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 understandably, because we believe that information and knowledge are the best foundation 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. In short, everything you ever 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 horse feed be optimized with zeolite?
1. Because horse feed can be contaminated with harmful substances.
Horse feed can be contaminated by harmful substances. Feed must be made durable. Sometimes large quantities are bought, which then sit around and develop mycotoxins. A naturopath showed me exactly when mold starts to form on crimped oats. That happens pretty quickly.
2. Because pastures are fertilized with pesticides and artificial fertilizers. Or with slurry. Regardless of the animals, the slurry is full of germs and often full of chemicals. If the slurry is spread with a drag 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 the: Harmful Substances in Horse Feed article
3. Because water is sometimes no longer as clean and delivers nitrates and other harmful substances. Especially where there is a lot of synthetic fertilization, 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 harmful substances. 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 harmful substances and expel them from the animal. It is also called a toxin binder. More on this in the article: Crimped Oats for Horses: Benefits, Risks, and Proper Storage.
5. Because conventional mineral feed pellets contain additives to make them pellets. This can be anything. Various sugars or synthetic binders. Horses can taste sweet (I didn't even know that until recently), which is why 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, marvel, and of course, to share.
Zeolite for Horses – Effect in the Gut & Metabolism
❓When should I optimize my horse's feed with zeolite? How does zeolite support my horse?
The right time to use zeolite often depends on the horse's strain – 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 harmful substances due to its high internal surface area - adsorption capacity. Heavy metals, histamines, ammonia, mold, etc. are quickly bound and excreted.
Zeolite is a feed additive and optimizes horse feed with this ability. The feed is then of higher quality and provides the horse with the nutrients it needs. According to our customers and veterinarians, feed optimized with zeolite can support coat change, regulate digestion, prevent loose stool [>> click here for scientific studies on this] or stop it within a short time, prevent laminitis, and support during stress.
More on the topic of loose stool
→ Read our detailed guide on loose stool in horses here.
Similarly, for 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. I've summarized them once. It's always nice to read how zeolite makes a difference in these studies too. Also check out the blog post: Well-founded knowledge about zeolite for animals. There are good studies done on dogs and cows. I know, the bodies of these animals work differently - but there are certainly basic rules for how a gut and a mammal function internally. It gives a good sense of confidence because we see 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 a 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. The quality of the raw material, a high clinoptilolite content, correct dosage, and species-appropriate feeding are crucial.
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 from 6 months of age received feed with 0.66–2% zeolite A. Supplemented horses showed higher plasma silicon values, 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 and connective tissue health and prevent injuries during training.

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 plasma of the mares (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 influenced markers of bone metabolism, particularly a reduced bone resorption was observed. However, in contrast to broodmares, the yearlings did not show a 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 effects 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 conclude that zeolite is an effective silicon source for supporting 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; whereas 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 intestine, which can support bone mineralization. And that is a good, in fact, a super good thing.
In addition to scientific research, the voices from practical experience are particularly valuable. Many veterinarians confirm that zeolite can be a useful supplement in certain situations. 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 because the mineral binds excess harmful substances and stabilizes the intestinal environment." – Veterinarian for equine nutrition
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My mare had chronic water feces 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 added zeolite, the bloated belly disappeared, and the horse no longer had to constantly release gas." — Renate & Sandra, HORSEKRAFT Zeolite Pellets
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I have a horse with a very sensitive gastrointestinal system that receives zeolite as a prophylactic. It's 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 water feces, laminitis & summer eczema – what practical experience shows
❓ Does zeolite work for water feces in horses?
Yes, zeolite can be supportive for water feces in horses. This natural mineral binds excess acids, toxins, and harmful substances in the intestine that arise from malfermentation. At the same time, it soothes the irritated intestinal lining and stabilizes the intestinal environment. Zeolite is particularly helpful for water feces caused by feeding or stress, as well as being part of a holistic intestinal detoxification.
Simply increase the dosage and allow the zeolite powder to boost the horse's self-regeneration. Here you can read the article: Water feces in horses - causes, home remedies, and naturopathy.
Good to know
Water feces is not an independent disease but a symptom with various possible causes. Feeding, forage quality, stress, dental problems, parasites, or changes in the intestinal flora can play a role.
Zeolite does not replace clarification of the cause, but it can be used effectively as part of a holistic feeding management. For persistent symptoms, the cause should always be clarified in consultation with veterinarians or other specialists.
❓ Are there studies on the effectiveness of zeolite for diarrhea and water feces?
