Many herbs, including ROSEHIPS, can be fed in their dried form, but this may mean that it sometimes takes a while for an improvement to be seen. By simply making an infusion with the herb, the active constituents are made more readily available and are more easily absorbed by the horse. Ideally, add a ½ litre/pint of boiling water to the herbs to be given that day. When cooled, the whole infusion (including the herbs) can be used to dampen down the horses feed. If access to a kettle is not practical, soaking overnight in cold water will also help to release the active constituents.
