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

StressPaste was developed in collaboration with leading microbiologists, veterinarians and equine nutritionists to deliver targeted gut support, hydration and optimal muscle function.
Our formula is built on cutting-edge research into equine gut health and stress response. Each ingredient plays a crucial role in protecting the stomach and maintaining a horse’s mental and physical wellbeing.

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.

What a real change in my horse’s attitude toward life. He is more settled, relaxed and ready to work. The biggest plus no more colicky issues!!! Both my horses have daily powder and I add paste when they travel and are at shows. We ask a lot from our horses and we should do the best we can for them.
My favorite product for stressful events, traveling and showing. Completely off of gastroguard and my horse’s gut and coat have never been better. Thank you!!!
We Love stress paste. It's helped all my horses whenever they've been off food, or travelling, or after a stressful event like a big race to ensure they keep eating and dont encounter other issues as a result of not eating or stress. Even after antibiotics it has helped. Highly recommend
The Stress paste and daily gut supplement has been an excellent addition to my pre race program. It helps to keep her calm and focused on her job as well as traveling to competitions and being away from home for extended periods. She continues to eat and drink and take it all in stride. Great product
I use StressPaste anytime I take them away for a long drive, it's a relief knowing their guts are protected
Stress paste helps keep my mare feeling comfortable when preparing for a run.
Stresspaste definitely makes a difference in my mares comfort level.
Stress paste really helps Hebreu manage the stress from trailering, being in a new show environment, and increased workload brings. We are using in addition to Digestive HP with great results.
This was Atillas second floating lesson
Amazing product, which has helped with the pressure of competitions.
Took my young mare out to her first Hack Show a week ago. Gave her stress paste before she left and she was so relaxed & well behaved & eating and drinking. Bonus was coming with Champion Led as well.
My pony was experiencing gut problems not maintaining weight and was moody
I use it before travelling to competitions. Keeps my 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.
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.
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.
Wonderfull product for a fresh mare
This mare is very fractious in the alley to the point that I need help holding her to mount in the alley and starting my run. I’ve tried many calming products to help with this issue (as well as training techniques of course). This weekend made a believer out of me as I was able to mount in the holding pen and did not need help getting to the alley. It did not seem to take any of the run out as she ran 3 consistent runs over the weekend and won money all 3 runs! I won’t be with out this product!
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.
Absolutely love the stress paste. My gelding gets the travel and show jitters and since being told about stress paste I use it before we load up and after we get back home or morning and evening at over night shows and he stays on his grain, actually rests and has plenty of energy next day as well as his poo staying solid! I was a believer after the first tube I used!
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
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.
Keeps my mare happy and healthy I will always have some on hand !!
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!
Love this product! A must have in my gooseneck for big comps like State and Aus Champs, especially when travelling a distance to attend. Brilliant product, highly recommend.
Love this product my mare was a very anxious/ anxiety/ pawing in float not eating not a happy girl !! Since I’ve been using RP and your paste she’s a much happier mare I will continue to purchase this product!! Happy horse Happy trainer
I have a riding pony that has just done his first show season very successfully, he is quite a nervous boy I couldn’t have done it without stress paste
I have a very sweet very anxious in the stall thoroughbred mare. She stress weaves in her stall so bad that she has no legs to work with for actually showing. Thanks to this paste I was able to get her through her last show with fresh legs and little weaving in the stall.
Did not do much
Great product!
I believed it worked well until I switched hay (gradually, as I was running low but not out) With this new hay the powder and paste are only showing a mild improvement.
I have an anxious horse with chronic ulcers. I put him on the gut reset, which starts with the paste, and I saw a positive change in the first 5 days.
Love your products
My only problem with your excellent product is that (1) my horse spits out about half every time I try to feed it to him, and (2) it is very expensive. But it helps him when he is dealing with new situations and that is wonderful. I keep it on hand.
The paste introduction went well. Ruby’s manure became that of a healthy horse. However, within two weeks of using the powder only her fecal water was back. (Exact same hay) I pasted her again and she was great for another week. The powder alone does not work with my horse.
We used it on our 12.1 Welsh pony, and it didn't help him at all. He was still really spooky and would not settle in his stall. He acted like he didn't get anything at all.
FAQ
Stress affects horses in many ways while some signs can be subtle, more obvious ones include anxious behavior. 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 Digestive HP 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 serving the Night Before Competition – to prepare the gut and support hydration.
- 1 full serving 30 minutes to an hour before the competitive event - to help maintain focus and gut comfort.
- 1 full serving the night after the competition - to support recovery and appetite
- For Multi-Day Events, you can provide ½ dose 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 serving to encourage appetite and hydration.
The serving size is 60 ml for horses over 850lb or 30 ml for horses under 850lb. This routine ensures your horse remains comfortable and performs at their best.
While you may see similar benefits with these products, their intended usage is what makes Digestive HP and Stress Paste fundamentally different.
Digestive HP 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.
Available in both 10lb bags and 40lb tubs, the powdered form makes it ideal to mix with feed.
Stress Paste works 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. Stress Paste is also recommended when first starting Digestive HP 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 Stress Paste per day in situations like prolonged travel, competition, illness, medical 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 or illness. If used for more than five days, it’s best to taper off gradually by reducing to a half serving for two days, then a quarter serving for four days to allow your horse’s natural vitamin C production to normalize.
No, for one-off use, the full serving should be given at once to achieve maximum effect. Splitting the serving is not necessary in these situations.
