Recover…one of our most underrated products because you don’t “notice” much but the work it does is so incredible.

Recover doesn’t give you a dramatic “wow.” It gives your horse a stronger future. Post run lung stress is invisible but real. Especially when you are competing multiple days in a row. Recover repairs the micro damage you don’t see, before it becomes big time damage.

No hype. No gimmicks. Just cleaner recovery, stronger capillaries, and long term lung protection. If you don’t notice anything, that means it’s working. ✨

When looking at pre run products, the goal should be to stabilize and support your horse during the run. You don’t want them clearing their lungs, coughing up mucous, etc right before their run. Why? Because anything they’re “clearing” in that moment is inflammation, irritation, or congestion that’s already there and once they start coughing or blowing hard, that’s going to cause more damage than good during performance.

Pre run support shouldn’t create a dramatic change. It should create consistency, steady airways, calm gut, and smooth circulation.

That is what Breathe Prime is for. We don’t suggest giving the normal Breathe or Breathe Ultra (or most of the daily respiratory products out there) within 4 hours of a run because you don’t want that movement in the lungs. A good time frame on race day for Breathe and Breathe Ultra is either 6+ hours before a run, or that night after a run. You want a product like Breathe Prime in those 1-4 hours pre run. Its formulated completely different than the daily Breathes. Its main job is to stabilize and strengthen the capillaries, support healthy blood flow to the lungs and muscles, reduce the chance of micro bleeds under pressure, and improve oxygen delivery efficiency. It also helps support gut comfort during the run with a few digestive herbs that are in the formula.

My goal when I made this company wasn’t to pretend I’m magically making some crazy unheard of formulas that’ll be a one and done and fix your horse for good. I don’t advertise that way. And never will. My goal was to make affordable products, with formulas that I personally feel make the most sense, that give horses back what evolution intended for them…the plant diversity, physiological support, and natural balance they would’ve looked for that modern management has taken away.

I started this company because I wanted to do something with my life that felt good. That I truly believed in. That I felt God had called upon me. This company feels like home to me. I wake up everyday ready to continue learning more and helping people and horses the best that I can with the knowledge I’ve gained.

I get asked a lot how often to keep a horse on a product. Or how long they need a herbal supplement.

Horses don’t “finish” needing support.
They don’t outgrow their genetics.
And they don’t evolve fast enough to match the modern world we’ve put them in.

There isn’t some fancy formula that’ll instantly fix the cause of their problems and make them forever go away. It takes time. Time, patience, and hard work getting to the cause of their issues. The goal is to consistently give them the internal balance they need through herbal support. Find the weak spots in your horse and support those.

Will Happy Feet genetically fix a horse with weak feet? No, genetics are genetics. But will it support that horse’s natural weak spot and help them stay more comfortable, balanced, and functional? Absolutely.

If a performance horse is bleeding (EIPH), coughing, etc, do you have to find the root cause of that? Absolutely. But that root cause is different for every horse and it’s not just going to be a one supplement fixes it type of deal. A lot of the times it’s not even that their lungs are the actual issue. That can often be secondary. I just had a personal horse that I thought had lung issues that started to bleed. But here it started bleeding due to anxiety from pain that the horse wasn’t outwardly showing. It can be a long path to find the fix, but it’s a path well worth going down.

Now are formulas, such as the detoxes, constantly needed? No. That’s where you have to have a plan. Know that you want to run a detox through your horse every spring and/or fall. Know that you want to do a parasite cleanse 1X a year, etc. I make plans with all of my horses. And usually all of their plans are very different depending on the horse as well.

Herbs aren’t a temporary fix, they’re a lifelong biological requirement.

Evolution hard wired horses with weak spots

Every horse carries predisposed genetic weaknesses whether it’s respiratory, vascular, metabolic, gut, or stress related. These aren’t flaws. They’re simply the result of evolution shaping horses for a world that no longer exists.

These tendencies don’t disappear with age, training, or supplements. They’re part of the horse’s blueprint and they need lifelong support.

Modern life removed the plants their bodies expect.

For millions of years, horses survived by eating diverse plants, not just grass. Their organs, hormones, immune system, and digestion evolved around

• shrubs
• roots
• bark
• flowers
• wild herbs

Today’s horses get 2 to 5 plant species instead of 30 to 40+. That gap doesn’t close on its own.

Herbs fill the space evolution left behind.

They’ll always need “something”

the pressures never stop-

• training
• hauling
• dust
• heat
• confinement
• processed feeds
• environmental irritants

And their genetic weak spots don’t magically strengthen with time. They need ongoing, targeted support to keep those systems stable.

