Hormones are a fact of life for mares – but for us human caretakers, managing a half-ton of hormonal sass can sometimes feel like a full-time job.

In the wild, mares typically experience only one fertile season per year before moving on to pregnancy, birth, and nursing. However, for our domestic girls, without stallions or foals in sight, those natural rhythms can become disrupted – and we’re left navigating a cycle of mood swings, tension, and unpredictable behaviour.

Whether it’s the young filly finding her feet, the sensitive mare in her prime, or the wise senior mare navigating hormonal changes in later life, each stage brings its own needs.

This is where gentle, natural support comes in. With the right balance of phytonutrient chemistry and a mindful approach to management, we can help ease those hormonal fluctuations, support reproductive health, and bring comfort and calm back into the picture – for both you and your mare.
