Meet The Herd
The Finer Forage Herd
All of our products were inspired by, and named after, real life equines that we have known and loved.
We have included their profiles on the website for you to get to know them, and for you to see which horses sound like your horses, to help you choose the blends that suit your horses. Never fear if you have a horse with different issues to address however, we're always happy to make something specifically for you if we do't currently have anything to suit, just contact us.
Sultan (Sultan's Ulsa-Off)
Sultan was an ex-racehorse, with many health issues. First and foremost was his gut dysfunction, with a tendency to lose weight and struggle with gastric health, particularly prone to gastric ulcers. Sultan was sadly lost to a field injury a few years ago, but he remains firmly in our hearts and minds.
Chaucer (Chaucer's Hoof-It Superfood)
Chaucer was an epic horse, with pretty good health, but a slight propensity for hooves to chip and crack. Our flagship superfood was formulated in his honour. He was Em's heart horse who was sadly lost to colic in 2021.
Milly (Milly's Meadow)
Milly is Nia's heart horse, number one teacher and leader into rabbithole explorations!! Milly is a classic good-doer, slightly metabolic, but she is generally in very good health. Sometimes her grazing needs to be restricted, so Milly's blend was formulated to provide metabolic support and dietary diversity, when access to varied herbage is restricted or lacking.
Boo (Chill Your BOO!ts)
Boo is a beautiful gypsy cob, who is often like a duck... looks calm on the surface but underneath, it's all manic!! Because he internalises his worries, he appears to go from 0 to 100 in a blink of an eye. So we formulated Chill Your Boots to help him to worry less. We wanted an anti-anxiety approach, rather than a 'doping' approach, to ease anxieties and worries, whilst still allowing the horse to process what they are encountering.
Doris' Digest
Doris was a drum horse for the actual Queen, and didn't she know it?! This beautiful mare always had a sensitive tum, and so we named our flagship gut friendly superfood after this one in a million mare

Rockstar (Rocky)
Rocky is an ex point to pointer, now living his best herd life with Em's crew, enjoying hacking and non-competitive zoomies nowadays. Like many sporty types, Rocky needs extra energy to keep him in tip top condition, so we made him:
