What is it?
A native North American plant, Echinacea purpurea has been used in Europe for 75 years, in medicine and in tonics to maintain natural immunity. We have been growing the herb organically in Rutland for over 10 years. After harvest, this is processed in our licensed pharmaceutical plant right here on the farm into product that is exported across the globe, principally as an ingredient in human medicines for coughs and colds.
EquinaceaTM Echinacea extract for horses is used for the maintenance of the natural immune system of other species, especially for immunity against respiratory problems in horses. Unlike the wide range of water-based products on the equine market, EquinaceaTM is a pharmacy grade product that is traditionally formulated by professional herbalists to maximise the extraction of optimal actives, in a stable natural plant microemulsion.
Who uses it?
EquinaceaTM is used by many of our top hunt cross-country riders and trainers.
Richard Walker, well-known and successful Leicestershire trainer and cross-country rider, says:
“EquinaceaTM gives horses that added sparkle needed to win”.
Home-grown EquinaceaTM is also very popular with several veterinary practices who use it in their treatment of horses with respiratory problems.
This product should not be used to treat disease except under veterinary supervision.
EquinaceaTM is an entirely natural product and does not contain any substances banned by the Jockey Club.
