Why Feed Valerian Root?

Valerian root is used to help calm anxiety, nervousness, fear and stress, particularly when it is connected with competition, showing, previous bad treatment, fear of loud noises such as thunderstorms and fireworks, or the introduction of new training. Valerian Root is the ideal supplement for supporting a healthy balanced nervous system.

We also offer this supplement as a powder

This product can be mixed with your horses daily feed at the following amounts:

Feeding as an Infusion

Many herbs, including Valerian Root, can be fed as an Infusion, this helps the active ingredients become more readily available and more easily absorbed by your horse. 

  1. Put the daily required amount of herbs in a bucket (quantities stated above)
  2. Add 1/2 pint (300ml) of boiling water to the herbs, mix and then allow to cool
  3. When cooled, the whole infusion (including the herbs) can be used to dampen down your horses feed.

If you don't have access to a kettle you can just soak your herbs overnight and this will also help your horse absorb the natural vitamins, minerals & active ingredients.
