Zeolite for horses – hardly any feed additive is as frequently requested in natural horse care and at the same time so often misunderstood. Too many products, too little transparency, too many promises without evidence. This guide answers all questions about effectiveness, dosage, and quality – clearly, honestly, and based on 30 years of stable practice. Because we believe: information is the best basis for good decisions. For you. And for your horse. ♡
It is important to us to explain this topic simply and clearly, because we believe that information and knowledge are the best basis for making good decisions for the well-being of horses. In this article, you will therefore find clear and comprehensible information about zeolite for horses – its effects, application, and practical experiences. Basically, everything you always wanted to know about zeolite ♡
Why optimize horse feed with zeolite?
Zeolite is a natural mineral of volcanic origin that has been used in animal nutrition for decades. Its special ability to bind pollutants and support metabolic processes also makes it interesting for horses.
❓Why should you optimize horse feed with zeolite?
1. Because horse feed can be contaminated with pollutants.
Horse feed can be contaminated with pollutants. Feed must be made durable. Sometimes it is bought in large quantities, which then sit in storage and develop mycotoxins. A naturopath showed me exactly when mold fungi appear in crushed oats. That happens quite quickly.
2. Because pastures are fertilized with pesticides and artificial fertilizers. Or with slurry. No matter from which animals, the slurry is full of germs and often full of chemicals. If the slurry is spread with a trailing hose, the solid components remain on the ground and are practically harvested with the hay and then ingested by the horses. More on this in: Pollutants in horse feed article
3. Because water is sometimes no longer as clean and supplies nitrates and other pollutants. Especially where a lot of synthetic fertilizer is used, the nitrates enter the groundwater. And what I keep seeing and hearing is that some horses drink water that flows through old lead pipes. And horse stables often have lead pipes.
4. Because roughage is sometimes poorly dried. This can lead to the feed being contaminated with mold, toxins, and pollutants. Zeolite binds these physically. No magic. It's not a chemical bond either. A natural physical one, because the high surface area can adsorb these pollutants and remove them from the animal. It is also called a toxin binder.
More on this in the article: Crushed oats for horses: advantages, risks, and proper storage.
5. Because conventional mineral feed pellets are provided with additives so that the pellets become pellets. This can be anything. Various sugars or synthetic binders. Horses can taste sweet (I didn't know that until recently), so they also like to eat this stuff. By the way, we have collected Fun facts, or useless knowledge about horses in an article. To smile and marvel at and, of course, to pass on.
Zeolite for horses – effects in the gut & metabolism
❓When should I optimize my horse's feed with zeolite? What does zeolite support my horse with?
The right time to use zeolite often depends on the horse's stress – be it coat change, stress, or digestive problems. Read more about digestive problems in horses here.
Zeolite, when finely pulverized by a tribomechanical grinding process, can bind pollutants through its high internal surface area - adsorption capacity. Heavy metals, histamines, ammonia, mold fungi, etc. are firmly bound and excreted.
Zeolite is a feed additive and optimizes horse feed with this ability. The feed is then qualitatively higher and provides the horse with the nutrients.
According to our customers and veterinarians, feed optimized with zeolite can support coat change, help to regulate digestion, and prevent loose stools [>> here are the scientific studies on this] or stop them within a short time, prevent laminitis, and support in stress.
More on the topic of loose stools:
→ Read our detailed guide on loose stools in horses here.
Likewise, with allergies, you can support your horse from within. And for all types of eczema, feed optimized with zeolite is a good choice.
❓Are there studies on the use of zeolite in horses? Efficacy studies?
Yes, there are. But not many. It's always nice to read how zeolite also makes a difference in these studies. Also, take a look at the blog post: Well-founded knowledge about zeolite for animals. I have summarized the studies in it. The blog post contains good studies on dogs and cows. I know that the bodies of these animals function differently - but there are certainly basic rules about how an intestine and a mammal work internally. You get a good feeling of trust because it shows us that many people and veterinary universities are already dealing with the effects of zeolite.
Studies at a glance
Silicon & Bone Metabolism
Several scientific studies on horses show that feeding zeolite can lead to increased silicon levels in the blood. At the same time, changes in bone metabolism markers were observed, indicating possible support for bone and joint health.
Digestion & Gut
Clinoptilolite has been studied for many years in animal nutrition due to its special adsorption and ion exchange properties. Studies on various animal species describe, among other things, positive effects on stool consistency and the binding of certain undesirable substances in the digestive tract.
