Supporting Mares Through Every Stage of Life​
​
At Whole Horse Herbs, we know that mares are special. Their hormonal cycles, unique personalities, and life stages all bring challenges that can affect health, comfort, and performance. Some mares struggle with mood swings, irritability, or tension related to their cycle. Others, especially as they age, may need additional support for joint mobility, digestive health, and adapting to seasonal temperature changes.
These changes aren’t “problems” to be fixed—they’re natural transitions that simply require thoughtful care. That’s where herbal medicine shines.
With over 30 years of experience as a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, Gloria Garland, L.Ac., Dipl. Ac. & CH, has created a line of formulas designed specifically with mares in mind. Each blend draws on the wisdom of traditional herbal medicine combined with modern equine health knowledge.
✨ How Whole Horse Herbs Can Help:

• Hormonal Balance – Herbs that gently regulate cycles, ease tension, and support a calmer, more focused mare.
• Mobility & Comfort – Formulas to help keep joints supple and muscles relaxed, especially for older mares.
• Digestive Wellness – Gentle herbal support for healthy appetite and nutrient absorption.
• Seasonal Adaptation – Blends that help mares handle hot summers, cold winters, and everything in between.

And because no two horses are exactly alike, we offer custom formulas. If your mare has unique needs, we’ll work with you to create a personalized herbal blend tailored just for her.
At Whole Horse Herbs, our goal is simple: to help every mare feel her best, so she can shine in the pasture, on the trail, or in the show ring.

One of the most common reasons mares can become moody is the natural fluctuation of their hormones. Just like in humans, different stages of the reproductive cycle can create changes in hormone levels, sometimes leading to noticeable mood swings or behavioral shifts. In cases where these changes feel more extreme, nutritional support can make a real difference.
​
Vitex (Chaste Berry) is a well-known herbal supplement that may help balance hormone levels and promote a more even temperament in mares. Beyond supporting reproductive health, Vitex also offers valuable benefits for horses diagnosed with Cushing’s disease, making it a versatile addition to equine wellness programs.
