Why UK Horse Owners Choose Gold Tree Organics
Horses have an endocannabinoid system like humans and dogs, but their metabolism is different — they're hindgut fermenters with a sensitive gut-brain axis. The equine products in our range are formulated specifically for horses, with ingredients that work in the cecum and colon rather than the stomach.
We don't repackage human CBD and call it equine. Every product in this collection has been developed with UK equine nutritionists and is tested by UK horse owners before it reaches the shop.

When to Use CBD Oil & Supplements for Horses
Competition & Performance
CBD supports recovery after hard work, reduces exercise-induced inflammation, and helps with travel stress for horses that compete away from home. Most eventers, dressage riders and showjumpers in the Gold Tree community feed Equine Hemp Pellets daily and add Joint Care Supplement during competition season.
Senior Horses
Horses over 18 often need ongoing joint, digestive and metabolic support. Our combination most often recommended by UK equine nutritionists: Joint Care Supplement (morning) + Digestive Health Supplement (evening) + Sugar-Free Joint Support Lick (free choice in the stable).
Spring Grass & Laminitis Risk
Spring grass is the highest-risk period for laminitic, EMS, or PPID horses. Kaolinite clay pulls fructans out of the gut. Horse Digestive Detox Clay Powder in the spring and autumn transition helps prevent grass-related laminitis episodes. The free-choice Kaolinite Clay Digestion Lick is the field version.
Stable Stress & Box Rest
Box-rested horses (post-injury, post-surgery) develop stable vices fast. Boredom Relief Lick + Reward Block Lick are the standard kit. Eucalyptus opens the airways, mint is calming, the licking action itself produces endorphins.
CBD Dosage for Horses (UK Guidelines)
Standard equine dose: 1mg CBD per 1kg body weight, twice daily. For a 500kg horse, that's 500mg CBD daily. The Equine Hemp Pellets (1kg bag) contains 1000mg CBD total, which is one day at the full maintenance dose, or two days at half-dose introduction.
| Horse weight | Daily CBD | Hemp Pellets (1000mg/kg) |
|---|---|---|
| 300kg pony | 300mg | 300g |
| 500kg horse | 500mg | 500g (½ bag) |
| 700kg heavy horse | 700mg | 700g |
Important: introduce gradually over 7–10 days. Start at ¼ dose for the first 3 days, ½ dose for the next 3 days, then full dose. This avoids gut upset from a sudden change in feed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will CBD oil get my horse high?
No. Equine Hemp Pellets contain CBD from industrial hemp with trace THC well below 0.2% — the psychoactive threshold is far higher than what's present, and horses don't respond to THC the way humans do.
Is CBD legal for competition horses?
Yes. The FEI (Fédération Équestre Internationale) and British Horseracing Authority (BHA) cleared CBD in 2022. THC above threshold is the prohibited substance — our products are tested at <0.02% THC per batch.
How long before I see results?
Acute calming effects within 1–2 hours. Joint, digestive, and coat condition take 2–4 weeks of consistent use. Most owners notice a difference in their horse's demeanour within 7 days.
Can I use CBD alongside Bute (phenylbutazone)?
CBD and NSAIDs work through different pathways. Many owners use CBD as a long-term base and reduce Bute dosage under vet guidance. Always consult your vet for medication interactions.
What's the difference between hemp pellets and hemp seed?
Hemp pellets contain the full hemp plant including cannabinoids (CBD). Hemp seed is just the seed — no cannabinoids, it's a protein/fat supplement. They're different products.
Do you offer wholesale for yards?
Yes. Yards with 5+ horses on regular CBD can apply for a 15% wholesale discount. Email wholesale@goldtreeorganics.com.
