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.
