Fun Fact!

It’s often said that horses have a lot of heart, which is actually true. The average horse’s heart weighs between 8 and 9lbs. Some have more heart than others, just like people. Secretariat’s heart weighed in at a whopping 22lbs, more than twice the size of an average racehorse. What a tremendous machine powering the greatest racehorse that ever lived!

SynChill saved the day!
 
Dabanos can be famously nervous in some show arenas. He had been particularly explosive in the indoor arena where the Belgian Dressage championships were held in early October.
 
A friend recommended SynChill and I decided to try it to maximize our performance at this important show. Synchill worked like a charm and Dabanos and I performed as one. He focused on me and the job at hand instead of feeling anxious and hard to manage. I would definitely use Synchill again for potential high-stress situations for Dabanos!
