What is Positude?
Positude is a natural hormone support supplement for horses that may help with balancing their temperament and relaxing their muscles. It is made from plant extracts that act on the pituitary gland to regulate hormone levels in mares, geldings, and stallions. Some horse owners and riders use Positude to improve the behavior and performance of their horses, especially those that are sensitive, moody, or aggressive due to hormonal fluctuations. Positude is also safe to handle, easy to administer, and does not contain any prohibited substances.
How do I know if my horse needs Positude?
There is no definitive way to know if your horse needs Positude, as different horses may have different reactions to hormonal changes. However, some common signs that your horse may benefit from Positude are:
- Moodiness, irritability, or aggression
- Sensitivity to touch or pressure
- Spookiness, nervousness, or anxiety
- Difficulty focusing or learning
- Muscle tension or stiffness
- Poor performance or attitude If you notice any of these behaviors in your horse, especially if they are related to the estrus cycle in mares or the presence of other horses, you may want to try Positude and see if it helps. You can also consult your veterinarian or trainer for more advice on whether Positude is suitable for your horse.
How long does it take for it to work?
According to the manufacturer, Positude takes about two weeks to show noticeable results in most horses. However, some horses may respond faster or slower than others, depending on their individual hormone levels and sensitivity. It is recommended to use Positude for at least four weeks before evaluating its effectiveness. You can also monitor your horse’s behavior and mood for any changes during this period. If you have any questions or concerns about using Positude, you can always consult your veterinarian or trainer for more guidance.
Can I use it on pregnant mares?

However, there is no specific information on whether Positude is safe or effective for pregnant mares. Therefore, it is advisable to consult your veterinarian before using Positude on pregnant mares, as they may have different hormonal needs and sensitivities than non-pregnant mares. Your veterinarian can also monitor your mare’s pregnancy and health and recommend the best course of action for her well-being.
