Flower remedies (also known as flower essences) are natural vibrational preparations traditionally made by infusing flowers in pure water and preserving the essence in a small amount of brandy. They are designed to support emotional wellbeing, balance and resilience, helping horses navigate life's challenges with greater ease and confidence.

The modern flower essence system was pioneered by British physician Dr Edward Bach in the 1930s, and flower essences have since been used throughout the world to support emotional and energetic wellbeing.

Long before modern flower essence systems were developed, many Indigenous cultures around the world, including Australia's First Nations peoples, recognised the healing qualities of native plants and flowers and their connection to wellbeing, spirit and country.

At Thrive Equine Remedies, we use carefully selected flower essences from all over the world to support emotional balance, confidence, calmness, resilience and overall wellbeing in horses, because we believe emotional wellbeing is the foundation of a horse's ability to learn, connect, heal and thrive.

Thrive Equine Remedies are formulated to support emotional wellbeing and balance. Each blend is carefully created to address specific emotional states, life transitions or behavioural challenges, helping horses feel more settled, resilient and emotionally supported. Remedies are given in feed or directly to the horse a minimum of twice daily for best results.

Yes. Thrive Equine Remedies are gentle and suitable for daily use as part of your horse's overall wellbeing routine.

Remedies are typically added directly to your horse’s feed or given orally.

They can also be diluted in a small amount of water and administered over the tongue or added to drinking water if needed.

Because the remedies are gentle and palatable, most horses accept them easily in their normal routine.

Giving the remedies consistently is more important than method - choose the option that works best for your horse and your management.

Brandy is used as a natural preservative and has been traditionally used in flower essence and herbal tincture preparations for over 100 years. The amount present in each dose is extremely small and is not sufficient to affect your horse's behaviour, performance or wellbeing.

Many owners choose to use remedies before and during competitions, travel and other stressful situations. The remedies are formulated to support emotional wellbeing rather than physical performance. Although there are no restricted ingredients in our remedies, owners and riders remain responsible for ensuring compliance with the rules of their chosen discipline and governing body.

Yes. Thrive Equine Remedies are suitable for horses of all ages and life stages, including foals, senior horses, breeding stock, performance horses and retired horses.

Every horse is different. Some owners notice changes within days, while others observe more gradual shifts over several weeks. Consistency is important, particularly when supporting long-standing emotional patterns.

Many horse owners notice clear changes in their horse’s behaviour, relaxation, and emotional balance when using flower remedies.

Horses are highly sensitive animals and often respond quickly to subtle changes in their environment and emotional state. Flower remedies work by gently supporting the horse’s nervous system and emotional balance, helping them feel calmer, more secure, and better able to process stressful situations.
