When planted, our Herbal seed mix is full of vitamins and minerals that are perfect for your horse's diet and overall health.
Not only have we chosen this specific mix of herbs due to their benefits to horses but also due to the nutrient they give to the soil.
This mix can be sown across your entire paddock for a good mixed grazing, sown in hedge rows for a more controlled growth and can even be planted in large pots/ trays and given as an additional treat in your horses feed when fully grown.
We have two versions of this mixture available. Please select your desired mix from the drop down menu.

Chicory- A nutritious food source full of proteins and minerals. Chicory contains a balance of crude protein, energy and minerals, and is easily digested.
Burnet- The leaves and stems have excellent antioxidant properties. It can also be used to slow down internal bleeding as it is a blood adsorbent.
Ribwort Plantain- Actively sort after while grazing due to the delicious taste. Rich in vitamins and minerals that are required for general good health. Horses have been studied to seek out Ribwort when they are feeling digestive discomfort.
Sheep's Parsley- Not only a good vitamin and mineral mix but will also give your soil a boost in nutrient.
Yarrow- A natural tonic that helps boost the immune system, has anti-inflammatory properties and encourages the fast healing of wounds and blood clots. It has also been found to be a natural calmer for horses due to the smell.
Wild Carrot- A very palatable treat. You may notice your horse seeking out this sweet little treat when out hacking. Like Yarrow, small quantities can be enjoyed safely.
