Summer is arriving and so is the need to stock things up from our favourite supplier Chia de Gracia. Thor has been using Chia de Gracia's products for many years and I can see a difference now that he has not been getting his dosage of Chia for the past months.
Last spring Thor was a little bit sore in the back and his hooves are always really bad toward the summer, so I called our nutritional expert Mirva Kettunen and came home with this recommendation.
Some Turmeric (kurkuma) since the active ingredient curcumin has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant.
Fenugreek seeds (sarviapila) to keep the horses digestive track healthy, the shoes on the hooves all summer and to keep the weight on the horse.
We also got Seaweed (rakkolevä) because it contains amino acids, vitamins and minerals, particularly iodine and potassium, and of course one of our all time favourite Rosehip Powder (ruusunmarjajauhe) that is rich in natural vitamin mixes (B, C) as well as oil.
Chia de Gracia has all natural and beautifully designed products and the service is impeccable. The webpage chiadegracia.fi has great information and I also recommend buying their leaflet ’Kanervasta Karpaloon’ that tells about all these superfoods that can be found in our nature.
