Product Description
Stress Paste is a short term, fast-acting digestive supplement available in a convenient, palatable paste as a syringe or in a 360ml pouch. It’s designed for use before, during, and after stressful events such as travel, weather, competition, or sudden changes in routine.
Stress can cause horses to stop eating and drinking, tire quickly, and experience GI imbalance, dehydration, and muscle strain.
Stress Paste helps break this cycle by supporting normal stomach pH, microbial resiliency, hydration and nervous system function when it's needed most. By easing the effects of stress, it promotes calmer behaviour, consistent appetite, normal manure, and optimal performance.
Always consult your veterinarian or equine nutritionist for specific advice for your horse. Stress Paste is competition safe.

Developed with Experts.
Backed by Research.
Developed by veterinarians and equine health experts, StressPaste combines advanced gut support with key ingredients that regulate stress hormones, promote relaxation, and protect the gastrointestinal tract.
Our formula is built on cutting-edge research into equine gut health and stress response. Each ingredient plays a crucial role in maintaining a horse’s mental and physical wellbeing.

Acts as a stomach buffer to help prevent ulcers and provides magnesium, which is needed in higher amounts during stress.
Helps maintain hydration and supports gut health during heat and exercise-related stress.
Essential for appetite, energy production, and nervous system support during stressful periods.
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects muscles from oxidative stress caused by exercise and stress.
Vitamin C works with Vitamin E to combat free radicals. Supplementation supports optimal levels when natural production drops during stress.

Threonine, glutamine, proline, and serine aid gut lining repair and mucus production, promoting gut health during stress or time off feed.

I use it before travelling to competitions. Keeps my mare eating and drinking at competitions
Store owner replied: Hey Jean, thank you for such a wonderful review. We're happy to hear that Stress Paste is keeping your mare eating and drinking at competitions.
Love love love stress paste. I give it before our long travel starts and when we arrive at our destination. Freshi eats straight away and doesn’t lose his appetite over the competition. He also gets a paste each day that we are away to keep him stress free and relaxed. Couldn’t complete without it.
Store owner replied: Hey Jo, thank you for such a wonderful review! We're so happy that Stress Paste is helping Freshi stay relaxed and maintain his appetite during competitions. Cheers to your kind words!
Arabec Skip the Blues just finished the world famous Shahzada marathon 400km ride. Skip was getting the stress paste every day during the ride and also before the floating journey to and from the ride. 11 out of 12 vet checks during the ride he had A for gut sounds. He ate and drank in course so well I couldn't be happier.
Store owner replied: Hey Nadine, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're so pleased to hear that Stress Paste helped Skip perform so well during the ride. Cheers to many more successes!
Amazing product, wish it was slightly cheaper or a bulk pack even bigger than current was available at a reduced cost but cannot fault the product. I love it, horses love it. In my experience if my horse is slightly off their hay or feed because something may have changed a serving of stress paste and he's cleaning back up again. Amongst other benefits which I believe have included less anxiety in general when used accordingly. Very happy with it and my 9yr old who has won 2 of his last 7 races and one of them 2 seconds quicker than his previous best
Store owner replied: Cheers to your kind words, Patrick! So glad to hear Stress Paste is working wonders for your horses. We'll definitely forward your suggestion about bulk packs. 🐴
Our go to paste for all situations including Transport, Competition and any drastic change in weather.

