Description
Horse Straights Direct Calm & Focus Infusion Herbal Teabags
Horse Straights Direct Calm & Focus Infusion is a herbal blend of chamomile, lemon balm, vervain and marigold that is brewed like a tea and poured over your horse's feed. It is designed to help promote relaxed, settled behaviour, and is best for horses and ponies that become tense, nervous or unfocused during everyday work or times of change.
Each pack supplies 30 portions at 30g per day for a 500kg horse and includes three reusable teabags. The whole infusion, herbs included, is fed once cooled, which also helps moisten dry feeds for fussy eaters.

FAQ
What is Horse Straights Direct Calm & Focus Infusion?
It is a herbal complementary feed made from chamomile, lemon balm, vervain and marigold. The herbs are steeped in hot water to make an infusion that is cooled and poured over the horse's normal feed, including the herbs themselves.
How much do I feed and how long does a pack last?
The feed rate is 30g per day based on a 500kg horse, and each pack provides 30 portions. Adjust proportionally for smaller ponies or larger horses and introduce the blend gradually over several days.
Can I feed it if I compete?
Some herbal ingredients are restricted under FEI and British Dressage rules, so check the current prohibited-substances list before feeding any herbal calmer if you compete.
Will my horse eat it?
Feeding the infusion with the herbs included dampens the feed, which most horses accept readily. For fussy feeders, start with a half portion mixed into a well-damped feed and build up.
Do I have to use boiling water?
No. If a kettle is not available on the yard, soak the herbs overnight in cold water and feed the whole soaked mixture instead.
Why does the colour of the herbs vary?
The product contains natural ingredients, so colour, aroma and consistency can vary from batch to batch. This is normal and does not affect how you use it.
