✨Introducing the w**d wagon.
Today I want to talk about one of my favourite herbs that will always be in the w**d wagon, Nettle.
Nettle – a must-have herb for your horse 🌿
Nettle is one of the most valuable herbs you can feed simple, nourishing, and incredibly supportive.
🥶Coming out of winter, it’s especially useful for helping horses transition into spring. It supports the body as they start to shed their winter coat, and really helps bring that healthy shine back through.
If you’re looking for a glossy coat and summer dapples, nettle is a great one to have in the mix.
🦴It’s also a particular favourite of mine for older horses, especially those that may have stiffness or joint issues, as it supports circulation,overall vitality and is mineral rich.
💚 Why use nettle?
Rich in minerals to support overall health
A natural blood builder
Supports coat, skin, and vitality
Helpful for older horses and joint comfort
Great for bringing horses back up after winter
🐴 How to use
Feed dried nettle daily half a cup daily.
Or forage fresh, just let it wilt to remove the sting before offering.
Nettle says "let me rebuild you".
Always start with small amounts.
