Nettles are a rich source of vitamin C, iron, sodium, chlorophyll, protein and dietary fibre. This makes them ideal as a spring tonic and general blood cleanser and conditioner. Feeding Guidelines: Feed 20-30g daily Feeding as an Infusion Many herbs, including Nettle, can be fed in their dried form, but this may mean that it sometimes takes a while for full benefits 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.
