Chamomile for Horses

Chamomile is an aromatic herb with a long traditional use in calming and digestive routines. For horses, it is usually fed dried and mixed into feed or included in a blended supplement.

Chamomile is often chosen for horses that need support for settled behaviour, routine changes, travelling, box rest or sensitivity. It is also used in digestive comfort blends. The safest wording is that chamomile may support calm behaviour and digestive comfort as part of good management.

Chamomile is not a substitute for training, pain investigation or a better routine. If a horse is sharp, anxious or reactive, look at forage, turnout, tack, workload, teeth, discomfort and handling. Herbs can support the horse, but they cannot solve a management problem on their own.

Introduce slowly, especially with fussy or sensitive horses. If the horse competes, check the full product ingredients, not just the lead herb. If the horse is on medication, pregnant or unwell, seek advice first.
