Bring the comfort of fall to the barn year round with Oh My Gourd! This blend isn’t just a flavor favorite; it’s a nutritional powerhouse designed for the holistic horse. We’ve combined the digestive-soothing properties of pumpkin with the metabolic and respiratory support of nettle leaf to create a topper that horses don’t just love—they thrive on.
Pumpkin Power: Naturally rich in fiber and Beta-carotene (Vitamin A), pumpkin supports a healthy gut and immune system. Its low-glycemic profile makes it a safe, satisfying treat for metabolic horses.
The Nettle Edge: A true “super-herb,” nettle leaf is a natural antihistamine. It provides vital support for horses dealing with seasonal allergies and skin irritations while promoting healthy circulation.
Oat Flour Base: Our organically sourced oat flour provides gentle, slow-releasing energy and beneficial Beta-glucans for optimal hindgut health.

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.
