FAQ

What makes Calm & Comfort suitable for feathered breeds?

The inclusion of Cleavers and Marigold specifically targets lymphatic health — a known concern in heavy feathered breeds such as Clydesdales, Shires, and Friesians that are prone to conditions like CPL, Mallenders, and Sallenders. Combined with the cereal-free, low-starch formulation, this makes it one of the most targeted feeds available for these horses.

Is it suitable for laminitic horses?

Yes — the ultra-low starch (4.0%) and sugar (3.7%) profile, alongside the absence of cereals and molasses, makes Calm & Comfort a strong choice for laminitis-prone horses. Always consult your vet or equine nutritionist for individual dietary advice.

How do the botanical ingredients promote calmness?

Chamomile, Nettle, and Mint are well-established calming botanicals used in equine nutrition. They work naturally to support a relaxed temperament without causing sedation — ideal for horses that are sharp or excitable due to dietary starch rather than temperament alone.

Can I feed it alongside a balancer?

Yes — Calm & Comfort is fully balanced but can be fed alongside a targeted balancer if recommended by your nutritionist, particularly for horses with specific micronutrient requirements.
