Herbs & Spices included in Metabolic Pack

Cinnamon

Cinnamon may offer several potential benefits for horses, including supporting healthy insulin activity, aiding digestion, and acting as an antioxidant, particularly for horses with insulin resistance or Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS). 

Here’s a more detailed breakdown of the potential benefits of cinnamon for horses:

Insulin Sensitivity and Blood Sugar Levels:

Cinnamon, particularly Ceylon cinnamon, may help improve insulin sensitivity, which is crucial for horses with insulin resistance or EMS. 

By enabling cells to better recognize and respond to insulin, cinnamon can help maintain normal blood sugar levels. 

This can be particularly beneficial for horses prone to laminitis, a painful hoof condition often linked to insulin resistance. 

Fenugreek Benefits

Fenugreek is an herb that has several potential benefits for horses. 

 

Digestive Health: 

Fenugreek can stimulate appetite and improve digestion. It can help reduce gas and bloating.

It may also soothe stomach ulcers.

Turmeric Powder

Ground turmeric, particularly its active compound curcumin, may offer horses benefits like supporting joint health, aiding in muscle recovery, and potentially enhancing digestive and metabolic function, though more research is needed specifically for horses. 

Here’s a more detailed look at the potential benefits:

Joint Health and Mobility:

Turmeric is often used for its anti-inflammatory properties, which could help alleviate joint stiffness and pain in horses, especially those with osteoarthritis or other joint issues. 

Beetroot Powder

Beetroot powder, a source of natural nitrates, can potentially benefit horses by improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles, potentially enhancing athletic performance and endurance, while also promoting healthy digestion due to its high fiber content. 

Here’s a more detailed look at the potential benefits:

Potential Benefits:

Improved Athletic Performance and Endurance:

Nitrate Content: Beetroot powder is a good source of natural nitrates, which the body converts into nitric oxide. 

Enhanced Blood Flow and Oxygen Delivery: Nitric oxide helps dilate blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to the muscles, potentially leading to increased stamina and performance. 

Muscle Function: Beetroot powder may help support muscle function and reduce muscle fatigue.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I change out my water buffet?

Generally every two to three days but it will vary based on weather and how much your horse drinks. You will smell when the bucket gets a bit funky… and so will your horse. Mine avoid anything that seems off.

If you want to be sure your horse is having some you can sprinkle some of the pouch contents on their feed.

That’s perfectly normal! Water buffets are about choice and enrichment. I have water, coffee, almond milk, juice, soda water, wine and beer in my refrigerator. It doesn’t mean I drink each one every day. :)

Even better that they have novel stimulation to keep them occupied! And a water buffet doesn’t have to be several buckets. You can offer one different herb or spice in addition to a plain bucket of water and that qualifies. Rotating through flavors keeps life interesting.

Some horses love the taste of beetroot powder so much it can be used to entice them to finish feed and/or take medications. Finding a flavor your horse likes may make it easier to keep them hydrated when you are traveling to shows, seminars or trail riding as it helps mask the taste of “strange water.” A bucket after performing can aid in recovering from physically demanding events and help moderate stress.
