Our eyes are the window to our soul and reflect our current state of health, so do the hooves. Deficiencies in diet can seriously affect the quality of new hoof growth leading to sensitivity in the sole and laminae. “No foot no horse” is such a true saying when it comes to ensuring the correct provision of herbs to support a healthy hoof.
Naturally Coat and Hoof blend has been formulated to provide nutritional support from natural plants that would have been eaten by horses roaming the land to optimise hoof health for both barefoot and shod horses.
Bladderwrack contains over 70 vitamins and minerals, providing the horse with exceptional nutritional support for a wealth of conditions, including supporting the coat and skin. Bladderwrack is also effective for ridding the body of toxins.
Cleavers are a powerful blood cleanser and diuretic herb making it them great lymphatic and kidney tonic. Rich in iron and silica they also support the liver, bones and skin. Silica helps strengthen and improve the condition of skin, bones and hooves by improving elasticity.
Hawthorn nutritionally supports the heart, nervous system, cholesterol & blood pressure. Hawthorn is an excellent heart tonic and boosts the circulatory system. It is also known for its antispasmodic, diuretic, nerve calming and cholesterol lowering properties. Hawthorn is known to increase the flow of blood through the heart, without increasing the beat or blood pressure, and will therefore aid circulation to the limbs and rest of the body.
Whole Rosehips are our most popular product as voted for by the horses! Rosehips are a very useful anti-oxidant, and are often known as a ‘blood tonic’. They are very good at helping to cleanse the body of toxins, and support the kidneys, liver and circulatory systems.
They are also nutritionally important for healthy hooves, bones, skin and coat. Rosehips contain an enzyme which, when digested, binds with the collagen enzyme in our bodies to stimulate production and increase the quality of collagen present.
They are a very rich source of vitamin C, as well as vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavins, niacin and vitamin K. These help to support the immune system particularly useful for horses recovering from injury or illness. Vitamin C helps fight off infection and strengthen and restore defences. Rosehips are a mild astringent and can be used for scouring. After a period of illness, rosehips can be combined with other herbs to help the horse recover and return to health.
Rosehips are one of the very best sources of natural Iron and Vitamin C. They also contain a natural biotin for the optimisation of hoof health. Many owners of barefoot horses have seen a marked improvement in their horse hooves when feeding a combination of rosehips and a seaweed supplement.
Naturally Animals herbal blends are 100% natural. Our herbs are wild grown with little or no cultivation or intervention. Our wide selection is based on our extensive zoopharmacognosy knowledge, providing all that is needed to satisfy a horse’s innate instinct for foraging plants to rebalance the body.
Our herbal blends nutritionally support the body, and should not be seen as an alternative to veterinary intervention. They are intended to bet used in conjunction with any ongoing veterinary support.
Daily recommended dose between 15 and 50g per day, depending on the size of horse and level of support needed.
We recommend that you offer the individual herbs within our blends periodically to ensure that the herbs are still required by your horse and that you are not feeding the herbal blends when they are no longer required.