Safety
When used correctly, high-quality clinoptilolite is considered well tolerated. Crucial factors are the quality of the raw material, a high clinoptilolite content, correct dosage, and species-appropriate feeding.
Our conclusion: Scientific studies provide valuable insights into the properties of zeolite. However, they do not replace the individual assessment of each horse. Therefore, scientific findings, veterinary recommendations, and practical experience should always be considered together.

Training distance to failure in young racing Quarter Horses fed sodium zeolite A (1993, Nielsen et al.) – In a one-year study, young racing horses aged 6 months and older were fed with 0.66–2% zeolite A. Supplemented horses showed higher plasma silicon levels, and there was a significant positive correlation (R²≈0.54) between plasma silicon content and the training distance covered until the first injury event. This suggests that bioavailable silicon from zeolite can support bone strength, connective tissue health and prevent injuries during training.
Source: hrcak.srce.hr. DOI: 10.1016/S0737-0806(06)81526-1 -
Supplemental silicon increases plasma and milk silicon concentrations in horses (2001, Lang et al.) – In a study on lactating Arabian mares, feeding clinoptilolite (as a silicon source) led to significantly increased silicon concentrations in the mares' plasma (after 30 days) and in their milk (after 45 days). The foals of the treated mares also showed higher plasma silicon levels.
Silicon supplementation via zeolite thus increased the bioavailability of silicon in mares and foals, which can be relevant for bone health (although only trends, but no significant changes in bone metabolism markers, were observed in this study).
Source: DOI: 10.2527/2001.79102627x
Increased plasma silicon concentrations and altered bone resorption in yearling horses (2001, Lang et al.) – In this follow-up study on yearlings, feeding 2% zeolite A also increased plasma silicon levels and affected bone metabolism markers, with reduced bone resorption observed. However, unlike in broodmares, yearlings showed no significant increase in bone formation. Overall, the results indicate that zeolite A can favorably influence bone metabolism in young horses, although the effects are age- and physiology-dependent.

Mineral balance in horses fed two supplemental silicon sources (2008, O’Connor et al.) – This study compared the effect of zeolite A with an organic silicon source (orthosilicic acid-containing) in horses. Horses receiving 200 g/day of zeolite A showed improved silicon retention and increased plasma Si levels compared to controls. The authors concluded that zeolite is an effective silicon source to support bone and joint health in horses.
Source: hrcak.srce.hr. DOI: 10.1111/j.1439-0396.2007.00724.x
For clarification: Zeolite A is a synthetic zeolite; in contrast, clinoptilolite is a natural zeolite, and in equine practice, it similarly releases bioavailable silicon. Both forms are used to promote bone health. The studies above emphasize that zeolite is neither absorbed by the horse nor acts as a nutrient, but it releases bioactive silicon (orthosilicic acid) in the gut, which can support bone mineralization. And that is a good (actually, super good) thing.
In addition to scientific research, insights from practical experience are particularly valuable. Many veterinarians confirm that zeolite can be a useful supplement in certain situations. Here's an example from veterinary experience:
💬 "Zeolite is not a substitute for veterinary therapy, but a valuable support in daily stable life. Horses with sensitive digestive tracts particularly benefit from it, as the mineral binds excess harmful substances and stabilizes the gut environment." – Equine Nutrition Veterinarian
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My mare had chronic loose stools for months – I tried everything. After three weeks with the zeolite powder, it was dry again for the first time." — Verified Buyer, HORSEKRAFT Zeolite Powder
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "We've tried many remedies and even the vet couldn't find a cause. After we supplemented with zeolite, the bloated belly disappeared and the horse no longer had to constantly pass gas." — Renate & Sandra, HORSEKRAFT Zeolite Pellets
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I have a horse with a very sensitive digestive system that gets zeolite as a prophylactic. Essentially prevention and care, as my naturopath says. My vet recently asked if I had washed the dog, who also gets zeolite, with shiny shampoo. I never had this effect with other zeolite products." — M.S., HORSEKRAFT Zeolite Powder
Zeolite for loose stools, laminitis & sweet itch – what practice shows
❓ Does zeolite work for loose stools in horses?
Yes, zeolite can be supportive for loose stools in horses. This natural mineral binds excess acids, toxins, and harmful substances that arise from fermentation in the gut. At the same time, it soothes irritated intestinal mucosa and stabilizes the gut environment. Zeolite is particularly helpful for loose stools caused by feeding or stress, and as part of a holistic gut cleansing program.
