Why do horses need herbs?
Horses are naturally used to travelling kilometres sometimes for one specific herb. We, unfortunately, often cannot offer those herbs all in one place and not every herb grows on every type of soil. Unfortunately, it is not feasible for many people to adequately support their horses in this need, simply because there is not enough space/pasture. In order to give our horses the best possible base and meet their basic needs for vitamins, minerals and trace elements as much as possible.
It is important to give your horse herbs and to consider what you, as the owner, can do to bring its diet as close as possible to a natural diet. The CPL herbal mix has been developed for horses with thicker or sensitive legs.
Is there a difference in quality of spices?
There is a lot of difference in quality of herbs on the Dutch market. Paardenkriebels.nl sets high standards for the quality of herbs and herbal mixes on this website. The reason is that the active ingredients and it contains high-quality herbs, purely from reputable suppliers. We want the best for your horse.
Use of herbs for horses safe or not?
Horses respond particularly well to herbs. Herbs balance, balance the body but never go over the indicated dosage.
By using herbs, improvement in the health status of animals progresses gradually, especially when the discomfort or problem had been present for some time.
However, it is wrong to assume that anything natural is harmless! Some herbs can be highly toxic. Giving herbs together with regular drugs could possibly counteract the effect of the drugs or cause complications such as severe colic.
Very occasionally, horses may experience an allergic reaction (known as ‘nettle rash’). The horse develops k
Small bumps all over the body. If this happens, stop giving them nettle; the bumps will disappear on their own within about 24 hours.
