BREATHEPLUS *Organic herbal blend for horses - airway-comfort, lung nourishment, respiratory resilience

Many respiratory blends focus only on short-term clearance.

BreathePlus is designed for horses needing deeper ongoing lung and airway support, with a focus on long-term comfort and resilience.

Formulated to nourish the deeper foundations of the respiratory system – airway lining comfort, mucus balance, immune steadiness, and tissue circulation – this blend supports the lungs through ongoing environmental pressures.

Choose BreathePlus if your horse:

✔ is sensitive to dust, bedding, stables, or arenas
✔ shows recurring seasonal respiratory patterns
✔ feels less comfortable in colder or enclosed conditions
✔ seems to work harder to maintain steady breathing
✔ benefits from foundational support beyond pollen season

Which blend - BreathePlus, PollenTonic, or PollenCOMBO?

Each supports breathing in a different way, depending on what’s driving the issue:

→ BreathePlus

Long-term respiratory comfort | Lung-focused support | Foundational resilience

Best suited to horses needing ongoing respiratory care beyond seasonal triggers.

→ PollenTonic

Early spring support

For horses with eye, nose and upper-airway sensitivity during pollen season.

→ PollenCOMBO

Escalating seasonal support

For horses who need deeper support when spring symptoms move into the chest.

From Carol Moreton, Founder, EquiNatural

BreathePlus was the very first EquiNatural blend - and it began with a horse fighting for his life.

In August 2006, we welcomed Kelso, my husband’s new cob, into our family. He was handsome, gentle... and arrived with a hacking cough.

Back then, everything respiratory was labelled “COPD,” and it was only meant to appear in winter. But within a week, Kelso’s lungs collapsed. He was literally fighting for breath - and losing. In August!

For a month we followed the standard route: Ventipulmin, antibiotics, bute, but nothing worked, and Kelso got worse.

Then came the moment we all dread. The vet suggested that as he was 17-years old, it would be kindest to put him to sleep.

I absolutely refused - every part of me knew he wasn’t ready to die - he just wasn’t getting what he needed.

So with nothing left to lose I hit the world-wide-web, read everything I could find about those whacky things called herbs, and mixed a small bag of respiratory botanicals on my kitchen table.

Within 48 hours, Kelso’s breathing eased. By day three, his eyes were bright again. By the end of the week, he was back in the field with his buddies.

That little bag of herbs became BreathePlus. At first it was something I made for fellow livery owners, until someone suggested I sell them on Ebay, and by 2008, I had a website called EquiNatural. Not because I meant to start a business, but because a horse of ours got better thanks to some herbs I hoped would help him.

Dear old Kelso not only thrived for several more years - he changed my life's work, where 20-years on we're still here!

If your horse is struggling the way he was, BreathePlus was made just for them.
