 Creating a simple herbal enrichment water bar is one of our favorite ways to support hydration, curiosity, and sensory enrichment during the warmer months.
Try offering a few separate buckets alongside fresh plain water with gentle herbal infusions like: - Peppermint -Chamomile -Hibiscus -Lemon balm You may be surprised by what your horses choose. In the wild, horses naturally seek variety through plants, minerals, scent, and seasonal browsing. Offering herbal waters is a beautiful way to honor that instinct, encouraging autonomy, engagement, and whole-body wellness. A few reminders: Always provide plain fresh water alongside Keep infusions light and simple (even adding 1 handful of herbs to a bucket of water will work) Observe preferences without forcing intake Refresh herbal water daily or at the end of each day, herbs will begin to ferment in warm weather and spoiled water should never be left for your horse to drink Let us know in the comments if you try this with your horse!

 Show season is hard on more than just your schedule. Trailering, schedule changes, new water, performance pressure, it all adds up, and your horse's digestive system feels every bit of it. Stress is one of the leading triggers for gastric ulcers in performance horses, and most owners don't catch it until they're seeing attitude changes, poor performance, or weight loss. Our Equine Gastric Support formula was built for horses that live this life, reformulated with herbs for inflammation, mucosal protection, and hind gut support. Licorice free and show safe, so you can use it all season long without worry. Shop Equine Gastric Support here: Questions about what's right for your horse?