Yes, there are. Studies in horses on zeolite efficacy for water feces are still limited. Insights are largely derived from other animals (lambs, calves, pigs, and chickens) from general veterinary investigations. However, these provide strong evidence that zeolite can also be effective in horses for binding toxins, protecting the intestinal mucosa, improving stool consistency, and stabilizing gut flora. That's already something.
You can read all the details in the article: Zeolite for water feces – efficacy and study situation.
❓How can zeolite support with laminitis?
"Zeolite helps with toxic laminitis and removes the toxins from the body. A horse that has been prone to laminitis will tend to suffer from it again. Zeolite can have a preventive effect with regular intake."
Armin Eberle, Swiss Hoof Orthopedist.

All chronic and acute diseases are attributable 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 farrier recommended your products. I am looking for a good "remedy" to help my Icelandic gelding with summer eczema.
With our product Horsekraft Zeolite Black Cumin, many horse owners have reported good results against skin eczema and especially for summer eczema. Supplementing with the zeolite-black cumin powder helps against skin inflammation and supports the horse in defending against mosquitoes, flies, and other insects through the gut. If the affected areas are weeping, our skin powder can additionally 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 smell of black cumin. It is not detectable by our human nose, but biting midges, horseflies, and ticks can sense it. And they don't like 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 does the black cumin-zeolite powder work? Because zeolite binds harmful substances and prepares the environment for 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 cause allergies in horses. And yes, our Horsekraft black cumin is organic quality. So: Zeolite binds harmful substances in the intestine and allows the black cumin to work well.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My mare often struggled with skin eczemas and allergies. Since I started 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 eczema with my two horses. This black cumin-zeolite mix 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 intestine, thereby relieving the organism. Zeolite has also been researched and used in various areas of veterinary medicine for years—for example, to support gut flora or with problems such as water feces.
In practice, veterinarians report that horses with sensitive digestion, during the coat change, or under increased stress can benefit from zeolite. Additionally, zeolite is valued by agricultural experts, where it has long been used to improve feed hygiene and in stable management. Read more about this: 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 water feces or feed changes. Many animals show significant improvement within a few weeks without experiencing side effects." – Practicing equine veterinarian

From Practice
In conversations with horse owners, it repeatedly emerges 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 an integral part of holistic feeding management.
Our tip: Observe your horse carefully and allow time for changes. 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 for Horses – Feeding Step by Step
❓What particle size/fineness should zeolite powder for horses have?
Together with zeolite experts, we have decided on a medium particle size of 24 microns (the abbreviation for micron is: µm) for application in horses. If the particle size were larger, a higher dosage would be necessary to achieve the same effect. The coarser the particle, 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 quite a sensitive matter, so 24 microns is quite perfect.
Read more about particle size/fineness >>>
❓How do I properly dose zeolite for horses?
We recommend using the horse's weight as a guide.
So:
If your horse weighs 400kg: then give it 25g zeolite = 2.5 scoops per day mixed into the horse 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.
❓Which is better: zeolite powder or zeolite pellets? VIDEO
That's a matter of taste. The 24µm powder is gently pelleted in the pellets and absolutely no additives are added. Yes, the pellets hold. Nothing extra is needed.

Pellets are easier to dose, easier to handle, and don't create dust. Powder and pellets cost the same. We wanted it that way. I don't want the price to be the deciding factor. I want you to decide what makes more sense. We decided to produce pellets because customers repeatedly asked for them and wished 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 authority generally states that the pellets must be dissolved beforehand. You can sprinkle it well on hay and moisten it slightly.
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.
Get inspired and send us your tip. Your tip is certainly also interesting for other horse owners :-) Hop 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 actually what it's called) additive for optimizing feed.
The correct name for zeolite powder is 1g568 and it is approved as a binder and anti-caking agent for reducing contamination of feed. For all animal species.
Therefore, zeolite belongs in the feed and must be mixed homogeneously there. Into the mash or onto the hay and then moisten. Once a day. If the horse receives medication or additional mineral feed, make sure there are at least 2 hours between them.
You can find the 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., firmly bound and not released) nor absorbed (i.e., sucked in), but it is possible that they stick to the zeolite powder. Please also allow - as with medication - at least two hours between them.
❓Does zeolite bind vitamins?
No. Their structure is definitely too large and they don't fit into the crystal lattices. Therefore, zeolite cannot interact with vitamins or amino acids.
❓How long should zeolite be fed to horses? Permanently or as a cure?