Simply increase the dosage and let the zeolite powder stimulate the horse's self-healing. You can read the article: Loose stools in horses - causes, home remedies and naturopathy here.
Good to know
Loose stools are not actually a disease, but a symptom with various possible causes. Feeding, forage quality, stress, dental problems, parasites, or changes in gut flora can play a role.
Zeolite does not replace identifying the cause, but it can be a useful component of holistic feeding management. For persistent symptoms, the cause should always be clarified with veterinarians or other specialists.
❓ Are there studies on whether zeolite works for diarrhea and loose stools?
Yes, there are. Studies in horses on zeolite efficacy for loose stools are still limited. The findings largely come from other animals (lambs, calves, pigs, and even chickens) from general veterinary investigations. However, they provide strong evidence that zeolite can also be effective in horses at binding toxins, protecting the intestinal mucosa, improving stool consistency, and stabilizing the gut flora. That's something.
In the article: Zeolite for loose stools - efficacy and studies, you can read everything in detail and delve deeper.
❓How can zeolite support with laminitis?
"Zeolite helps with laminitis caused by poisoning and draws the toxins out of the body. A horse that has been prone to laminitis will tend to suffer from it again. Regular intake of zeolite can have a preventative effect."
Armin Eberle, Swiss Hoof Orthopedist.

All chronic and acute diseases are attributed to weaknesses in the immune system.
Laminitis is a thrombosis in the hoof, meaning thickened blood clogs various capillary vessels. Then there is no nutrient exchange, and the vessels become inflamed and die. --> You can read more background information on laminitis here.
❓My hoof care specialist recommended your products. I'm looking for a good "remedy" to help my Icelandic gelding with sweet itch.
Many horse owners have reported good success with our product Horsekraft Zeolite Black Cumin against skin eczema, especially sweet itch. Supplementing with zeolite-black cumin powder helps against skin inflammation and supports the horse's defense against mosquitoes, flies, and other insects via the gut. If the affected areas are weeping, our skin powder can help externally, and our wound ointment for scabby areas.
The zeolite content optimizes the feed and allows the organic black cumin to work even better. The horse emits the scent of black cumin. It is not detectable by the human nose, but midges, horseflies, and ticks can detect it and dislike it. The powder is also good for horses that don't like black cumin oil.
❓Why does your black cumin-zeolite product work?
I gave my horse black cumin oil. It didn't really do anything for my horse. Why do the black cumin-zeolite powder work? Because zeolite binds harmful substances and prepares the environment, allowing the active ingredients of real black cumin to work.
If you use oil, please use organic black cumin oil. Conventional black cumin production relies on pesticides. Pesticides can easily trigger allergies in horses. And yes, our Horsekraft black cumin is organic quality. So: zeolite binds harmful substances in the gut and allows black cumin to work well.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My mare often struggled with skin eczema and allergies. Since I've been adding zeolite, the skin problems have noticeably reduced. Her coat is shinier and she scratches herself much less." — Petra, HORSEKRAFT Zeolite Powder
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I've tried a lot for my two horses' eczema. This black cumin-zeolite mixture has helped them." — Kristin, HORSEKRAFT Black Cumin-Zeolite
❓Which veterinarians and experts recommend zeolite?
Many veterinarians and equine nutrition experts consider zeolite a valuable supplement in feeding. They particularly emphasize the mineral's ability to bind toxins in the gut, thereby relieving the organism. Zeolite has also been studied for years in veterinary medicine and used in various areas – for example, to support gut flora or for problems such as loose stools.
In practice, veterinarians report that horses with sensitive digestion, during coat change or under increased stress, can benefit from zeolite. Additionally, zeolite is also valued by agricultural experts, where it has long been used to improve feed hygiene and stable management. Read more about it: Coat change in horses: Tips for effective care and support
★ Important to remember: Zeolite does not replace veterinary treatment, but can be a valuable supplement in consultation with specialists.
💬 "In my practice, I use zeolite as a supplement for horses suffering from loose stools or feed changes. Many animals show significant improvement within a few weeks, without any side effects." – Equine Veterinarian from Practice

From Practice
In discussions with horse owners, it repeatedly becomes clear that zeolite is particularly used during times of increased stress – for example, when transitioning to pasture, during coat change, or with sensitive digestion.
Many users report that regular and sufficiently long application is crucial. Zeolite is therefore often used not only short-term, but as a fixed component of holistic feeding management.
