It's baaaaaaack!!! 25kg bags of PractiCAL are back in stock!
We appreciate everyone's patience while we get back on track after the flood... we're nearly back in full swing, and stock is on its way every day, so stay tuned for full stock levels on the website again soon 🙌

Exciting news! We'll have our local pickup location at the Saddle & Soul Equine Centre (near Murwillumbah) very soon! You'll be able to come for a browse and receive in-person guidance about your horse's wellbeing 🙌
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

As we ring in the New Year, it’s important to remember that loud fireworks and celebrations can be stressful for our horses. Here are some simple ways to keep your equine friend safe and comfortable:

✅ Keep Them Calm: Use natural calming remedies and stick to their usual routine to reduce anxiety.

✅ Create a Safe Space: Whether stabled or in the paddock, ensure their environment is secure and free from hazards. If possible, keep them with their herd or paddock mates to help them feel safe and calm during the celebrations.

✅ Stay Nearby: Monitor your horse closely for signs of stress, such as pacing or sweating, and be ready to provide comfort if needed.

✅ Hydration & Comfort: Make sure they have plenty of fresh water and hay to keep them occupied.

✅ Consider Relocation: If your horse is known to struggle significantly with the noise and lights of fireworks, consider temporarily moving them to a quieter location away from the area for the night to ensure their safety and comfort.

Happy New Year, from all of us at The Equine Apothecary ❤️
