Where can I find nettles, whole or supplement?

[Hels_Bells]

I'd really like to add some nettle to ponios diets, esp as I've heard it can help sweet-itch and headshaking as it's an anti histamine.

I have collected nettles in the past, dried them and fed them but it's a bit of a pain and seasonal, so am wondering if anyone knows if thy are sold whole and dried as an actual horse feed or supplement?

Alternatively I'd love to hear about any nettle based supplements?!

Dodson & Horrell sell them in 500g tubs. Feedmark also sells dried nettle.

Global Herbs do bags of them i believe. I have usually stung myself picking them in the fields and then allow to wilt for a few days before feeding them.
