Meet our little golden flowers 🌼

Calendula has been used for centuries to help care for minor cuts, scrapes and irritated skin.

It’s one of those botanical ingredients with magical properties, which is why we’ve included it in our new product!

Made for those little whoopsies that come with horse ownership, Honey Aid is made from ingredients to help care for your horse’s skin, naturally.

A moment for Honey Aid… no hooks. Just letting her shine in the golden hour.

Fun fact: You may notice Honey Aid has a slight yellow tinge, this is due to the pigment released from the calendula petals during infusion… botanical magic.

A little formula refresh for Sun Dust ☀️

We’ve reduced the lavender in our latest batch for an even lighter lavender scent, making it a great option for those fussy noses!

Same Sun Dust, just a little less lavender. 🌿

Just kidding… we know some of you have incredible jobs! But still how good is building something that feels good, aligns with your ethics and helps out the ponies! 🤎

It’s also been very hard work and taken a lot of grit and BTS effort… don’t be fooled 🌻 but we wouldn’t change this journey and it still blows our mind how many of you want to buy the things we make.

Have you read what people are saying about Equifibre?

Lets talk about Zinc.

Zinc is an important ingredient in equine skin and hoof care, and for good reason.

Skin health - Zinc supports normal skin integrity and plays a role in wound healing and tissue repair.

Hoof health - Zinc is involved in keratin production, a key protein that helps form the hoof wall.

Skin protection - Certain zinc-based ingredients, such as zinc oxide, can help provide a protective barrier against moisture and external irritants.

At The Equid Apothecary, we believe good horse care starts with understanding what goes into your products.
Because ingredients matter!
A little ingredient knowledge goes a long way!

Fresh spring grass can be delicious, but for horses at risk of laminitis, it’s worth having a management plan before the paddock turns into an all you can eat buffet.

As spring gets into full swing, make sure you:

🌱Know your horse’s laminitis risk factors
🌱Monitor their body condition
🌱Keep an eye on pasture and grazing time
🌱Know what their normal digital pulses feel like
🌱Watch for subtle changes in movement
🌱Have a management plan in place

And remember, laminitis doesn’t always start with obvious lameness. If you notice increased digital pulses, warm feet, reluctance to move, a change in gait, or any other signs that concern you, contact your veterinarian.

If you suspect laminitis, don’t wait for your horse to become obviously lame before seeking veterinary advice.

Save this one for your spring pasture planning 🌱🐴
