🚨 It's happening folks - we're getting quite a number of Stringhalt cases being reported, particularly in the New England Region of NSW where it is dry, dry, dry. Unfortunately it seems that quite a bit of False Dandelion (also known as Flatweed or Catsear) is springing up and horses are eating it in otherwise bare paddocks.

🌱 We're shipping a bottle of the "Stringhalt" herbal remedy by Animal Naturopathics to a customer there today. We have ONE 500ml bottle left before we do a reorder. If you need it, please let us know ASAP so we can get it out to you. Link below.

‼️Remember, regularly check paddocks for weeds, and if your paddocks are bare, try to provide 24/7 access to hay to reduce the chances of horses grazing neurotoxic plants they wouldn't normally touch.

✨ A New Chapter for The Equine Apothecary ✨

You may have noticed that 2025 was a very quiet year for The Equine Apothecary. While orders continued to be shipped across Australia, we weren’t very present on social media as much of our focus had to shift elsewhere for a while.

Early last year, we took on Saddle & Soul Equine Centre, and managing a busy equine centre in the challenging Northern Rivers climate eventually took its toll. Between the constant wet weather, the associated horse health challenges, and the demands of running the centre, something had to give, and The Equine Apothecary was temporarily placed on the back burner.

But that season has now come to an end 🙌

Both The Equine Apothecary and Saddle & Soul Equine Centre have now relocated to Victoria, where we are settling into a far more peaceful environment in Glenrowan.

Thank you so much to everyone who has been patient while we navigated this transition, reduced stock levels to make the move easier, and worked through the logistics of relocating. Your continued support for natural, holistic horse care truly means the world to us.

This next chapter is an exciting one.

Behind the scenes we are now working on expanding our product range, introducing new natural equine health products, and continuing to grow The Equine Apothecary as a trusted resource for horse owners seeking a more natural approach to supporting their horses’ wellbeing.

There are some beautiful new additions coming soon… and we can’t wait to share them with you. In the meantime, thank you for your continued patience while we restock our shelves and prepare for the next stage of the journey.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. 🐴🌿
Stay tuned.

A little flood update while we're here - we're still in flood recovery mode, so we appreciate your continued patience while we get back on track with fulfilling orders. At the moment we're posting twice a week - Tuesdays and Fridays - but will be back to 5 days a week very soon. 🐴

‼️Attention customers -

Unfortunately The Equine Apothecary has been isolated by flooding associated with ex-tropical cyclone Alfred, so postage of orders will be delayed.

We've been without power, phone service and internet since last week. All services returned today (although we're still flooded in) and so we've only just received your orders.

We are *so* sorry, but shipments will be delayed while we get back online and catch up. Please contact us at [email protected] if you need to communicate with us about your order. Hopefully floodwaters will have subsided soon so we can get the post office.

We appreciate your understanding and again, we are very sorry for the inconvenience.

So sorry everyone - postage is going to be delayed this week while we focus on getting ready for the onset of cyclone Albert and preparing for potentially severe flooding in our area.

Please contact us at [email protected] with queries. If you need something urgently we'll do our best to find a way to get it to you.

We are so grateful for your continued support and appreciate your understanding. Fingers crossed this weather event doesn't end up being as severe as is currently forecast and hope that everyone (humans and animals) is able to stay safe. 🙏☔️

You may have noticed we've been a bit quiet lately... we've been busy packing up and moving! Never fear, we haven't gone far, but far enough for it to be a lot of work 🤪

We needed to run stock levels down a bit to help make the move a little less burdensome, but we're in the process of unpacking and setting things up again, and stock will be back on track soon.

❗️Online orders ARE still being dispatched as usual❗️

We have a couple of exciting things to share with you about our new location and new local pickup arrangements - stay tuned for an announcement soon! 🙌🐴

Hi everyone! For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Alana, the founder of The Equine Apothecary. Many of our local followers might already know a little about me, but I thought it would be good to share a little more about my background in natural health and horses, and how The Equine Apothecary came to be.

Horses have been a part of my heart and soul for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a 3,500-acre farm in Western Australia, I spent my childhood surrounded by horses and other animals —nurturing, rescuing, and building connections with them. My first pony, Wendamar Santos, taught me not just how to ride, but how to truly care for and understand horses.

Adult life took me away from horses for a while as I focussed on my career and family. During this time, I also deepened my knowledge and experience in natural human health, which gave me a strong foundation for understanding holistic care for animals too. But when my daughter fell in love with riding, I found my way back to horses —and my passion for natural care grew stronger than ever, now with a broader perspective on equine wellness.

I started The Equine Apothecary because I wanted to give horse owners the tools to care for their horses in a way that respects their unique needs. For me, it’s not just about addressing physical health challenges—it’s about supporting the whole horse: emotionally, physically, and mentally.

Every product and resource I’ve brought to The Equine Apothecary is something I believe in wholeheartedly. My goal is to make natural care accessible and empowering for horse owners everywhere, so they can build stronger bonds with their horses and help them thrive.

I believe that together, we can create a world where horses are cared for in ways that truly honour their wellbeing, allowing them to live healthier, happier lives.

Thank you for trusting me and The Equine Apothecary in being part of your horse care journey.

Warmly,
Alana
Founder, The Equine Apothecary