Herbs don’t “fix” a horse.
They maintain the systems that keep them sound, comfortable, and able to perform. Herbs don’t force a change like a drug. They restore the conditions the body needs to heal itself.

The Truth Most People Don’t Realize

Your horse will always need support in some way…not because they’re broken, but because they’re living in a world their biology wasn’t built for.

I’ve been getting asked A LOT lately what to do after an EIPH episode!! First, do not give the daily Breathe or Breathe Ultra. Give Breathe Recover immediately and the next morning. Then give Prime and Recover daily & follow this ⬇️

For people that don’t know what EIPH is-

During a hard run, pressure inside the tiny lung capillaries gets extremely high. Those vessels can rupture, and blood leaks into the air spaces and small airways.

After an EIPH episode, the lungs go through a healing sequence:

⏺️Days 0–7: Acute damage phase

▶️Broken capillaries
▶️Fresh blood in the airways
▶️Strong inflammation and irritation

⏺️Days 7–30: Repair and remodeling phase

▶️Macrophages are clearing blood and iron
▶️Capillary walls are trying to repair and remodel
▶️The tissue is fragile and easier to re‑injure

This is why horses are more likely to re‑bleed if they go right back to full work without a structured recovery phase. Or if you just continue riding/running them without any sort of protocol. Their lungs will continue bleeding and create SO much scar tissue it’s going to be hard to ever bring them back.

The first 30 days you DO NOT want to use the daily Breathe or Breathe Ultra. Here’s why⬇️

❌The focus is on blood vessels, not airways, for 30 days

EIPH is primarily a vascular problem, not an airway problem

❕The injury is in the pulmonary capillaries and veins
❗️The consequence is blood and inflammation in the airways

⭕️So in the first month, the priority is:

▶️Stabilize and repair the capillaries
▶️Calm inflammation
▶️Let the lung tissue remodel without extra “noise”

➖Airway herbs are great for

✖️Mucus management
✖️Bronchial tone
✖️General airway comfort

‼️But they do not directly repair capillary damage. In the first 30 days they can change airway tone, mucus movement, and inflammatory signaling in a lung that’s trying to heal. In other words, they can cause more harm than good.

🛑What Prime is doing in that first 30 day window

❕Supports healthy blood vessels in the lungs

❕Nutrients and botanicals that help keep capillary walls more resilient under pressure

❕Helps manage oxidative stress from a bleed

❕Bleeding and high‑intensity work create a lot of oxidative load, Prime helps buffer that

❕Promotes more stable blood flow during work

‼️Prime is there to support the tiny blood vessels in the lungs so they’re less likely to bleed again when your horse goes back to work

🛑What Recover is doing in that first 30 days

❕Supports capillary repair after they’ve already been stressed or ruptured

❕Helps calm inflammation triggered by blood and irritation in the lungs

❕Supports clearance of leftover blood byproducts (like iron/hemosiderin) through normal immune and lymphatic processes

‼️Recover is what we use after a run or EIPH episode to help the lungs settle down, repair, and clear the irritation from a bleed.

Together, Prime and Recover create a consistent, vascular focused environment

❗️Prime ➖ prepare and stabilize
❕Recover ➖ repair and settle

❌Why the daily airway herbs are stopped for 30 days

❔The injury is in the blood vessels, not the bronchi. So the first month is about healing vessels, not “opening airways.”

❔The lungs need a quiet, predictable environment. Even gentle airway herbs can change mucus movement, shift airway tone, slightly alter inflammatory signaling….That’s fine in a healthy lung, but when healing the lungs, you want as few moving parts as possible.

🫶🏻So in short-

For the first 30 days after a bleed, we focus only on the blood vessels in the lungs. That’s why we use Prime and Recover and temporarily pause the daily airway herbs. Once the vessels have had time to heal, we bring the airway support back in.

⁉️When the daily herbs come back in

After that 30 days of vascular healing

❗️You reintroduce Breathe/Ultra as the daily airway formula
❗️Prime goes back to pre-run use
❗️Recover goes back to post‑run or heavy work days support

Personally, I like to continue using Prime and Recover daily on a horse that has bled. I just go down to 1 scoop of each after the first month. I don’t think there’s anything more important than protecting their lungs. And I also will use it a few times a week on my “non-bleeders” as well, even if they are on the Breathe or Breathe Ultra daily. As well as of course using it pre and post run on race days.
