5. Mint in horse diet

We all know the lovely, strong smell of mint. Mint is well – known for its excellent aroma and healing power. It helps to soothe the digestive system and ease stomach aches. It’s very commonly used in industrial purposes like for example in mouth freshening products. It can cure seasonal cough or cold and also remove excess of heat from a body.



Horses love taste of mint too! Just to mention their favorite polo mints and other mint flavored treats. Adding special mint supplement to your horse’s diet can be quite beneficial. Apart from giving the food a very pleasant aroma and encouraging even shy or fussy eaters to try their food, it can also help to relax the muscles of a digestive tract therefore actually encourage the good health of a digestive system. It helped me to encourage my horse to eat bran mash and readigrass (2 things he really dislikes!) while being on a box rest. I can highly recommend that product.

It’s a reasonably priced supplement. Of course introduce mint supplement in a diet gradually and do not overdose. You can get some mint supplements online here:
