Calming Paste

Question
I need to if it is ok to give a pregnant mare calming paste?  In 2 days I am transporting the mare and a colt. I understand that the colt will be fine but I haven't been able to get a clear answer about the mare.  Your help would be very appreciated.

Answer
There should be very little chance of the paste harming the mare or foal. If you think your mare would be a better traveller if given the paste then go ahead and give her some before departing. She will be less likely to become upset during the trip and the foal will not be stressed as badly either...

Good luck
