What Happened to the Weeds? Why Pasture Diversity Still Matters for Horses

13 July, 2026

Have we accidentally changed more than just our paddocks? Picture your ideal horse paddock. Does it have: But is it the perfect environment for the horse that evolved over thousands of years? Every day, we do our absolute best to give our horses everything they need. Quality hay, carefully selected hard feeds, supplements, mineral mixes, and we work hard to keep our paddocks clean and free from weeds. We’ve never known more about horse nutrition than we do today. Yet we’re seeing more horses with metabolic issues, laminitis, allergies, gastric ulcers, obesity and other chronic health challenges than ever before….

Horse Health – The Wild Horse Lifestyle vs Domestic Horse Life

5 May, 2026

Many aspects of modern horse care are shaped by what works best for us, our routines, our properties and our management systems, but these choices do not always reflect what is most natural for the horse. While domestic care offers safety and protection, it can also limit the movement, variety, social connection and natural behaviours horses are designed for. Understanding this difference can help us make more thoughtful choices that better support long-term health and wellbeing. Wild horses and domestic horses may be the same species, but they live very different lives. These differences in movement, diet, environment and social…

When it comes to feeding horses, hay is often a key part of the diet. If you have horses, you may wonder why hay is so essential and how it impacts your horse’s overall health.

Thank you for sending my order so quickly, I used the Arnica Cream straight away on my dog's ear, and within 3 hours there was significant reduction in the swelling. 1 day later the Haematoma is almost gone! I'm so happy I found your Arnica cream and don’t need to put my dog through unnecessary surgery advised by my vet.

I have to be careful what I give my dog as he has a lot of products he is not compatible with. However the PetArk Petbiotics Probiotic is good and appears to be having a very positive impact on his gut health. Though expensive it lasts for a long time. As a probiotic for a dog I think it is excellent!

Elizabeth

The girls are so much happier since I dusted the coop last week with Neempet Poultry Dust. One girl even perked up and started laying again already after her winter moult! I was doubtful that the treatment would work because there weren’t many other reviews but I’ve been very pleased with the efficacy.

Georgia

My mare was very hormonal when around other horses but since I have been giving her Greenpet Equine Hormoneze she is a lot calmer and relaxed. Definitely recommend this product.

Sylvia

Essential Dog Herbal Ear Cleaner works! It dries the wetness causing smelly, itchy, yeasty ears. Dry ears makes it so much easier to get that muck out and then maintain with this spray. We have a standard Labradoodle that always needs attention to her ears and find this amazing !!!

Leanne

Only after a few dosages of the Petz Park Eye Support, my cat lost the grey film behind his iris. Very happy and I will continue to give it to him. I am a Naturopath in Brisbane, but I always recommend GreenPet to my clients when they start talking about their animals to me. Just a wonderful service and website.

Miriam

HomeoPet Skin & Itch is a great product! It helped very quickly to stop Indie’s itching and scratching from an allergy. I love that it is totally safe and without any nasty side effects like the awful drugs prescribed by orthodox vets. Definitely recommended.

Alex

The Herbal Eye Wash is a fantastic product. After only a few days of use I'm noticing a real difference in my dog's irritated eye. She is very happy for me to bathe her eye as it doesn't sting. No discomfort for her and I don't need to chase her around trying to put drops in her eye, which she really dislikes.

Robyn

I’ve been using Faith's Cleanse & Detox for my little fur baby for 2 years now. No parasites, no heart worm and his fur and skin are beautiful. I also use it every 2nd day to keep healthy and parasite-free as my fur baby sleeps with me so it’s very important that I treat myself too. So amazing that I can share a product with my dog. I love that 🐾🙏🏽

A few months ago my 13 yr old Persian Ragdoll X had elevated liver enzymes which was cause for concern. My Vet recommended Milk Thistle and today at the Vet, his liver enzymes are normal, or as my Vet put it, “Phenomenal”! All thanks to Milk Thistle and GreenPet!
