Rosehips are a very useful anti-oxidant, and are often known as a ‘blood tonic’. They are very good at helping to cleanse the body of toxins, and support the kidneys, liver and circulatory systems. They are also nutritionally important for healthy hooves, bones, skin and coat

They are a very rich source of vitamin C, as well as vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavins, niacin and vitamin K. These help to support the immune system particularly useful for horses recovering from injury or illness.

Rosehips are one of the very best sources of natural Iron and Vitamin C. They also contain biotin for optimum hoof health.

Many owners of barefoot horses have seen a marked improvement in their horse hooves since feeding rosehips and a seaweed supplements (Check out my other items!)

Feeding guidelines:

15-20g per day, so a 900g pack can last up to 2 months

Feeding as an Infusion

Many herbs, including ROSEHIPS, can be fed in their dried form, but this may mean that it sometimes takes a while for an improvement 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.