Our tip: Observe your horse carefully and give changes time. As with many natural feed additives, the application often develops over several weeks and should always be adapted to the individual situation of the horse.
Zeolite Dosage Horse – Feeding Step by Step
❓What particle size/fineness should zeolite powder for horses have?
Together with zeolite experts, we have decided on an average grain size of 24 microns (the abbreviation for micron is: µm) for use in horses. If the grain size were larger, higher dosages would be necessary to achieve the same effect. The coarser the grain, the lower the adsorption capacity. The finer it is, the larger the active surface and the less zeolite needs to be supplemented. Digestion in horses is a rather sensitive process, so 24 microns is quite perfect.
Read more about grain size/particle size >>>
❓How do I correctly dose zeolite for horses?
We recommend using the horse's weight as a guideline.
So:
Your horse weighs 400kg: then give it 25g of zeolite = 2.5 scoops per day in its feed.
600kg: 35g = 3.5 scoops per day
800kg: 45g = 4.5 scoops per day
Here we have written a guide for zeolite dosage and collected application examples.
❓What's better: Zeolite powder or zeolite pellets? VIDEO
That's a matter of taste. The 24µm powder is gently pelleted into pellets, and absolutely no additives are added. Yes, the pellets hold together. Nothing extra is needed.

Pellets are easier to dose, better to handle, and don't create dust. Powder and pellets cost the same. We wanted it that way. I don't want price to be the deciding factor. I want you to decide what makes more sense. We decided to produce pellets because customers kept asking for them and wishing for them. The pellet bucket contains more (4.5kg), so it lasts longer.
However, there are also horses that sort out every single small pellet. In that case, powder is better. It mixes well with the feed. The feed authorities recommend dissolving the pellets beforehand anyway. You can sprinkle it well on hay and moisten it a little.
Dear customers from Tyrol sent us this photo of the pellet dispenser. In this stable, zeolite is a fixed part of the routine for the horses' well-being. In the fourth container, you can see the pure zeolite pellets for easy removal and feeding.
❓What to do if my horse doesn't eat the zeolite?
We have dedicated an entire article to this topic.
Let yourself be inspired and send us your tip. Surely your tip will also be interesting for other horse owners :-) Jump over >>>
❓What's the best way to use zeolite?
It's best to add it to the feed so that it mixes homogeneously. Zeolite is a technological (that's really what it's called) additive for optimizing feed.
The correct name for Zeolite Powder is 1g568 and it is approved as a binder and flow agent for reducing feed contamination. For all animal species.
Therefore, zeolite should be added to the feed and mixed homogeneously. Mix it into mash or sprinkle it on hay and then moisten it. Once a day. If the horse is taking medication or additional mineral feed, make sure there are at least 2 hours in between.
You can find a guide to using zeolite in horses here.
❓Can zeolite also bind synthetic mineral feed?
Yes. Many mineral feeds are synthetic minerals. These are also bound.
❓And proteins? Does zeolite bind proteins?
They are not adsorbed (i.e., fixedly bound and not released) nor absorbed (i.e., sucked in), but it could be that they stick to the zeolite powder. Please also allow at least two hours in between, as with medications.
❓Does zeolite bind vitamins?
No. They are definitely too large in their structure and do not fit into the crystal lattices. Therefore, zeolite cannot do anything with vitamins or amino acids.
❓How long should zeolite be fed to horses? Permanently or as a course?
We often recommend a course of treatment. For 2-3 months. With a double dose. Especially if you haven't optimized the feed for a long time. Or if the horse hasn't been detoxified. But a maximum of 1% of the feed quantity. That is the requirement of the Austrian feed authority.
And then you can decide whether you want to continue optimizing the daily feed. It also depends on the quality of the feed. How is it stored, does the hay have good nutrients, how does my horse react to pesticides.

For older horses, we recommend feeding it permanently to support and relieve them as much as possible. A feed optimized with zeolite prevents many problems, relieves the detoxification organs, and a good acid-base balance in the body is a good start.
And it depends on whether you want to support your horse from within. During coat changes, when relaxing, with metabolic disorders, if it has become too fat, with lack of exercise, in stressful situations - stable changes, new stable mates, ... - when transitioning to pasture. If your horse starts nibbling the bark of trees or fences, it might need silicon. Silicon is the main component of zeolite.
❓When to supplement zeolite - BEFORE gut cleansing and great herbs ... or DURING?
