Herbal Breathe 200g

This pack is ideal for using with a water buffet, or as a smaller taster sample pack.

Water buffets are becoming more common as a creative way to encourage horses to drink more, and offer additional paddock enrichment, particularly for horses on track systems. Alongside their normal source of water, a selection of flavoured waters offer variety, interest and behavioural and well-being benefits.

Herbal Breathe is a blend of natural herbs that compliment each other to help your horse's respiratory system.

Also available as a BETTER VALUE LARGER 1.8KG PACK

It is an equal blend of echinacea root, garlic, aniseed and liquorice. For best effects, feed as an infusion (see below)

Echinacea

Echinacea has traditionally been to support the immune system.

Garlic

Garlic is one of the original horse supplements and its health benefits are widely known. It is recommended as a general tonic to help the horse’s natural immune system.

Aniseed

It can support the respiratory system .


Liquorice root

Liquorices root's demulcent action is excellent for soothing the respiratory system.


Feed 30-50g daily, depending on the size of the horse


Feeding as an Infusion

Many herbs, including HERBAL BREATHE, can be fed in their dried form, but this may mean that it sometimes takes a while for full effects to be seen.

There is a way to speed up the effect! By simply making an infusion with the herb, the active constituents are made more readily available and are more easily absorbed by the horse.

Ideally, add a ½ litre/pint of boiling water to the herbs to be given that day. When cooled, the whole infusion (including the herbs) can be used to dampen down the horses feed. If access to a kettle is not practical, soaking overnight in cold water will also help to release the active constituents.
