Oils for show season

Show season is here! Get your oily pony (and yourself!) ready for a winning season with these essential oils.

Trailering, new water, and a different routine can be stressful for horses.  Add a few drops of digestive blend or peppermint to their water in the few days leading up to the event, during the show, and the day after to help ease tension and aid in healthy digestion.

Ulcers are common in horses doing the show circuit.  Guard against them with a little ginger and fennel dripped into the daily grain ration.

Every show horse deserves a good massage.  Use a massage blend to enhance the benefits!

Is your horse over stimulated by all the craziness of the show grounds? A drop or two of lavender on her nostrils can help take the edge off.

Does your horse feel sluggish in the warmup arena? A brightly scented oil like lemon can provide a natural pick me up.

If it’s unseasonably hot, be sure to keep yourself and your oily pony cool.  Add a few drops of rose or spearmint to the water when sponging down.
