The small daisy-like flowers of chamomile – called “Ground Apple” by the ancient Greeks because of their smell – are most noted for their calming, relaxing effects on both the digestion and the nerves. Chamomile, though, has a wide range of actions in the body… it is well documented as having anti-inflammatory activity and is also beneficial in reducing allergic responses as it contains a number of anti-histamine chemicals. In addition, it is recognised as being ulcer-protective through its healing effect on the mucosa of the gastro-intestinal tract.

Chamomile can be especially helpful for the tense, restless horse prone to nervous colic and scouring. Indeed, it has an affinity for relieving digestive tract and organ spasm and pain (more so than the muscle aches and pains associated with physical exertion). It supports the body’s skeletal structure through its calcium phosphate content, and in the case of skin allergies it can be applied externally (as a ‘tea’ rinse) to help reduce itching and irritation. Chamomile is mildly anti-microbial, assisting the body to destroy or resist pathogenic (disease-causing) micro-organisms.

Interestingly, bunches of chamomile were once consistently hung in stables to deter flies.

ACTIONS include: Anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, anti-microbial, bitter (digestive), carminative (eases flatulence and colic), sedative (reduces nervous tension), anti-allergenic, vasodilatory (widens blood vessels) and analgesic (pain relieving).

NOTE: Occasional hypersensitive reactions have been observed in the human population (amonst those who are allergic to members of the ragweed family), however this type of sensitivity is extremely rare.

This herb is primarily used to balance hormonal irregularities in mares, but can inhibit the sex hormones of stallions if their behaviour is thought dangerous or seen to be causing them a loss in condition.

Description
Vitex agnes castus

This herb is primarily used to balance hormonal irregularities in mares, but can inhibit the sex hormones of stallions if their behaviour is thought dangerous or seen to be causing them a loss in condition.

Useful on its own or in combination with herbs specific for hormonal balance.

Used for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, it is useful for treating pain in a range of joint and muscular problems. The bitter action of Devils Claw stimulates and tones the digestive system. As it is thought that most arthritic conditions are associated with poor digestion and absorption of food, Devils Claw has a stimulant effect on the stomach and gall bladder which contributes to its use as an anti-arthritic remedy.
Warning: Do not use in pregnant mares as it can stimulate the uterine muscle, and do not use on horses if there is suspicion of gut ulceration.

Garlic is one of the few herbs that are universally recognised and used. It is the most widely known and used herb in the horse world. Garlic is reputed to minimise intestinal worms (although it must not be relied upon as the sole means of worm control). Some insect repelling properties have been attributed to the feeding of garlic, however it seems this may be dependent on feeding garlic in its fresh, raw form.

Ginger is one of the world’s best medicines. Highly effective in treating travel sickness, ginger given before floating horses can help settle, and given on arrival can tempt a horse to eat.
The therapeutic benefits of ginger are largely due to its volatile oil and oleoresin content. Ginger is an excellent remedy for many digestive complaints, including nausea, colic, wind and indigestion. Its antiseptic properties also make it beneficial for gastro-intestinal infections. For the older, arthritic horse, ginger is a useful maintenance herb. It stimulates, circulates and helps blood flow to the surface, so can be an important remedy for chillblains and poor circulation to hands and feet.

Joint Supplement for Animals such as: dogs and horses.

Psyllium is high in fibre and mucilage and when combined with water it swells to many times its original size, becoming slimy and gelatinous. Diarrhoea is inhibited via the absorption of excess moisture and bulking up of faeces, and constipation is alleviated by the softening of stool and the promotion of bowel movement by the extra volume.
For horses, psyllium husk’s ability to pick up sand and move it through the gut is particularly valuable in the preventation and/or treatment of sand colic. Periodic addition of psyllium to the feed is practised in some sandy soil areas.

The finely powdered inner bark of the Red Elm tree, has been used by indigenous people for many years and is now employed by both herbal and orthodox medicines. Slippery elm bark powder is pale pink-brown in colour and its distinctive slimy and slippery texture, when mixed with moisture, it applied to conditions where mucous membranes are irritated/inflamed. This includes membranes of the respiratory and urinary systems as well as the entire gastro-intestinal tract, including the throat and oesophagus. For horses, slippery elm bark powder is most commonly used internally, to treat conditions such as scouring (diarrhoea) and gastric ulceration and as aftercare in some types of colic cases. It soothes and coats injured and inflamed tissues, helping them to heal and reducing the likelihood of scarring, as well as drawing out toxins and irritants. Externally, the bark powder is used for poulticing wounds/injuries.

Turmeric is a good source of vitamin B6, a high intake of which is associated with a lowered risk of heart disease.
Curcumin exhibits anticoagulant effects – allowing blood to flow correctly and inhibiting abnormal blood clot formation (thrombosis).
It is to that vivid yellow-orange pigment – curcumin – that potent therapeutic properties are attributed. It is powerfully antioxidant (significantly more so than vitamin E or C) and this ability to neutralise free radicals before they damage healthy cells and cell membranes, in conjunction with its anti-inflammatory effects (via a number of pathways), contribute to its role in preventing or alleviating an impressive array of conditions, including many cancers, arthritis, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, cardiovascular disease, liver ailments, and Alzheimer’s.
Turmeric assists with the following:
ARTHRITIS
CANCER
LIVER FUNCTION
GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT
CARDIOVASCULAR EFFECTS

in-sandout is the new intestinal sand removal solution for your equine partner. Sand ingestion leads to devastating issues in horses. Sand can be consumed inadvertently by horses that are maintained on sandy soils, short pasture or fed hay or grain in sandy areas. This sand then accumulates in the large colon. Problems associated with sand accumulation include chronic and intermittent diarrhoea, weight loss and colic. It may further impair gut health due to irritation and obstruction of the intestinal tract.

Research shows that psyllium husks & magnesium sulphate in combination, at a proper dosage, are effective at removing &, limiting accumulation of sand & mitigating sand-related issues. However, an issue with feeding psyllium husks on their own is many horses dislike the taste & texture of the high inclusion of this fibre.

in-sandout pellet is a sand removal solution that contains quality psyllium husks & magnesium sulphate with an optimised dosage regimen. in-sandout is formulated as a pellet with natural flavours & sweeteners for optimal intake & palatability.

Equest Plus Tape wormer for horses controls tapeworm in addition to all the other major gastrointestinal worms and bots. Equest Plus Tape is the only horse wormer that is long acting: re-treatment is recommended after 14-16 weeks compared to after 6-8 weeks with other wormers. This means fewer treatments per year and twice the time that pastures are left free of worm eggs.
Equest Plus Tape is also the only horse wormer to have a registered claim to control encysted small strongyles in a single dose. Small strongyle worms hibernate or encyst in the lining of the horses gut and can cause colic. While other horse wormers kill the small strongyle worms that are in the gut itself, Equest Plus Tape is the only wormer with a registered claim to also kill the encysted forms. This means that the life cycle is blocked at a much earlier stage and that no small strongyle worms can re-emerge and mature in the horses gut straight after worming. Equest Plus Tape is a unique gel formulation that dissolves rapidly on the tongue. The dial up syringe is designed with a narrow barrel to allow easy access into the side of the horses mouth and deliver the right dose every time. Equest Plus Tape is safe for pregnant mares and breeding stallions as well as foal over 4 weeks of age.
