Yes, Horsegum is safe to use on competition horses and ponies and during competitions.

Horsegum stimulates your horse's chewing behavior and increases saliva production. This extra saliva is converted into foam which is an indication that the horse is relaxed.

It is recommended to give Horsegum to your horse before putting the bit in for better acceptance. If your horse accepts Horsegum easily, you can also give it after the bit is already in.