We recommend a cure first. For 2-3 months. With a double dose. Especially if you haven't optimized the feed for a long time or detoxified the horse. But no more than 1% of the feed amount. This 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 continuously 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 the inside. During coat change, for relaxation, in case of metabolic disorders, if it has become too fat, in case of lack of exercise, in stressful situations - stable change, 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 feed zeolite - BEFORE intestinal cleansing and great herbs ... or DURING?
We recommend optimizing the feed with zeolite before intestinal cleansing or great herbs, so that the intestine transports away the 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 at all, and the active ingredients of the sometimes quite expensive herbs cannot fully unfold their 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 binder to become pellets.
Zeolite pellets contain only zeolite. 100%.
❓Is zeolite on the doping list?
No. Zeolite is doping-free. It is 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 skin and has a better body feeling, or the horse becomes livelier and more alert because the intestine does not 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 also have to feed more to achieve the desired effect (feeding more would also mean it's more expensive, wouldn't it?). And it might then 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 loose stools. I then ask how fine the powder was. Most of the time 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 many times the amount to achieve an effect. And this amount then deters, and you then 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 to best preserve the natural structure and avoid abrasion
- Suitable particle size for use in horses
- Clear declaration as a feed additive and verifiable quality standards, produced by a feed manufacturer
2. Tribomechanically pulverized and activated in an air stream. This is the only way the natural mineral can unleash its full potential, because it is charged and thus the suction effect is truly created. And above all, it remains pure.
Recently we had a phone call with a customer. She wanted to know if tribomechanical grinding is really that important, if it isn't somewhat overrated. 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, the probability is very high that metal abrasion from the balls is in the zeolite powder. In addition, the crystal lattices inside the zeolite are squeezed, 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 pollutant loads. Our 2 hypotheses:
1. Grinding with conventional grinding methods (the dark cloud is the abrasion. Zeolite has iron in it. But if a cloud is actually visible, then it is abrasion.)
2. Storage: If zeolite is incorrectly packaged, incorrectly transported, and incorrectly stored, the originally pure zeolite can be contaminated because this natural mineral attracts pollutants. Prof. Dr. Hecht emphatically pointed out these contamination possibilities and told many stories about them. No bulk goods as raw material, always in sealed big bags.
❓Where does Steinkraft Zeolite come from - where is it mined?
We looked at all raw materials from the EU more closely and chose the mining site in Eastern Slovakia. This raw material was most appealing to the production experts (and they looked at 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 that product. Zeolite is rock. It cannot be organic. Only natural. So, if "organic zeolite" or "zeolite of organic quality" is written anywhere, it's a marketing gimmick or deliberate misleading of consumers. It cannot be.
We think that's important to say. These manipulative statements suggest a lack of care given to this valuable natural product. It annoys us. Prof. Hecht repeatedly asked for clarification here. We want to contribute to that.
❓How is Steinkraft Zeolite ground?
Steinkraft pulverizes tribomechanically. We have a huge machine in production, actually two of them, nicely lined up in parallel. We decide when to micronize and how fine we want the powder to be. You can read more about it here >>
❓Is Steinkraft Zeolite regularly tested for heavy metals?
Yes. Feed manufacturers are obliged to do so. BUT: a heavy metal analysis of the ground product is important. This way, heavy metal contamination from grinding with ball mills does not become visible only during the magnet test. And HORSEKRAFT Zeolite for horses is manufactured by a certified feed manufacturer. CO2 neutral. If that interests anyone. For us, it is important.
❓Can aluminum leach from zeolite?
No. I know it's a circulating rumor that aluminum could leach out and then my horse would get aluminum exposure from zeolite. That's nonsense.
Aluminum is firmly bound in natural zeolite. The higher the silicon-to-aluminum ratio, the more stable this compound is. Anything above 5:1 is good. Again: Prof. Hecht always said that not the amount of aluminum, but the ratio of silicon to aluminum is important.
However, with synthetically produced zeolite, it is very possible that aluminum is not quite as firmly bound and therefore leaches. As I said: with synthetically produced zeolite.
Therefore, it is also important to buy natural zeolite. Preferably from a trustworthy zeolite manufacturer. Zeolite dealers sometimes don't know that much either. I notice that 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 greater its effect – is that true?
No, that's not true. Prof. Dr. Karl Hecht emphasized this repeatedly. The mineralogical analysis always provides "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 is crucial. Tribomechanical grinding is important because this pulverization method does not contaminate the material, maintains its purity, and most importantly, breaks up the crystal lattice structures instead of squeezing them together.
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 toxins in the body, mycotoxins in moldy hay need to be removed from the body. The gut microbiome needs to be rebalanced again and again. 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.
