PurHemp Oil for Horses

The way that hemp oil scientifically affects your horse is through a system that is in mostly all mammals known as the ECS. This system is responsible for keeping all the other systems in the body functioning normally. Whether it's the cardiovascular system, digestive system, respiratory system, etc… they can all use a helping hand from our ECS.

The way this specifically works is that there are certain receptors that the hemp extract attach to within the bodies of mammals and it can be activated naturally or by supplementing with hemp oil. When we use hemp extracted hemp we are removing the chance of any psychoactive compound, binding to the receptors. Knowing this we may positively influence the ECS by supplementing hemp oil.

Nearly all hemp oils made for mammals are considered safe, but there are ways to enhance their effectiveness, such as sourcing the oil from top-quality hemp plants that have been grown with strict care. Reliable sources ensure a clean process from the beginning of the production.

The plant from which the hemp oil is extracted is a crucial factor that can make a significant difference. Two noteworthy hemp plants are typically used for oil extraction. Hemp contains significantly lower amounts of the psychoactive ingredients, which need to be filtered out before being used in hemp oils sold online. Using higher quality plants from the outset allows for a more effective and pure product. This kind of processing results in a safe and high-quality oil that can be used for your pet's benefit.

One of the major misconceptions about the legality of hemp oil is that it is derived from hemp plants that are commonly associated with a certain type of plant. Different strains of these plants contain varying ratios of compounds that affect their legality. If the plants contain high levels of a certain compound, it may be considered illegal because of its effects. However, if the plants are bred to have high levels of other beneficial compounds and very low levels of the aforementioned compound, they are legal. This is why we use only the highest quality hemp extracts to create our products.

We’ve mentioned before that we prefer hemp oils because they make administering precise dosages effortless, and it’s the easiest way to find out how much hemp a horse needs. Remember, all horses are unique and this along with the severity of their condition can greatly affect the amount of hemp you should give them.

Fortunately, it’s not a complete guessing game as your horse’s weight will give you a dosage you can start with and work from there. There is no unsafe amount of hemp you can give your horse, but we’ve found that lower and medium dosages are often all that’s needed and they don’t risk making your horse tired like high dosages can.

We break individual/single hemp dosages into three tiers based on the horse’s weight, and each has its advantages.

Low Tier Single Dose (0.022 mg/lb or 0.05mg/kg):

This is where we recommend you start and you can keep your horse here while hemp builds up in their system which takes a week or two. If using hemp for preventative health or overall wellness, this is a great dosage range to stay in.

Average Tier Single Dose (0.068 mg/lb or 0.15 mg/kg):

By the name you can guess that this is the most popular dosage as it greatly helps with most conditions without making them feel tired.

Strong Tier Single Dose (0.136 mg/lb or 0.30 mg/kg):

Our hemp oil for horses comes into two concentration sizes so it’s just as easy to give a precise dosage to a pony as it is a draft horse. Our 750mg is suited to smaller horses and ponies, while our 1500mg is better for larger horses that require more hemp. Same great hemp oil, one just has more hemp.

Hemp has taken the health world by storm. One reason is the long list of health issues it can help with. The other reason is hemp’s lack of side effects. There is a significant and growing body of research that shows hemp oil can replace many conventional medications that come with harsh side effects. In most cases, side effects are never seen with hemp.

In the rare cases when side effects are seen, they are fairly mild e.g. nausea and tiredness with high dosages (completely harmless). There is only one major side effect to pay attention to, and that is hemp’s ability to interfere with certain drugs metabolized in the liver. If your horse is on such a drug, we advise you talk to your veterinarian about hemp before using. This interaction is not uncommon as foods such as grapefruit and kale do the same.

When looking for the perfect Hemp or hemp product to give your Horse, you need to make sure that is of the highest quality and standard. In order to do this kind of research you are going to want to check a couple of factors to see if the one you decide to purchase hits these marks. The list of important factors will be listed below:

Hemp has phytoremediation properties with the ability to clean up toxic spills. That’s why it’s so important to only buy hemp derived from hemp that’s grown free of pesticides and other toxic chemicals.

Extraction Method: There are several different ways to extract hemp, including methods that use dangerous solvents that leave a residue. CO2 solventless extraction is, without a doubt, the preferred method producing purest and safest hemp concentrate.

Certificate of Analysis (COA): A COA is the guaranteed analysis of the hemp product. It’s undertaken by an independent lab and will show the accurate amount of the main hemp extract and terpenes. Make sure your hemp product has one and that the label matches the results.

Inactive Ingredients: Make sure to read the back of the label for other ingredients that aren’t hemp or a carrier oil. Almost all hemp oils will have a carrier oil such as coconut or hemp seed oil in it.

Full or Broad Spectrum: It’s highly recommended that you use a hemp product that is their broad or full-spectrum, meaning it includes the terpenes and flavonoids also found in hemp. These additional compounds greatly improve the overall benefits.

We’re proud to say that we uphold our standards to the highest practices and that’s why our full spectrum hemp hemp extract has been CO2 extracted and tested by an independent lab for the highest purity and potency.
