Nervous horse before a competition: a routine to arrive calm

Team ON-H Updated October 21, 2026 1 min read

● The gesture Near the nostrils, not inside
In short

On competition day, bring your home routine with you. Use TranquiON every day in the weeks before and, at the show, 10–15 minutes before the warm-up: three strokes near the nostrils. We have checked the ingredients against the FEI list of prohibited substances.

Why competition day is different

The trailer journey, a strange stable, loudspeakers, other horses, waiting: everything is different from home. The more familiar things your horse finds, the easier it is to stay focused.

The competition-day routine

  1. In the weeks before: TranquiON every day before work, so the scent becomes familiar.
  2. In the trailer: load calmly, with the same steps you use at home.
  3. At the stable: give it time to settle before getting it ready.
  4. Before the warm-up: 10–15 minutes before, three strokes of TranquiON near the nostrils.
  5. After the round: DryON on the sweaty coat and Crio Gel or Cryo Wraps on the legs.

Frequently asked questions

Can it be used in competition?

Yes. We have checked every ingredient against the FEI list of prohibited substances.

What's inside?

Lavender, sweet orange, vetiver, patchouli and frankincense, in a roll-on.

Only for competitions?

No: it works best as a daily habit, plus special moments like the trailer, shows and the farrier.

For difficult moments outside competitions: farrier, trailer and vet. After the round: cooling the legs and drying the sweat.
