Hi Liz, Just lurking here, but we also had a very hot QH we used for trails and we used the Quinnence and B-Plex and saw an amazing difference, he was such a pleasure to take to the trails. We have since quit the Quinnence and b-plex and are just using the Glanzen and he is still a very calm good boy. THANKS DR. GETTY, YOUR WORTH YOUR WEIGHT IN GOLD
Hi Liz and Vicky,
Thanks for the feedback on Quiessence and B vitamins (BPlex). The reason they work so well is because they address a borderline deficiency in the horse's diet. Each horse is unique and some horses have a higher need for particular nutrients than others, creating a deficiency that isn't remarkable, but there, nevertheless.
Congratulations on doing such a wonderful job with your horses! I know they appreciate you for it.
Happy Holidays! 
Dr. Getty
