CBD for Horses
All about CBD for Horses!
Here at Suzie’s, we love our equine friends! Horses
are amazing and emotional creatures that may suffer from anxiety and other
stresses at certain times such as trailering or in their stalls.
Can CBD help support a horse’s emotional and physical health? Since there are almost 77 million dogs and over 58 million cats in the USA, and only 7 million horses, there has been more extensive research done on CBD for cats and dogs. Regardless of this original focus, CBD research on horses has also begun, and both anecdotal evidence and research thus far suggest that horses may greatly benefit from CBD for a better quality of life.
CBD for Horses: How It Works
Horses, just like humans, have an endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is responsible for keeping the body in balance. Among other things, it is tasked with regulating appetite, mood, inflammation, and pain perception.
When a function is out of sync, the ECS alerts the body by releasing endocannabinoids—cannabinoids produced by the body. These cannabinoids attach to receptors that tell cells to start fixing the problem.
How does CBD interact with this complex sequence of tasks? Since CBD found in plants is structured so similarly to the cannabinoids that are naturally produced within the horse’s body, CBD can interact with the ECS in a beneficial way to make the whole system work more effectively.
CBD Oil for Horses: The Benefits
Horses commonly suffer from lameness, restlessness, anxiety, sweating, aggression, mood swings, and Cushing’s disease. They may also develop appetite fluctuations or suffer from inflammation problems and joint pains. With all this in mind, horses may require extra care and attention compared to other animals.
CBD can be a great option for horse owners looking for new ways to take care of their animals and give them a happy and comfortable life. Due to its interaction with the ECS, CBD for horses may be particularly helpful with fending off inflammation, anxiety, stress, allergies, and pain.
How Much CBD Should You Give Your Horse?
We generally advise our customers to give their horse 10 to 20 mg of CBD per day (1 -2 nibbles).
This may seem like a small dose for such large animals, however, it is important to note that larger animals, like horses, have a slower metabolism. This means they metabolize food and medicine much slower compared to smaller animals like dogs, cats, and even humans.
Will CBD Give a ‘High’ To My Horse?
CBD is non-psychoactive and non-intoxicating. Cannabis contains two major cannabinoids, CBD and THC. THC is the psychoactive cannabinoid that gives people the sense of “high.”, while CBD, on the other hand is well-tolerated by the body and is non-psychoactive and non-addictive.
Industrial hemp has been selectively grown for its high abundance of CBD and very low content of THC. All hemp grown in the United States is regulated and controlled for its THC content that must be below the 0.3% threshold. Such minute traces of THC are shown to have no effect on horses.
What Are Suzie's CBD Horse Treats Made of?
Our CBD Nibbles contain all-organic ingredients including dried apples, applesauce, rolled oats, oat flour, molasses, dried carrots, oat bran, flax meal, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, and full-spectrum CBD oil.
Our full-spectrum CBD oil is made from organic hemp grown locally in Colorado on our USDA-certified Fort Collins farm, and our partners’ hemp farms.
