Stress Pack

Description

Four single-ingredient pouches. Four herbs chosen to work together. One specific goal: supporting the horse who hauls, competes, ulcers up under stress, or just runs hot when life gets noisy.

The Stress Pack is a curated bundle of four separate Apothecary pouches, each containing one pure, human-grade, organically sourced botanical. Licorice Root is one of the most traditional herbs for gastric comfort — stress and ulcers travel together, and licorice is how herbalists have supported that connection for centuries. Raspberry Leaf is traditionally associated with calming smooth muscle tone and supporting digestive comfort. Fenugreek supports digestion, appetite, and is traditionally used when stressed horses go off their feed. Nettle Leaf supports histamine balance and circulation — both of which can go sideways during periods of stress. Four angles on one conversation. Dose each one separately, or stack them the way your horse (and your vet) call for.

What is the Stress Pack used for?

The Stress Pack is a health-supportive supplement bundle for horses dealing with travel stress, competition nerves, barn or herd changes, stall rest, weather anxiety, or any of the ways horses physically carry stress. The four botanicals inside are traditionally used to support gastric comfort, digestive regulation, smooth muscle calm, and histamine balance. It’s popular with owners of hauling competitors, show horses, and horses who get physically reactive under pressure.

Is this safe for competition horses?

Competition note: Licorice Root is prohibited in some competition jurisdictions (including FEI) — verify your discipline’s rules before use. The other three herbs are generally considered competition-safe, but always verify with your governing body.

Is this safe for metabolic horses?

Yes. Every ingredient is a single-source, human-grade botanical with no added sugar, salt, electrolytes, or copper. The Stress Pack is safe for horses with insulin resistance (IR), Cushing’s disease (PPID), equine metabolic syndrome (EMS), and laminitis. Always share any new supplement with your vet before starting.

What’s inside the Stress Pack?

• Licorice Root — traditionally used to support gastric mucosal health during stressful periods. Note competition restrictions.
• Organic Raspberry Leaf — traditionally used to support smooth muscle tone and digestive comfort.
• Fenugreek — supports appetite and digestive health when stress takes a horse off their feed.
• Nettle Leaf — supports histamine balance, circulation, and overall resilience.

How do I use the Stress Pack?

Each pouch is a single ingredient, so you dose them individually — not as a pre-mixed blend. Many owners start the pack 7–10 days before a known stress event (haul, show, barn move) and continue through 3–5 days after to support recovery. Your vet or equine nutritionist can advise on specific daily dosages.

What’s NOT in it

• No added sugar, salt, or electrolytes
• No copper, no fillers, no gums, no “natural flavors”
• No magnesium-based calmers, no tryptophan, no synthetic anxiolytics — this is the botanical side of the stress conversation

Who it’s safe for

Travel and competition horses (with competition restrictions noted above). Stall-rest horses. Horses dealing with barn changes, herd dynamics, weather anxiety, or transport. Horses with insulin resistance (IR), Cushing’s disease (PPID), equine metabolic syndrome (EMS), and laminitis. Part of the Farmily — safe across species at appropriate doses.

Pairs well with

For the water-bucket version of this same travel-support strategy, pair this pack with Ready Roadie (apple + licorice root + fenugreek + oat flour) — our original travel hydration mix. Pre-condition with Ready Roadie at home for weeks before a trip so the scent travels with your horse.
