehomed horses can present differently depending on what they're carrying.

If your horse spooks easily, can't settle, or is struggling to adjust to their new environment, Relaxed Horse is the right place to start.

If your horse is aggressive toward other horses or disrupting the stable, Social Horse is the right place to start.

If your horse shuts down under pressure, refuses the trailer, or struggles at the vet or farrier, Confident Horse is the right place to start.

If all three blends seem like a fit, choose the one that describes the problem you most want to solve first.

There's a good chance you'll see improvement in all areas.

I've tried Bach Rescue Remedy. How is this different?

Bach Rescue Remedy is one of the most recognized flower essence blends in the world, and it has introduced many horse owners to what flower essences can do. It contains five essences formulated for general stress and acute upset. For many situations, it helps.

These blends go further. Catherine works from the full Bach flower essence library and beyond, selecting essences specifically for the emotional pattern your horse is carrying. Whether that's nervous tension, herd aggression, or trailer fear, the blend is custom-made for that situation, not general stress.

If Rescue Remedy has helped but hasn't fully resolved what you're seeing,

Relaxed Horse, Social Horse, or Confident Horse is the natural next step.

My horses's behavior is fine when I'm there, but I get reports of problems when I'm away. Which blend do I order?

This is one of the most common situations Catherine hears from horse owners at boarding stables.

The horse is navigating a complex social environment without their trusted person present.

If the reported behavior is aggression or tension with other horses, Social Horse is the right place to start.

If the behavior is more anxious or unsettled, Relaxed Horse is the right choice.

If the behavior involves shutting down, refusing handling, or struggling under pressure without you there, Confident Horse is the right place to start.

If all three blends seem like a fit, choose the one that describes the problem you most want to solve first. There's a good chance you'll see improvement in all areas.

Individual results vary.

Are flower essences backed by vets?

Flower essences are generally considered safe and are often used alongside veterinary care.

VCA Animal Hospitals describes them this way: "Flower essences are extracts from various types of flowers that are used to balance emotions. In animals, they are used to relieve emotional stress and anxiety."

VCA also confirms flower essences are used in cats, dogs, horses, fish, birds, and other animals.

While not a prescription, they can complement the training or medical support your vet recommends. Always let your vet know what you are using.
