The benefits of non-thc CBD for horses
Field trials conducted with Centaur Health Equine Veterinarians found that non-THC CBD helped reduce overall anxiety. Horses that were "unhappy" in training became "happier" and more focused in their training sessions. Horses that were exhibiting undesirable behaviors in their stalls became more content.
Who wants a sedated horse, when you can have a relaxed and reasonable horse?
In our cases of horses undergoing rehabilitation, from tendon or muscle injury or post surgically, Veterinarians were able to control exuberant behavior and self exercise better and more safely with non-THC CBC daily RELAX pellets than with sedation. The relief was noticed most by barn staff in our trials because they dealt with the horses on a daily basis. Turn out and general handling became safer for everyone.
They also found RELAX to be complimentary to traditional anti-inflammatory therapy. RELAX allowed Veterinarians to reduce non steroidals (like Bute, Banamine & Equioxx) much quicker than expected in horses that were rehabilitating.
Another extremely satisfying result belonged to lesson horses that had traditionally been on long term daily NSAIDs. They were able to decrease NSAID dosages which made everyone happy!
In the case of the picky thoroughbred eater and those horses that would rather do anything else than eat, RELAX was a reliable appetite stimulant.
Studies have shown that omega fatty acids are beneficial in improving skin, coat and hoof quality. CBD is one of the richest and most balanced all-natural sources of omega fatty acids.
