8-10cc doses per tube
Gear down is formulated to balance the behavior during daily performance. It helps in assisting the horse through times of training, competition, hauling, and form of stressful activities. Gear down is a paste that is provided 3-5 hours before competition/ training to assist in taking off the nervous edge without taking away your equine athletes competitive edge or ability to compete at a top level.
The Gear Down paste is recommended for horses that need this type of assistance while competing/hauling rather than on a daily basis.

I saw a big difference in my gelding after just two days on Gear Down paste. He was level headed and rode around much quieter. I will be buying some more for my other horse to. Thanks Laney Fowler for hooking me up. LF

My full story on Gizmo is on the daily pellet of gear down, but I’ll say this paste is everything. If you know Giz you know how skittish and know how crazy it is that he loves the paste and actually will steal the tube from me. It’s honestly like that extra little confidence boost and focus he needs to not be scared of everything. With the gear down paste he stands tied even with people loping up on him, trailers flying by, other horses getting loose, and handles situations such as steers in the alleyway that in the past he’d freak over. I can’t say enough good things about gear down, how thankful I am for it and CEP, and how much it has helped Giz just love getting to be a barrel horse.

I was so excited to try this paste but was instantly let down. The first time trying it I noticed it was extremely hard to push out of the tube and had to try extremely hard to push it into my horses tongue to make sure she kept it. I saw absolutely no change and honestly felt my mare was more neurotic than usual. The second day was even more disappointing. Not only was it extremely hard to push out, it isn’t palatable and unless you can really get in your horses mouth to push it down into their cheek or tongue. All my horse had to do was barely open her mouth and it all came falling out in clumps as I tried to give it to her.
I was told by the rep you can also use it as a top dressing on grain, but I feel like that defeats the purpose of a pre performance paste.
All in all, I doubt I’ll even try using the rest of the tube and felt it was a waste of money and am super disappointed.

I use this paste on every horse we haul to rodeos. Calf horses and barrel horses benefit from this. You get the focus on their job without losing any fire or stamina! They love it too!! They literally take the tube from me.

Gear Down paste has helped tremendously on my barrel horses and helps them keep the focus without taking out any run! They try to eat the whole tube when I give it to them, and love the results I see.

I will never run my mare without Gear Down on board. It’s taken her from overly anxious and unfocused to a horse that’s focused and ready to do her job. It doesn’t take away her run, it’s affordable and there aren’t any fillers. I’ve tried other calming pastes and none of them even touch Gear Down’s effectiveness.

The Gear Down paste is a must-have in my barn and on the trailer. We’ve had excellent results! It helps our young horses hauling to new places, helps them not get overwhelmed with all the new scenery like scary barn banners, announcers, busy warm up pens…. They just adjust faster with SO much less anxiety and way more confidence in their job. I also won’t leave home without Gear Down for my busy-pants Gelding. It just helps him focus and think, and it lessens the insane fidgeting antics , which just makes for smoother and faster runs and less anxiety over all!

I live by this paste! Gear down is easy and affordable! The one thing I like about this paste is the horses love it! I constantly keep this stocked up in my trailer! It is my go to as I have a very anxious barrel horse! I give him a dose of this about 6 hours before we run and it takes the edge off but keeps his run!

I love the Gear down paste, it’s a must have in my trailer! I just started using it at the beginning of the year and I’m so glad I did! I used it on my 4 year old mare this summer while rodeoing and it helped her focus with everything going on around her!

This was the first CEP product I tried, I fell in love instantly. The change in my mare was unreal. I now feed Gear Down daily alone with other CEP products!

The gelding is 100% a different animal. We use the paste as he only needs the help at shows. He used to let his nerves get to him and eat away his confidence. With Gear Down, his nerves are not an issue. It took away the anxiety with out taking away the run. Has also helped the other gelding with traveling anxiety!
