Agnus castus dried berries
A horse may select Agnus Castus when presenting the following symptoms:

Agus castus is also available as a powder and is listed in our Powders category
There is a significant amount of anecdotal evidence to suggest that when Agnus Castus berries (also called Chaste berries for obvious reasons!) are fed to a horse when not selected (ie hidden in feed) then a horse may become very aggressive.