Our 1st major show & 1st time at QSEC, Reno gets nervous when going somewhere unfamiliar, especially when there is a lot going on so I decided to try stress paste. Wow I could not of been happier with his performance, he was super chilled & relaxed which then let me concentrate on patterns & keeping myself relaxed. Very happy with the product & will most definitely be using again.
Store owner replied: Hey Kerri, thank you for leaving such a wonderful review! We're so glad to hear Reno stayed chilled and relaxed at QSEC. Looking forward to supporting you both again!
Wonderfull product for a fresh mare
Store owner replied: Hi Debbie, thank you so much for you review and video! She looks beautiful! Thank you, Bec
Stress Paste has been a wonderful addition to my competition routine for my horse Evenstar (Izzy). Izzy can at times be tense and hot when in a competition environment and since I have incorporated Stress Paste into her routine I have noticed a real improvement in her relaxation and rideability and this has come through in her scores and results.
My endurance horse completed a 160km race at the NSW State champs over the weekend. We came in 4th, the amazing thing is we improved our time by 4 hours. He ate and drank really well all day. I know all tracks are different, but it's still an amazing time difference. We are typically middle of the pack but we were with the front riders most of the ride. We used stress paste as directed and Digestive RP.
Store owner replied: Hey Nadine, amazing news on your endurance race! It's brilliant to hear how well your horse performed with the help of our Digestive RP and stress paste. Thanks for such a fantastic review, this makes our team so happy! 😊 Thank you, Bec
My yearling filly was separated from her favourite paddock mate as I was taking the other horse out the next day. I found my filly laying down in the paddock later in the day when I went to feed up. She went into her night paddock with her Uncle and ate her hard feed but then went to lay down again on her hay. I gave her the Stress Paste and then watched her stand in the corner of her paddock looking over at her paddock mate calling out. About 20-30 minutes later if was like a switch from flipped and she walked away and started eating her hay and just like everything was normal. The next morning I gave her a second dose 30 minutes before I loaded her mate up in the float. She gave a one short call to her mate when she saw her but then went back to eating with not a care in the world. Thanks for making this product
Store owner replied: Hey Cathy B., we're so pleased that Stress Paste gave your yearling filly comfort! So glad it helped her feel normal and munch on her hay again. Such a relief to hear! Thank you for leaving this wonderful review.
Murphy always has Stress Paste when preparing to travel and while we are away at shows or if he is struggling with the weather changes. Stress Paste is an absolute godsend for him.
Store owner replied: Hi Kate, Thank you so much for sharing! We love hearing how Stress Paste is part of his routine for travel, shows, and even those tricky weather changes. Supporting gut health, hydration, and overall comfort during these stressful times is exactly what it’s designed for, so it’s wonderful to hear it’s made such a difference for him. Give Murphy a pat from us! 🐴

Store owner replied: Hi Debbie, Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so happy to hear it’s helping keep your mare feeling her best. Having Stress Paste on hand for those times of travel, competition, or any stressful changes can make such a difference in supporting gut health, hydration, and overall comfort. 🐴
Absolutely love this paste and love that you made the pouch which works out more affordable too! Yesterday my mare was bitten by something and it left a big welt mark, she than had really runny poo and I gave her 30mls of this great paste and she is back to normal today!

