How long does it take to become effective?

The horse powder and pellets take 12-24 hours (1-2 doses) to become effective. The horse paste, however, takes effect within 30-45 minutes which means it’s very helpful for calming horses for trailer, stressful events, and farrier or veterinarian visits.

Can CBD be used in addition to other supplements?

Yes, most horses are receiving multiple supplements and joint support and benefit from the addition of our hemp products with no adverse events reported.

If I give the powder daily is it ok to give a dose of paste before a stressful event?

Yes, the additional doses are recommended for higher stress situations. In our university study, horses tolerated very high doses of hemp with no adverse effects.

What is the best product for a spooky horse?

Our paste product is a full spectrum hemp extract, in addition to our custom calming terpene profile, making it the perfect solution for spooky horses. We recommend giving it by mouth 30-45 minutes before a stressful event. One dose (¼ tube) typically lasts 8-12 hours.

How long do the effects last for the average horse?

CBD in horses has been shown to help horses with mobility issues for 18-24 hours and thus daily dosing is effective. For anxiety or calming purposes, we recommend re-dosing at 6-8 hour intervals.

While CBD and hemp extract are nutraceuticals and completely natural, we would avoid using CBD products while participating at recognized shows (USEF, FEI, etc.). We recommend a withdrawal time of 7 days before any recognized competition.

The Problem

Horse owners know that managing skin issues can feel like an uphill battle. Between seasonal allergies, relentless bug bites, and chronic skin sensitivities, horses often suffer from persistent itching, inflammation, and discomfort. Standard topical treatments may provide temporary relief but often fall short in offering lasting hydration and protection. Left unchecked, irritated skin can lead to secondary infections, hair loss, and overall distress for both horse and rider. Finding a natural, effective solution that soothes the skin while supporting long-term health is a challenge many equestrians face.

Our Solution

VetCS EquiRelief Ointment was specifically developed to address the unique challenges of equine skin health. This rich, non-greasy salve combines potent natural moisturizers—lanolin, shea butter, cocoa butter, and beeswax—to create a protective barrier that locks in hydration and shields against further irritation. Infused with 1000mg of CBD, colloidal oatmeal, and a targeted blend of essential oils, EquiRelief provides powerful relief from itching, inflammation, and allergy-related discomfort. Whether your horse struggles with chronic skin issues or seasonal flare-ups, EquiRelief delivers effective, long-lasting support to help your horse feel comfortable and perform at their best.
