Preventing resistance dip? Choose nettle and rosehip!

At the end of winter/in early spring, many horses experience a dip in resistance. Horses are shedding their winter coat and preparing themselves for spring. This is also a period where there can be significant temperature differences, with frost at night and temperatures above 10 degrees during the day. But how can you prevent a resistance dip in your horse?

Liquid rosehip for extra antioxidants and vitamin C

Rosehip is a fruit known for being very good for overall resistance and many horses find it very tasty! Many horse owners give these fruits in dried form, and it is a delicious treat for horses. But if you really want to use rosehip for its medicinal properties and truly boost your horse's resistance, always choose a liquid rosehip tincture. Through a tincture, more medicinal substances can be extracted from the fruits, making the effect much stronger than with fresh or dried products.

Liquid rosehip can be easily added to the feed for horses, and almost all horses find it very tasty! A three-week course is usually sufficient to give your horse a little extra support in resistance, but you can also continue to give it longer in case of illness. Do you have a mineral buffet for your horse? Then also add rosehip to a bucket!

Liquid nettle for digestion and blood purification

Many people see nettle as a weed and it can indeed spread rapidly and overrun pastures. However, nettle is truly a fantastic herb with enormous medicinal properties. Horses love to eat it in dried form, but often it is not potent enough when a horse has a problem or condition. Just like rosehip, liquid nettle is much more powerful and has a greater medicinal effect. Nettle can be seen as a boost for overall resistance and also as a mild cleanser. It purifies the blood, making it easier to eliminate any waste products. In addition, nettle supports the intestinal flora, helping to resolve mild digestive problems.

Liquid nettle can also be added to the feed, or through a mash, and can also be used in a mineral buffet.

Be ahead of a resistance dip!

It is not necessary for a horse to have a dip in its resistance. Often this can be prevented by intervening in time. Regularly (every 3 months) give a course of liquid nettle and rosehip. Also, remember to ensure that your horse receives enough vitamins and minerals through a balancer. But most importantly: provide good quality, unpacked hay! Roughage is the basis of every horse, and unpacked hay is truly the key to a healthy digestion and thus a good resistance. Additionally, it is important to carefully observe your horse. Not every horse is suitable to stand in the winter without a blanket or to live outdoors 24/7 without adequate shelter.

Liquid nettle and liquid rosehip are suitable for all types of horses! For young and old, for thick and thin, and also for pregnant mares.