Store owner replied: Gorgeous, thank you so much for this lovely review!!
Love stress paste I use it every 6 weeks for my sons horse who usually likes to keep my farrier on his toes but with using the paste he just yawns through the trim 😀
My young horse has been quite spooky coming back into work . I decided to start him on digestive eq and buy a stress paste. I tried today in super windy conditions and my gelding was SO much calmer then usual ! Back to his pony stubborn like self . Now to stock up .
Store owner replied: This is so good to hear! Thank you for sharing this with us :)
I first tried this product on a young horse in 2020. His first ever show, second time off our property, as well as his 1st time in an indoor arena. As expected, he was a tense day one, we gave his stress past that night and the next day before his open class. We could really see the difference and he was much calmer and worked so well, he ended up qualifying for Nationals ( equal Runner Up) at his first ever show, against a strong field of 20 plus other ponies. Have continued to use this product!
Store owner replied: Congratulations Teneille! Thank you for sharing this with us.
These two mares are very nervous travelers. With a 5.5 hrs trip I decided to give stress paste before and we all traveled so much better. Will be using this for all my long travelling in future.
All good
Xena arrived relaxed after her first long trip and was so calm when she saw the beach for the first time. She surprised everyone!
I have found this paste the best on my show horses.
Well behaved at dressage day
I love stress paste we use it to travel our fellow who stresses about loading and travelling to a new place. Normally he wouldn’t tie to the float happily and certainly not eat. However since we have been using stress paste he is an absolute pleasure to take out. It doesn’t dumb down his work which we like. It just takes the edginess out of him on the ground. I highly recommend this product ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wonderful product. Great for young horses being introduced to travel and competitions. Keeps his sensitive stomach in check allowing him to relax and settle in different environments. He’s happy to eat and drink at different locations, even overnight stays. His manure is now always well formed and healthy too. Previously had a tendency to show signs of colicafter a weekend away. With loose manure and nervous, reactive behaviour. I buy it by the box!!
FAQ
Stress affects horses in many ways while some signs can be subtle, more obvious ones include anxious behaviour. They stop eating. They stop drinking. Muscles tire faster, dehydration sets in, and energy levels drop.
Time off feed and heat stress throw gut health off balance, while oxidative stress strains muscles and organs. Anxiety kicks in, fueling the cycle. They stop eating. They stop drinking… and it continues.
Reducing stress isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential for your horse’s overall well-being, performance, and longevity. By making proactive choices, you can create a calmer, healthier environment that helps your horse thrive.
Stress Paste helps break this cycle, keeping horses eating, drinking, and feeling their best by supporting hydration, gut health, and muscle function when they need it most. Use Stress Paste before, during and after a stress event. For best results we recommend using it with our daily, foundation gut support, Digestive HP
No, Stress Paste does not sedate your horse. Stress Paste works by supporting the functions affected most by stressful events. By supporting gut health, hydration, and muscle recovery, Stress Paste helps horses stay comfortable, focused, and calm without dulling their responses.
Stress Paste provides buffering support from magnesium hydroxide and pectin for approximately 4 hours. If you give two doses within 24 hours, the remaining ingredients will continue working throughout that period. For optimal long-term hindgut support, we recommend using DigestiveHP alongside Stress Paste.
Stress Paste is best used multiple times to help manage stress and maintain hydration before, during, and after competition.
Here’s the recommended protocol:
- 1 full serve the night before competition – to prepare the gut and support hydration.
- 1 full serve 30 minutes to an hour before the competitive event - to help maintain focus and gut comfort.
- 1 full serve the night after the competition - to support recovery and appetite
- For multi-day events, you can provide ½ serve 2-3 times daily and can be timed 30 to 60 minutes before competition timing.
- Finally, if your horse isn’t eating or drinking – give a full serve to encourage appetite and hydration.
The serving size is 60 ml for horses over 400kg or 30 ml for horses under 400kg. This routine ensures your horse stays comfortable, performs at their best, and recovers well after competition.
While you may see similar benefits with these products, their intended usage is what makes DigestiveHP and StressPaste fundamentally different.
DigestiveHP is the daily gut-health supplement that supports your horse through their day-to-day stressors, to keep them healthy, happy and performing at their best.
Stress Paste plays best in instances of acute stress, designed to deliver immediate gut and nervous system support in the face of high impact events including competition, travel and extreme weather. StressPaste is also recommended when first starting DigestiveHP to provide that extra buffer support at the very beginning.
Conveniently formulated in a concentrated paste, Stress Paste is easy to give ahead of known or predicted stressful events.
Yes, you can use more than one tube of StressPaste per day in situations like prolonged travel, competition, illness, ulcer treatment, extreme weather, or endurance events. In extreme cases, use up to 1.5 tubes per day for horses under 400kg and up to 3 tubes per day for horses weighing above 400kg. (This serving rate should not exceed two consecutive weeks.)
Stress Paste can be used daily during periods of acute stress, such as travel, competition, illness, or recovery. If used for more than five days, it’s best to taper off gradually by reducing to a half dose for two days, then a quarter dose for four days to allow your horse’s natural vitamin C production to normalize.
No, for one-off use, the full serve should be given at once to achieve maximum effect. Splitting the dose is not necessary in these situations.
