Many horse owners feed an equine garlic supplement for its insect repelling qualities - the sweat produced by a horse fed on garlic gives out an odour that keeps flies, ticks and midges away - making it a natural fly repellent.

Horse owners also find feeding a garlic supplement useful as part of their equine worming program. Regular feeding of Garlic is effective in deterring tapeworms, pinworms and roundworms - but this should not exclude the use of regular wormers.

Garlic as a diet supplement can also be used to give relief from the symptoms of coughs - it contains a substance that helps to clear mucus in the airways. This cleansing action, together with its ability to reduce inflammation, also benefits the urinary tract.

The recommended amount to feed as a supplement to the existing diet is half an ounce to 2 ounces per day depending on the horse or pony's size.

Customer Testimonials:

Helen Evans, Devon

“I started feeding garlic many years ago as an equine feed supplement when my big dressage horse Lenny was very ‘thick in the wind’ and used to make quite a noise in his tests particularly when he was cantering. I found that it really helped him be clearer in his wind and that there were other obvious benefits as well in that he seemed to get a lot less viruses and ‘poorly’ days as well as helping keep the flies and midges away. I now make sure that I feed garlic to all my horses as part of their general diet and I am convinced that it keeps them much more healthy. If you can only afford to feed one sort of supplement then garlic is a very good idea as it has so many benefits.”
