🌹 Rosehip for horses – a natural vitamin bomb! 💥🐴

August 7, 2025

If you're looking for a way to naturally support your horse's immunity, improve the condition of its skin and hooves, and provide it with valuable antioxidants, choose rosehip ! 🌿

It's a true treasure trove of vitamin C, which horses absorb very well. And what's more... they like it! 😋

What is a wild rose?

Rosehips ( Rosa canina ) are familiar shrubs with small, red fruits that ripen in autumn. These fruits are true "superfruits" – especially for horses during periods of weakened immunity, convalescence, or seasonal changes. 🍁❄️

Why is it worth giving rosehips to your horse? 🌟

🍊 A huge dose of natural vitamin C – supports immunity, regeneration and the fight against free radicals
💅 Improves the quality of hair, skin and hooves - thanks to the content of bioflavonoids and vitamins
🧬 Has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties – supports joints and the circulatory system
💚 Gently supports digestion and body cleansing
🧠 Strengthens the nervous system – beneficial for older and sensitive horses

How to serve rosehip? 🍽️

📦 Most often in the form of:

✓ dried whole fruits
✓ ground powder
✓ as an ingredient in ready-made herbal mixtures

📏 Recommended daily dose for an adult horse (500 kg):
👉 20–50 g of dried fruit per day (about 1–3 tablespoons)
It can also be brewed as an infusion and added to feed or mash.

🎯 Great as an addition in the fall and winter or during convalescence.

Are there any contraindications? ⚠️

Rosehip is generally safe – even for foals and older horses.
But…

❌ Do not feed it in very large amounts for a long time - excess vitamin C can put a strain on the kidneys in horses with existing kidney problems.
❌ If in doubt, consult your veterinarian.

Interesting fact 🌱

Rosehip contains more vitamin C than lemon – up to 10 times more!
Thanks to this, it supports the horse's body in a natural, gentle and effective way - without artificial additives.
