Nurtured by nature. Driven by joy.

The trouble with the feed-room shelf

Why generic horse care falls short.

Synthetic actives and filler oils are cheap to produce, but they don't nourish — they just take up space in the bag.


Generic products

Lab-made actives and filler oils dressed up in a plain label. Effective on paper, forgettable in the barn.

The Grateful Horse approach

Whole botanicals — chamomile, lavender, eucalyptus, boswellia — hand-blended in small batches, close to how nature made them.

The result

A horse that's calmer in the trailer, looser after work, and a bond that feels a little more grateful every day.

How every blend is made

Grounded in nature, mixed with joy.


Rooted in real botanicals

Chamomile, lavender, eucalyptus, boswellia — ingredients you could grow in a garden, not synthesize in a lab.

Reviewed by equine vets

Every formula is checked against real barn conditions before it ever reaches yours.

Hand-blended, small batch

We mix in batches we can vouch for by name — never so large that freshness becomes a guess.

Why we started

Gratitude starts in the feed room.

There are three of us behind The Grateful Horse Co. My wife has spent her career as a riding instructor — she's the one who actually understands what a horse needs, and why patience counts for more than anything on a shelf. Our daughter is twelve, horse-mad in the way only a twelve-year-old can be, and entirely devoted to her Connemara. I'm the one who ends up doing most of the heavy lifting around the yard — turnout, tack, feed, whatever needs doing that day.

Between the three of us, we've tried to keep everything as natural as we can — how we train, how we ride and handle, how we manage turnout, and what goes into the feed room. Somewhere along the way it stopped feeling like a chore and started feeling like gratitude — for the animals who give us so much, and for the chance to give a little of that care back.

Nothing on the market quite matched the way we'd chosen to do everything else, so I started mixing my own — botanicals and blends at the kitchen table, long before we thought about anyone else using them. What became The Grateful Horse Co. is that same care, bottled and jarred, made as naturally as I know how, for my daughter's pony and my wife's horses first, and now, for yours.

— Dad, and founder of The Grateful Horse Co.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions.


Every Grateful Horse Co. product lists whole botanical sources first — chamomile, lavender, eucalyptus, boswellia — with no artificial fillers or synthetic fragrance added to bulk it out.

It's formulated with the same natural actives found in many human muscle-recovery balms — menthol and eucalyptus. As with any topical, patch-test first and check with your doctor if you have sensitive skin or a medical condition.

No — it's formulated to support a settled nervous system, not to sedate. Your horse should stay alert and responsive, just less reactive to everyday stress.

Yes. Our formulas are reviewed with equine vets and are gentle enough for senior horses and those with sensitive digestion. If your horse has a specific condition, check with your vet before switching supplements.

Our formulas contain no prohibited substances under common competition rules, but rules vary by governing body and change over time — always confirm with your organization before a competition.
