Homeopathy for Anxious Horses

For Anxiety - Argentum Nitricum, Metallicum Album & AconiteBach Flower RescueHerbs – Valerian, Chamomile & Lavender


The most important thing to remember when giving a horse a homeopathic remedy is that you must NEVER touch the pellets/tablets or drops with your hands as this may neutralise them and make them ineffective.
You can place the pellets or drops into a syringe or other container.
If that is too difficult, you can let your horse lick the pellets out of a dish or dissolve the pellets in a small amount of water and pour it (or the drops) on a small food item that will absorb it, like a small piece of bread or a sugar cube.
You must not feed anything else for at least 30 minutes after giving your horse his homeopathic remedy and not offer water for at least 15 minutes.
It is best if you only use one remedy at a time so that you can tell if that remedy is working.
