🌿 Herbs, Simple and Safe A calm, practical guide to using herbs as part of everyday horse care. Herbal support doesn’t begin with a scoop or a supplement. It begins with observation. This course is designed to help you step back from “what should I give?” and begin to understand how herbs fit into the wider picture of the horse - their digestion, nervous system, environment, and daily patterns. Rather than presenting herbs as solutions, this course offers a slower, more thoughtful approach. One that is grounded in the idea that health is built underneath. You’ll learn how to introduce herbs safely, how to recognise the difference between gentle support and stronger intervention, and how to choose simple, appropriate options without overwhelm. The course explores: Thinking about herbs through a whole-horse lens Safe, simple ways to introduce herbal support Common herbs used in everyday care Forage plants and self-selection Practical preparations such as dried herbs, infusions, and compresses Each herb is presented clearly, offering guidance you can return to again and again - not as a list to follow, but as a reference to support your own decision-making. This is not about doing more. It’s about doing less, with more understanding. For those who would like to go further, a companion course - Herbs for Horses: Deepening Understanding - explores additional herbs and more nuanced situations. Alternatively, both courses are brought together in Herbs for Horses: A Complete Guide, offering the full course experience in one place for £49.
