Why your horse needs herbs – if it were living in the wild

🌿 If your horse were to live in the wild… why it would need herbs
In the wild, a horse chooses for itself exactly what its body needs.

It eats not only grass, but also the leaves, flowers, seeds and roots of all sorts of herbs.
This natural variation helps the horse to maintain a balance in its immune system, digestion and skin condition — purely through the power of nature.
Our horses live very differently today. They are fed hay, some concentrated feed and perhaps a supplement, but that natural abundance of herbs found in the wild is often lacking.
As a result, many horses are missing out on the small amounts of plant compounds that help cleanse and repair their bodies and make them more resilient.
Why herbs are important for horses🐴
Supporting the immune system: herbs such as nettle and dandelion help to keep the body clean and support the elimination of waste products.
Healthy skin and coat: marigold and cleavers are known for their gentle effect on skin function.
Calm and balance: some horses are sensitive to stimuli or changes; natural herbs can help to keep the body better balanced in such cases.
Natural variation in the diet: by regularly offering a small amount of herbs, you mimic the horse’s natural feeding behaviour.
This way, your horse gets a taste of what it would naturally seek out in the wild. 🌿

💚 A conscious choice for indoors and outdoors
At Paardenkriebels.nl, we believe that true self-care comes from within and from without.
That’s why we offer individual botanical herbs — pure, unprocessed and sold loose, so you can mix and match to find the right combination for your horse.
No medical claims, but natural support for vitality, skin and immunity.
I myself started using Paardenkriebels with my own horses.
My Friesians and Tinkers taught me just how big a difference it can make when you let nature play a part in their daily care again.
From a dull coat or sensitive skin to a calm and contented horse — all thanks to small, deliberate changes using natural products.
I am now delighted to share that experience with other horse lovers.
Through my online shop, I want to show that natural skincare doesn’t have to be complicated, as long as you prioritise quality, care and balance.
☘️Because if you listen carefully to what your horse needs, nature often shows you the way.
I hope you find this useful.

Love, Monique from www.paardenkriebels.nl
