By simply making an infusion with the herb, the active constituents are made more readily available and are more easily absorbed by the horse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIdeally, 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Natural Horse Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58510819295563,"sku":null,"price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/naturalhorsesupplies.co.uk\/products\/herbal-calm-mag-ox-900g","provider":"Natural Horse Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
