- Six horses galloping neck and neck, heads extended, nostrils flared, as they race across the plains. Lungs pulling in air to supply the muscles with vital oxygen. This is what we all love to see - the epitomy of equine health and fitness. It may be a native pony nimbly racing over rutted moorland, or a highly trained Thoroughbred galloping over the pristine turf of Ascot. Whatever the activity, for a horse to perform at its best it must have an efficient and healthy respiratory system, uncompromised by infection, irritation, inflammation, or residual mucus. Worldwide, air quality continues to deteriorate, leading to an increase in respiratory disorders in the human population. Our horses are no different, they breathe the same air as us and are proving to be just as susceptible to seasonal allergens as we are. Winter time brings its own set of problems, with reduced access to grazing and more hours spent in stables, often with restricted airflow which can contribute to poor respiratory health. To help you ensure that your horse’s respiratory system stays in optimum condition, we have formulated a range of dried and liquid herbal formulations, rich syrups, essential oil sprays, and homeopathics, to help your horse maintain a healthy respiratory system whatever the season.

Which is better - dry or liquid herbal products?
Neither one is better than the other, the simple difference is speed of initial absorption, with the liquid product being absorbed more quickly than the dry. Occasionally a horse or pony will respond better to a dry mix than a liquid, or vice versa, which just reminds us that horses and ponies are individuals. Some people prefer liquids as in the case of fussy feeders they can easily be syringed down the animal's throat with a small plastic syringe.
1. Its not unusual for your horse or pony to have a 'snotty nose' after a week or so being on Freeway, this is just an indication that the herbs are doing their job.
2. Liquorice has been used for both humans and animals for over 3,000 years, and was mentioned in ancient Greek herbal in the third century BC. Its main active constituent glycyrrhizin is responsible for the sweet taste and is over fifty times sweeter than sugar! Up until the 1940's liquorice was cultivated extensively in the north of England, this accounts for the famous Pontefract Cakes, a soft coin shaped liquorice sweet that was named after the Yorkshire town where they were made.
