Are Heartland's herb strategies really true?
I'm a big fan of the books and show, and I was just wondering...
Do the herbs and scented oils really work on relaxing and calming (etc.) calming your horses?
I know they're lavender, and there is also some nut oil (or something. xD)
But the main question is -- To herbs work to 'change your horses mood'? (Help them settle in, calm, relax, etc.)

Yes, all the herbs used in the show are used in real life aswell. For example, T-touch is used to help calm and relax the horses. Join up is popular, and a lot of horse trainers use them. The herbs usually do change the horses mood, but it depends on the horse. Some horses settle in more than others. All these herbs can or can''t work,

It really depends on the horse person. Some think its true, some think its not. Me, i very well do think its true. I believe in natural remedies &' herbs . To answer your question (opinionated) yes it works. As i said some say no, so it very well might not. I guess it depends on how much experimentin' you do . I LOVE LOVE LOVE heart.and by the way .

I know Monkspepper does work to calm horses - stallions are sometimes put on it to help keep them calm.
