FAQ
What does dandelion root do for horses?
Dandelion root is a rich source of essential nutrients and is traditionally fed to aid a natural detox, helping to support liver, kidney and digestive function. It also provides natural electrolytes in the form of magnesium, potassium and calcium.
How do I feed the powder if my horse is fussy?
Mix it into damp or soaked feed rather than dry feed, and introduce it gradually over four to seven days. Damping the feed helps the powder cling to the fibre instead of being left in the bottom of the bucket.
Is it suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. It can be fed to horses, ponies, cobs and warmbloods, with the quantity adjusted to bodyweight according to the feeding guide on the pack.
Can I feed it if I compete?
Herbal supplements are not automatically permitted under affiliated rules, so check the current prohibited-substances list for FEI, British Dressage or your governing body before feeding if you compete.
Can it be fed alongside other supplements?
It is a single herb and is commonly fed alongside a balancer or other supplements. If your horse is on several products or receiving veterinary treatment, speak to your vet first.
How should I store it?
Keep the container sealed in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight, and always use a dry scoop so the powder stays free-flowing.
