My Happy Mare – herbal blend for mares

My Happy Mare is a plant-based blend containing several herbs, designed to complement the diet of moody mares on a seasonal basis or as part of the daily diet.

Variations in the annual cycle, seasons, and environmental factors are part of a mare's normal physiology. Many horse owners recognise that these periods can be reflected in the mare's daily life and behaviour. At such times, dietary variety, balance, and the rotation of plant-based feed ingredients become especially important as part of the overall approach.

My Happy Mare is a carefully composed herbal blend suitable for use especially during seasonal changes or when you want to add herb-based variety to the diet in connection with the natural cycle. The blend is incorporated as part of a balanced diet, taking into account feed quality, fibre structure, and individual needs.

My Happy Mare contains: chasteberry, chamomile, lemon balm, valerian, yarrow, raspberry leaf, vervain, and a pinch of love 🧡

These herbs provide compounds naturally found in plants, such as polyphenols, flavonoids, essential oils, and plant fibre as part of normal nutrient intake. The herbs have been selected to complement each other and form a versatile blend for the feeding of mares.
