About This Remedy

Life after racing can be a significant adjustment. From a young age, racehorses are conditioned as elite athletes, with structured routines, changing handlers, confinement and ongoing performance expectations shaping how they experience the world.

Moving into paddock life, social groups and new riding disciplines can feel unfamiliar, confusing and even overwhelming. Many horses are also learning an entirely new way of being ridden, handled and communicated with, often while adapting to different expectations, environments and lifestyles at the same time.

Racing Recovery has been carefully formulated to support this transition, helping ex-racehorses relax, adapt and find confidence in a new way of living. The blend encourages emotional balance, social comfort and a steadier mindset as horses learn that life no longer needs to revolve around performance, allowing them to embrace the freedom of simply being a horse.

For The Horse: "The pressure is over. I can relax, recover and simply be a horse."

Why we created this remedy

With extensive experience working with thoroughbreds before, during and after their racing careers, we recognise that transitioning out of racing involves far more than a change in workload for these elite athletes. For many horses, it means learning an entirely new way of living, relating and understanding the world around them.

Racing Recovery was created to support ex-racehorses as they move from a life shaped by performance and structure into one focused on balance, connection and wellbeing. This blend helps support the emotional journey from pressure and uncertainty toward relaxation, confidence and the freedom to simply be a horse.

How to use

Add 7 drops or 3 sprays directly into the horse's mouth, onto feed or into drinking water at least twice daily.

Remedies can also be applied topically by dropping or spraying into hand and gently wiping on poll, top of wither and top of rump.

During times of increased emotional stress or significant change, remedies may be used more frequently as needed.
