Camomile tea?

[cheeryplatypus]

Anyone give their horse or pony camomile 'tea', (not hot obviously)?

I had it recommended for my horses tummy which can be unsettled this time of year. Both my horse and highland are really suspicious of different water so I expected them to turn up their noses at it and only made a small bucket each (tea bag and hot water for a few mins, topped up with cold), however, they both finished the lot without any questions!

May help me get them to drink at shows in the summer.

Can't comment on the tummy yet but will see later on.

Hmmm no I haven't... not for digestion. I thought it was calendula for digestion - also brewers yeast and fenugreek is good, linseed is also good, and of course the good old mint.

I use a remedy from natural horse supplies that has chamomile, liquorice, mint and a couple of other ingredients for my old boy who gets tummy trouble. I make a big mug of tea each night then add it to his feeds the next day. Never tried getting him to drink it though? Smells lovely so he might.
