TRIBUTE ☀️JUNE SALE - 20%-OFF *Organic herbal blend for horses - fast-acting support for acute discomfort, injury, and flare-ups
Whether your horse is managing an acute flare-up, sudden injury or onset laminitis, TriBute’s potent, fast-acting formula offers effective support for acute emergency episodes.
"I mpressed how well this worked. Would definitely recommend. " Nikki S.
There are moments when a horse suddenly tells you something isn't right. The onset of a laminitic episode, a field injury leaves them unable to move, or an old issue flares up seemingly out of nowhere.
Those are the moments we formulated TriBute for - a concentrated herbal tincture for rapid absorption during the critical first hours and days of an acute episode, while the situation stabilises and you put a plan in place.
Once the acute phase has settled, most horses can then transition to DuoBute for steadier, longer-term maintenance support if needed.

Overview
Pain is one of the most disruptive experiences for horses, significantly impacting their quality of life.
And here's something that's easy to miss - acute discomfort and chronic discomfort may look similar from the outside, but biologically they're very different.
Acute discomfort is the body's emergency response. It's designed to grab attention, limit movement, and protect damaged tissues while the body assesses what's happened.
It's an intelligent system. The challenge is that during those first hours and days, the inflammatory response can become intense, creating significant discomfort and stress for both horse and owner.
That's why we tend to think about comfort support in two phases. The first phase is acute - the immediate period following an injury, flare-up, or sudden episode where rapid support is often most valuable.
The second phase is longer term - once the situation has settled and the focus shifts towards maintaining comfort and mobility over time.
TriBute is designed for short-term use during those more intense moments, providing rapid botanical support while the dust settles and a longer-term plan begins to take shape.
How TriBute fits into your horse's support plan
TriBute is designed for those moments when something suddenly changes.
✔ Your horse has suffered a strain, injury, or knock and is clearly uncomfortable
✔ A laminitic episode has started, with heat, pulses, or sudden foot sensitivity
✔ An old issue has flared up unexpectedly
✔ Your horse needs additional short-term comfort support during a particularly challenging period
✔ You're dealing with the first hours or days of an acute event while putting a wider plan in place
In short: when discomfort arrives suddenly rather than gradually, TriBute is designed to provide short-term support during those critical early hours and days.
For many owners, TriBute becomes the emergency bottle kept on the shelf for when life throws the unexpected at their horse.
Once the acute phase has settled, support can then be adapted depending on what comes next.
- Moving from acute to longer-term maintenance support
- DuoBute – for ongoing day-to-day comfort support once the immediate situation has stabilised.
- Supporting the wider picture
- JSTTonic – where stiffness, wear-and-tear, or longer-term mobility concerns become part of the picture.
- JointReflexa – where additional support for cartilage, connective tissue, and structural resilience is needed during recovery.
- MetaTonic – where footiness or comfort concerns sit alongside metabolic patterns.
- PSSMFlex – where muscular stiffness, tying-up tendencies, or muscle recovery are contributing factors.
It provides the short-term bridge between the acute event and whatever longer-term support your horse may need afterwards.
- Foundation support
Recovery depends on more than targeted supplements alone. Supporting your horse's baseline nutrition with a forage-based mineral blend such as VitaComplete or EquiVita helps provide the nutritional foundations that healthy tissues, recovery pathways, and long-term resilience depend upon.
In summary: keep TriBute for the unexpected. Use it during the acute phase, then transition to the more appropriate long-term support once the dust has settled and the bigger picture becomes clearer.
Composition & feed guide
TriBute is a nutritional, functional food supplement and not veterinary medicine. For more information, see Dr Kellon's article - Nutrition is not 'Alternative' Therapy .
Composition glossary
Each herb in TriBute plays a fast-acting role in supporting acute comfort, easing inflammatory tension, and helping the body navigate the immediate demands of pain and tissue strain.
Together, they offer targeted botanical support during those critical early hours of discomfort.
- Filipendula ulmaria – A soothing, mucilage-rich herb containing natural salicylates that help maintain normal inflammatory balance.
- Salix alba – A classic source of natural salicylates that supports the body’s innate comfort pathways, helping maintain steady inflammatory responses and ease tissue sensitivity, without the risks of conventional NSAIDs.
- Harpagophytum procumbens - A powerful root traditionally used to support short-term musculoskeletal comfort, known for helping acute inflammatory balance during episodes of sudden discomfort.
Feed guide
💧Organic tincture blend
Our human-grade, certified organic tinctures provide a ready-to-absorb potent source of phytonutrients, for immediate absorption into the bloodstream.
- Feed 6ml/100kg bodyweight per day, i.e. 30ml for a 500kg horse.
Fussy eater?
Horses sometimes have their own opinions (and strong tastebuds!), so introduce gradually, building up over several days. See our Fussy Eaters guide for helpful tips if needed.

Energetic architecture - the synergy behind TriBute
Energetic Architecture explains how the herbs in a formula are structured to work together in a balanced and purposeful way.
TriBute is deliberately focused on short-term support during periods of sudden discomfort, combining three traditional botanicals that work across complementary comfort pathways, helping support the horse during more challenging periods.
Think of it as the emergency toolkit in the feed room - designed for the unexpected, not the everyday.
Functional intent
TriBute is designed specifically for the acute window - the first hours and days when discomfort, inflammation, and tissue sensitivity are most intense.
- Acute comfort and ease of movement
- Healthy inflammatory balance during flare-ups
- Tissue resilience during periods of strain or injury
- Digestive-aware support during short-term use
The formula works across three complementary pathways:
Inflammatory signalling → musculoskeletal comfort → digestive buffering
This allows the body’s protective inflammatory response to continue doing its job while helping the horse remain more comfortable and physiologically stable during the early recovery phase.
In short, TriBute works because the herbs do not compete; they reinforce each other across three complementary comfort pathways:
- salicylate signalling
- inflammatory modulation
- digestive-aware acute support
This creates a fast-acting, short-term comfort blend suited to sudden inflammatory episodes.

Big picture
The good news? Most horses don't need TriBute very often.
But when they do, they usually need it quickly.
That's why TriBute is designed for the "sudden" moments that catch you by surprise - when your horse needs additional support while the bigger picture becomes clearer.
Put simply, TriBute is the bottle you hope stays on the shelf - but you're glad it's there when you need it.
