Supporting Horse emotions Naturally

The Science 🌿🐴

While the idea of using scents to soothe might seem simple, there’s substantial science backing it up.
Essential oils interact with the olfactory system—the part of the brain responsible for the sense of smell. This interaction can trigger the release of chemicals like serotonin and dopamine, which promote feelings of well-being.

How Scents Affect Horse Behavior :
When a horse inhales essential oils, the molecules travel up the nasal passages to the olfactory bulbs. These bulbs then send signals to the brain, particularly to the limbic system, which controls emotions and behaviors.

A soothing scent can, therefore, lead to a calmer, more relaxed horse.

Signs of emotional release can be licking, yawning, passing wind 😁🐴 lip lifting etc

When you start working with horses please ENSURE you hold the bottles securely in your hand with only the top open - be careful the horse cannot nip the bottle out of your hand 😜

PSE NOTE : Always ensure you use the highest quality essential oils suitable for horses 🐴 🌿

Lynx is a special kitten of 9 weeks old who came in, in the most horrible condition 😢 since, he's grown strong but his eye will always tell a story.

Lynx sadly only has partial eyesight left in his one eye, but other than that this boy is a delight 😊 he is super affectionate and loves cuddling up on your lap or at the jack of your legs for a snooze. 💗

He has seen the eye specialist and he will not need any further operations yet. We will work with his adopter to make sure Lynx gets all the care he needs when needed. 😊

Inbox us or email us on [email protected] to adopt this special boy, Lynx
