Why herbal mix for elderly horses?
Herbal mix pack for older horses: as horses get older, various bodily processes change. Digestion may slow down slightly, nutrients are absorbed less efficiently, and the immune system may need a little extra support. A suitable herbal supplement can help maintain vitality and comfort, ensuring that an older horse continues to feel fitter, more energetic and more balanced.
Horses in the wild naturally forage for a wide variety of herbs. On our pastures, that variety is often limited: not every herb grows in every type of soil, and there is usually not enough space to choose from. As a result, older horses may be missing out on that little bit of natural support.
A balanced blend of herbs can help to meet this natural need. By combining different herbs, you can provide broader support for the older horse’s general immunity, digestive system and overall wellbeing. This helps your horse age gracefully in a natural way, with a diet that is closer to nature.
Very important to know before you start using it:
- Always start with a small amount to see how your horse reacts to it.
- Never go over the indicated dosage.
- If your horse is taking medication, always check with the vet first whether it goes with the herbs.
- Not for horses with poor health.
- Safety first, which is why it is better not to give herbs when your horse is pregnant.

Is there a difference in quality of spices?
There is a wide variation in the quality of herbs available on the Dutch market. Paardenkriebels.nl sets high standards for the quality of the herbs and herbal blends featured on this website. The reason is that the active ingredients are present in high-quality herbs, sourced exclusively from reputable suppliers. With our herbal mix pack for older horses, we want the very 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, an allegic reaction ( called 'nettle rash') can occur in horses. The horse gets small bumps all over the body. If this happens, stop giving nettle; the bumps will disappear on their own within 24 hours.
Our herbal blend pack for older horses supports vitality and wellbeing from within.
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 usually disappear on their own within approximately 24 hours.
