You will receive the feeding schedule by email
This herbal blend consists of carefully selected botanical ingredients such as stinging nettle, turmeric, devil’s claw, garlic and black pepper. The blend is supplied as a pack of loose herbs, so you can mix it yourself.
A course of herbal treatment should not be given for more than six consecutive weeks. After that, take a break of 4–6 weeks or alternate with individual herbs to encourage natural eating behaviour.
Herbal supplements do not have an immediate effect. A horse usually needs a few weeks to get used to a herbal mixture.
External use:
1. Green XL Horse Shampoo – for full-body care
A biodegradable foaming cleanser containing probiotics. This shampoo helps maintain a healthy skin balance and removes trapped dirt.
Directions for use: Wash once; if the result is unsatisfactory, repeat after a week.
Variations in the consistency of the shampoo are normal; this is because it is a natural product containing no artificial thickeners. The shampoo does not lather either.
2. Green-XL Leg Cleaner – for legs and coat
Helps keep socks and skin clean.
Directions for use: Spray on 3 times a week. If there is a lot of wallpaper, lift the hairs and spray underneath the socks.
3. Neenzalf – a nourishing ointment for sensitive skin
Directions for use: Apply a thin layer to clean skin 1–2 times a day.
Important to know
This is a natural care kit and not a medical treatment. If in doubt or if symptoms persist, always consult a vet.
The products have been formulated on the basis of practical experience with horses that are sensitive to heat, sweat or environmental factors.
Why herbs?
In the wild, horses seek out certain plants themselves. In our stables, they do not have that choice, which is why herbs are a valuable supplement. They gently support the body, promote balance and help the system to find calm. That is why many horses respond well to botanical herbs during periods of skin sensitivity or stress.
Quality of the herbs
The herbs from Paardenkriebels.nl are botanical, pure and sourced from reputable suppliers. We make a conscious choice to prioritise quality, because only herbs with a high content of active ingredients can really make a difference.
Using herbs for horses – safe or not?
Horses often respond well to herbal remedies. They can help restore the body’s balance. Never exceed the recommended dosage and build up the dose gradually. When using herbal remedies, improvement is usually gradual, particularly when a problem has been present for some time.
Natural ≠ always harmless. Some herbs can be harmful if used incorrectly. Combining herbs with conventional medicines can affect their efficacy or lead to complications (such as severe colic). You should therefore always consult your vet before using them if your pet is on medication, is pregnant or is ill.
Be aware of a possible allergic reaction (known as ‘nettle rash’). In rare cases, small bumps may appear all over the body. If this happens, stop using stinging nettle; the bumps will disappear.
