herbal water bar

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
