FAQ
How much do I feed?
The feed rate is 30g per day based on a 500kg horse, giving 30 portions per pack. Scale the amount down proportionally for ponies and smaller natives.
Do I have to use boiling water?
No. The hot infusion method extracts the herbs quickly, but you can simply soak the herbs overnight in cold water instead, which helps your horse absorb the nutrients.
What is in the blend?
Nettle, rosehips, thyme and marigold. Because these are natural ingredients, the colour and consistency of the blend may vary between batches.
Can I feed it if I compete?
It is a herbal product, so check the current prohibited-substances list for your discipline and governing body before feeding if you compete under affiliated rules.
My horse is fussy - will it eat it?
The cooled infusion is poured over the feed and moistens it, which many horses accept readily. Start with a smaller amount mixed into a favourite feed and build up to the full portion over a few days.
Is this a medicine?
No. It is a herbal feed supplement that supports normal immune function as part of a balanced diet. Speak to your vet or nutritionist if your horse is on medication, in foal or fed a restricted diet.
