🌱✨NEW BLEND✨🌱

Spring has sprung (almost!), and with it we have a new herbal offering to help your horse through the seasonal transition period.

'Cleanse' is a blend of eight gentle detoxifying herbal allies, that stimulate and support the liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system, helping the body to eliminate stored environmental toxins and metabolic waste, while providing natural prebiotics to aide digestion.

Including early season greens and roots such as nettle, dandelion, cleavers and burdock, Cleanse mirrors the natural early spring foraging profile available in the northern hemisphere, and is very helpful in facilitating the switch from hay to pasture.

(coincidentally also useful after a few too many winter wine and cheese evenings... 😉)

Recent trip to Saint-Lazare to offer herbal support to a beautiful herd, including some recently gentled US mustangs. It was especially lovely to have Dreamy and Nova approach of their own accord, and really get into the self-selection process!

Interestingly their choices mirrored each other, and focused on nervous system supportives, and herbs to help process and release previous emotional trauma.

Thanks so much to Madison, Monica, and ponies!

While we can often observe physical and behavioural improvements in horses shortly after incorporating appropriate herbs into their diet, it's great to see the long-term benefits confirmed in their bloodwork results.

See the client testimonial below for Sassy's success story, and how herbs have demonstrably helped in the ongoing management of her Cushing's symptoms.

We currently have a 10-day trial pack of our standard Cushing's blend available- drop us a line if you would like to try it out!

🌕 The last full moon of 2024 is this Sunday, Dec 15th... 🌕
.. did you know that it's also the best time of the month to offer your horse antihelmintic (anti-parasitic) herbs, as part of a holistic approach to gut health?

We currently have available a limited number of freshly-made packs of our herbal dewormer balls. They can be hand fed to your horse as a treat in conjunction with your regular deworming schedule; one per day for 5-10 days over the full moon period.

Message if you are interested in scooping up a pack!
