injected with ace, a horse sedative/tranquilizer. They ace your horse to perform surgery for instance. they inject a small amount to calm. one man told me he knows trainers who train with it. inject a small amount and when it is riding well with that, inject a slightly smaller amount every day til its getting by real well on no ace. Some give their horses nyquil. I gave stonewall Quietex one time and he started sweating and acting even crazier. I gave him magnesium supplement which is suppose to calm and in the pasture he was standing around like "I know I should be feeling SOMETHING but I cant remember what...." then when I rode him I noticed no change whatsoever. Thats when I gave up on calmers. I changed his feed once to a cheaper feed that made him a little more nervous and he really hurt me doing a 360 spin so I went back to the feed he is on now, which believe it or not he is relatively calm on.