We recommend optimizing the feed with zeolite before gut cleansing or using great herbs, so that the gut transports away harmful substances beforehand and is well prepared. If there are too many harmful substances in the digestive tract, the animal cannot absorb the new good microbiome and the active ingredients of the sometimes quite expensive herbs cannot unfold their full potential. Therefore, feed zeolite beforehand.
❓Is there sugar in STEINKRAFT zeolite products?
No. There is NO sugar in ANY HORSEKRAFT product. Of course not. Not even in the pellets. We have a good production method, so the pellets don't need sugar or any other binding agent to become pellets.
HORSEKRAFT zeolite pellets contain only zeolite. 100%.
❓Is zeolite on the doping list?
No. Zeolite is doping-free. It's a completely natural support. Optimized feed leads to a more harmonious horse. Either it becomes calmer and more attentive because it feels better in its own skin and has a better body feeling, or the horse becomes livelier and more alert because the gut doesn't need so much energy.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The HORSEKRAFT Hoof Powder is for us the most effective product against thrush so far. A clear improvement occurs very quickly." — Heike Kemmer, Dressage Rider & Head of Amselhof Walle
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "In our foal box, it is crucial that the environment is as germ-free as possible - without chemicals. With HORSEKRAFT bedding, we have found a natural solution that really works." — Horse breeder, HORSEKRAFT Zeolite Bedding
Recognizing Zeolite Quality – what really matters
❓How do I recognize the quality of zeolite?
1. Grain size 24µm is best according to horse experts. Because of the sensitive horse digestive organs. Not coarser, because then you would have to feed more to get the desired effect (feeding more would also make it more expensive, wouldn't it?). And it might be too coarse for the horses, and they won't eat it as easily.
Sometimes a horse owner tells me that zeolite didn't help with watery stools. I then ask how fine the powder was. Usually, they don't know, and it's not written anywhere on the product. They send it to us, and we analyze the zeolite. And it's often over 100 microns. That's very coarse, and you have to use multiple times the amount to achieve an effect. And that quantity then deters, and you use the dosage instructions for a fine powder - and that's too little.
What you should look for in high-quality zeolite for horses
- 100% natural clinoptilolite zeolite
- Tested quality and transparent origin of the raw material
- Tribomechanical grinding process, so that the natural structure is best preserved and no abrasion occurs
- Suitable particle size for use in horses
- Clear declaration as a feed additive and comprehensible quality standards, produced by a feed manufacturer
2. Tribomechanically pulverized and activated in an air current. Only in this way can the natural mineral unleash its full potential, because it is charged and thus the suction effect truly comes into being. And above all, it remains pure.
Recently, we spoke with a customer on the phone. She wanted to know if tribomechanical grinding is really that important, if it isn't somewhat overestimated. At this point, we recommend doing the magnet test. Hold a magnet to the edge of the glass in which you have dissolved zeolite in water. And see what happens. If zeolite is ground using conventional grinding methods, there is a very high probability that metal abrasion from the balls will be in the zeolite powder. In addition, the crystal lattices inside the zeolite are crushed and then no longer do what the crystal lattices are known for.
In summary: There are 8-micron products on the market that show high levels of contamination. Our 2 hypotheses:
1. Grinding with conventional grinding methods (the dark cloud is the abrasion. Zeolite contains iron. But if a cloud is really visible, then it is abrasion.)
2. Storage: If zeolite is incorrectly packaged, transported, and stored, the originally pure zeolite can become contaminated, because this natural mineral attracts harmful substances. Prof. Dr. Hecht has emphatically pointed out these contamination possibilities and told many stories about them. No bulk material as raw material, always in sealed big bags.
❓Where does Steinkraft Zeolite come from – where is it mined?
We looked closely at all raw materials from the EU and chose the mining site in Eastern Slovakia. This raw material was most favored by the production experts (who had examined all raw materials in Europe) AND it was described by Prof. Dr. Karl Hecht as the best raw material source, due to its composition.
❓Can zeolite be organic?
No. A product can only be organic if there is also a non-organic version of it. Zeolite is stone. It cannot be organic. Only natural. So, if you see "organic zeolite" or "zeolite in organic quality" written anywhere, it's a marketing gimmick or deliberate misleading of consumers. It can't be.
We think it's important to state this. Such manipulative statements suggest a lack of care shown towards this valuable natural product. It annoys us. Professor Hecht has repeatedly asked for clarification on this matter. We want to contribute to that.
❓How is Steinkraft Zeolite milled?
