Long before we all started relying entirely on medication and supplements from vets and shops, the gathering and use of herbs was quite normal – not only for livestock and pets – and our ancestors passed on their knowledge of common herbs to their children.
Well, somewhere down the line, we have lost all that – even though, the use is quite often very straight forward and could save you a trip to the vet!
I am not promoting the use of herbs over prescribed medication since many conditions do require a thorough investigation and treatment, but, many conditions are a product of modern feeding & housing of domestic animals. It’s not a major secret that the life and management of a modern domestic horse is a far cry from being perfect – not enough grazing time, too much hard feed, and certain training regimes can have a huge impact on a horse’s health. I am fully aware of the fact that it is not always possible to make changes, the use of herbs in our horse’s diet is easy.
I have listed the most common herbs, herb combinations and their use, as well as additional information on planting and harvesting your own herbs. Dried herbs can be purchased at the EquiFitness online shop, or other specialised retailers.
