Why so many different strengths?
Why so many strengths? Each horse is different, so they will require different amounts to achieve the desired effect. 50 mg CBD is a good starting place for the average horse. As the strength gets higher, the hemp taste gets stronger. CBD is not like medications that go by weight of the animal. It goes more by what the desired outcome is. A horse with a mild joint condition will require much less ( we start at 50 mg) than a horse that is dealing with a more acute condition.
WHY CAN'T I USE MY CREDIT CARD?
With the implementation of the new hemp law many credit card processors stopped allowing CBD sales, which are considered high risk for credit card processing. Platforms like Venmo Paypal Zelle will not accept CBD payments. I used Square, and they quit all CBD sales last week.
WHAT ABOUT THE NEW HEMP LAW?
I The new Hemp Law was designed to close a loophole in selling THC (derived from legal hemp plants-artificially concentrated so it can get you high) in states where marijuana is not legal and across state lines. This new law slightly changes the definition of hemp versus marijuana and puts some stronger products in the category of marijuana as controlled substances. The law also only allows .4mg total THC per CONTAINER. When selling individual use doses for people it is possible to keep within this restriction. It is not possible to package my Hemp Flower Powder in an economical package to follow that restriction.
WHICH PRODUCTS ARE AFFECTED?
The Hemp Flower Powder, Human tinctures, and even the dog tinctures will no longer be available. I am leaving them on the website for the short term, but they will need to be removed when my new credit card processor in place. It is not possible to package my Hemp Flower Powder in a small enough package to comply with the new restrictions and still be economical.
WHICH PRODUCTS STAY THE SAME? ANYTHING NEW?
All of my pellets and liniments are unaffected by the new law. Make at home horse and dog chews and premade horse chews should remain compliant. All my products are actually made out of the powder itself, so all the goodness of the Flower Powder is in all of my pellets and chews. I mix the hemp with alfalfa and molasses or peppermint to make the pellets easy to feed. Doing so also makes the THC levels non-detectable. That is why the pellets are federally compliant with the new law. I may need to repackage the chews in smaller containers, I will know when a few more details come out about the law. Early in 2027 I hope to have a new product that will be more affordable to replace the Flower Powder, but still be compliant.

WHY PELLETS, POWDER, CHEWS AND FLAVORS?
For palatability and affordability. Horses, like people have different tastes. The plain 50 mg pellets smells like alfalfa, and almost every horse will eat the molasses and peppermint like a treat. Farriers Gold is stronger tasting, but still the majority of horses will eat it. The pure hemp powder is the strongest so for most horses you need to mix it with something tasty. All my horses will run me over for a treat. Through trial and error on our own horses, as well as many rescues and customer feed back, we have developed these products to bring you a variety that every horse will enjoy, and every owner can afford.
HOW MUCH SHOULD I USE?
The answer to this question largely varies from animal to animal, and especially on what you are trying to accomplish. We recommend starting with a low milligram amount and increasing if needed. For daily use horses can start at 50 mg per day (common) and can go up to over 600+ mg per day (more rare). A horses weight is not as important in dosing as is the effect you are trying to achieve. For occasional use you will need use trial and error to find how much CBD you horse needs to get the desired effect
