Supplements are most commonly introduced to a horses diet to ensure your horse is getting a complete, well-rounded diet, to help aid and combat specific health concerns or to enhance performance. Further detail is below:

Complete Diet - Wild horses would graze 1000s of acres of land, eating a host of different grasses, herbs & soil types. This massive variation in diet ensured they received all the nutrients they needed. For your horse, grazing will be less diverse and can lack some of the vitamins & minerals needed to keep your horse healthy. Feeding supplements can help to bridge this gap and provide your horse with a great balanced diet.

Specific Health conditions – Supplements are often used to help address specific health conditions, for example itchy skin, stiff joints or laminitis. There is a wide selection of natural horse supplements available which can help to provide targeted relief for these specific issues. Many of our natural horse supplements contain herbs that wild horses would naturally seek out whilst grazing.

Performance – Horses that undertake strenuous exercise may also benefit from natural supplements to help replenish all the nutrients lost whilst exercising. These include things such as stamina boosting supplements, muscle and joint recovery supplements & supplements that provide electrolytes and minerals.

Generally we recommend you do not give your pregnant mare any herbs during the first three months of her gestation period, as this is the period that the major organs and skeleton are formed.

This varies according to each individual horse. Generally though you will need to give 2-3 weeks for dried herbs, however many of our customers have reported a beneficial effect after just a few days.

As all of our products are natural they can typically be used in conjunction with most prescription only medicines. We do always recommend double checking with a veterinary professional first. 

Simply put, Laminitis is an inflammation of the Laminae Tissue in the hoof. The Laminae tissue acts like Velcro to form a strong bond to hold the pedal bone in the correct position. Laminitis causes the Laminae to stretch, weaken and become damaged which can cause the pedal bone to move within the hoof, this can cause a lot of pain and make walking very uncomfortable.

Equine Cushing’s Disease (Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction) is a disease that involves the Pituitary gland, this gland is located at the base of the brain and produces hormones in response to brain signals. With Cushing’s, this normal hormone production is damaged, resulting in an excessive amount of hormones being produced. These hormones then enter your horse’s circulation and can affect the whole body.
