Calming a nervous show goat

I have a first freshener that we plan to show next weekend. We have been working with her as far as setting her up in the show ring. The problem is that she wont stay still for longer than a second! I wonder if there is anything you can give them-herbs etc., that would calm them down a little. Anyone have any tips?

  • You could try Bach Rescue Remedy tincture.  It has been said to calm people and animals, and I even read of one lady who gives it to her doe before milking.  She said it really helps her to relax.  I haven't tried it yet, but I think I might give it a try if I have a goat that has to go through some stress, and also want to try it for my dog who is terrified of storms, fire works and gun shots.  Best wishes in the show ring! :)
