🐴✨ Make a Simple “Sniff Pot” for Your Horse

One of the easiest ways to add a little curiosity and enrichment to your horse’s day is with something we call a Sniff Pot.

It’s simple to make, inexpensive, and surprisingly interesting for many horses.

All you need is:

• A strong plastic container with a lid
• A few small holes drilled into the top
• Something interesting for your horse to smell

That’s it. 😊

Horses naturally explore the world through scent, and many really enjoy investigating new smells when they’re introduced gently and safely.

Some horses become very curious.
Some sniff thoughtfully and quietly.
Some clearly have opinions about which scents they like… and which ones they definitely do not. 😄

It’s a lovely way to encourage calm investigation, curiosity, and thinking.

You may even notice your horse becoming more confident about exploring new things over time.

Here are a few interesting things you can try inside your Sniff Pot:

🌿 Herbs
• Fenugreek (many horses seem to love this one)
• Peppermint
• Chamomile
• Lavender
• Basil
• Rosemary
• Dried mint leaves

🍎 Food scents
• Banana peel
• Cinnamon stick
• Cloves (very small amount)
• Vanilla essence on cotton wool

🌸 Nature smells
• Pine needles
• Eucalyptus leaves
• Flowers such as roses or marigolds
• Safe leaves or bark from horse-safe trees

✨ Essential oils (very tiny amounts only)
Place a drop or two on a cotton ball inside the container.

Some horses enjoy:
• Lavender
• Peppermint
• Frankincense
• Chamomile

The important thing is to let your horse choose.

Some horses will be fascinated by certain smells and completely uninterested in others.

That’s part of the fun.

You’re learning more about what your horse enjoys while also giving them something new and interesting to explore.

And watching your horse carefully investigate a new scent with those soft whiskers twitching will give you a smile. 😊🐴