Steinkraft pulverizes tribomechanically. In our production, we have a huge machine, actually two, beautifully lined up in parallel. We decide when we micronize and how fine we want the powder to be. You can read more about it here >>
❓Is Steinkraft Zeolite regularly checked for heavy metals?
Yes. Feed manufacturers are obligated to do so. BUT: it is important to have a heavy metal analysis of the ground product. So that heavy metal contamination from grinding with ball mills does not only become visible during the magnet test. And HORSEKRAFT Zeolite for horses is manufactured by a certified feed manufacturer. CO2 neutral. If that's of interest to anyone. It's important to us.
❓Can aluminum leach out of zeolite?
No. I know that the idea that aluminum can leach out and then my horse would get an aluminum burden from zeolite is always circulating. That's nonsense.
Aluminum is firmly bound in natural zeolite. The higher the silicon-to-aluminum ratio, the more stable this bond is. Anything above 5:1 is good. Again: Prof. Hecht always said that it's not the amount of aluminum, but the ratio of silicon to aluminum that is important.
However, in synthetically produced zeolite, it can very well happen that aluminum is not so firmly bound and therefore leaches out. As I said: in synthetically produced zeolite.
Therefore, it is important to buy natural zeolite. Preferably from a trustworthy zeolite manufacturer. Zeolite dealers sometimes don't know much about it either. I notice this when I ask, and it even happens that zeolite dealers get information about their products from us...
❓I've read that the higher the clinoptilolite content in zeolite, the higher its effect - is that true?
No, that's not true. Prof. Dr. Karl Hecht always emphasized this. The mineralogical analysis always specifies "from-to" values because the clinoptilolite content also varies from batch to batch. Prof. Hecht always considered the entire mineralogical composition important, namely the ratio of silicon and aluminum. This should be at least 5:1. AND the grinding method is crucial. Tribomechanical grinding is important because this pulverization method does not contaminate the material, maintains its purity, and, above all, breaks up the crystal lattice structures without crushing them.
HOWEVER: for zeolite to be suitable for feed optimization, the clinoptilolite content must be greater than 80%. And not every mining site can achieve that.

❓Do I need to detox my horse?
Yes, of course. Stress hormones leave harmful substances in the body, mycotoxins in moldy hay need to be removed from the body. The gut microbiome must be rebalanced repeatedly. All of this is reason enough to do a detox cure at least once a year. The gut can also absorb good nutrients much better again.

@Iris – was für ein kluger Gedanke, den Vergleich zwischen Prophylaxe und Tierarztkosten anzustellen. Das ist eigentlich der ursprünglichste Weg um zu entscheiden ob etwas Sinn macht – nicht der Preis allein, sondern was es einem erspart. Belastetes Wasser ist leider in vielen Regionen ein echtes und oft unterschätztes Thema. Dass ihr das so bewusst angeht macht mich wirklich froh. Herzliche Grüße zurück an euch und eure Pferde! 🐴🧡
@M. – danke für diese ehrliche Rückmeldung! Das schrittweise Einschleichen ist so wichtig und wird trotzdem so oft übersprungen – weil man es einfach gut meint und zu viel auf einmal möchte 😄 Pferde merken das sofort. Schön dass ihr jetzt euren Rhythmus gefunden habt. Euer Pferd wird es euch danken! 🐴
@Ilse – „kein Schweifputzen mehr" – das ist für mich einer der schönsten Sätze die ich lesen kann! 😄 Kotwasser im Herbst kennen so viele Pferdehalter:innen und es kostet so viel Energie, Zeit und Nerven. Dass ihr nach vielem Ausprobieren jetzt endlich etwas gefunden habt das wirklich funktioniert – das macht mich aufrichtig glücklich. Danke dass du das mit uns teilst! 🐴🧡
@Sukra – das hat mich wirklich berührt als ich das gelesen habe. Dass deine Stallkolleginnen den Unterschied bemerken ohne dass du etwas sagst – das ist das schönste Feedback das man sich wünschen kann. Kein Tierarzt mehr. Kein Kotwasser. Kein Fellproblem. Das ist nicht nichts – das ist sehr viel. Danke dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast das hier zu schreiben. Für genau solche Momente machen wir das. 🐴🧡
@Simon – herzlich willkommen bei STEINKRAFT! Eine 29-jährige Stute – das ist schon ein beeindruckendes Alter und zeigt wie liebevoll und aufmerksam du sie begleitest. 🥹 Dass du dich auf die Suche nach natürlicher Unterstützung gemacht hast anstatt einfach hinzunehmen was ist – das schätze ich sehr.
