Why Choose Hebridean Seaweed for Horses?

Seaweed for horses is a natural, effective way to boost iodine levels in your horse’s diet. Iodine is a crucial trace element that supports equine metabolism, growth and development, and overall health. Our Hebridean Seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum), harvested from the cold, clear waters of the Outer Hebrides, is one of the finest sources of iodine for horses.

This 100% natural, plant-derived supplement is perfect for horses with iodine deficiencies due to low levels in their forage, helping to optimise their immune system and maintain healthy metabolism. Hebridean Seaweed is carefully processed to ensure that no artificial additives are included, making it a clean and effective choice for your horse’s diet.

What is Seaweed for Horses?

Seaweed is a natural source of iodine, an essential trace mineral for your horse’s health. Iodine plays a key role in regulating metabolism, supporting healthy growth, and aiding in proper development. It also boosts the immune system and plays a role in reproductive health.

While iodine is found in most forages, it can sometimes be deficient, particularly in grass, hay, or haylage grown in iodine-poor soils. In such cases, seaweed supplementation can help to correct the deficiency and promote optimal health.

Our Hebridean Seaweed is a highly bioavailable source of iodine, carefully harvested to ensure its purity and effectiveness.


How Much Seaweed Should I Feed My Horse?

The appropriate supplementation of seaweed depends on the iodine content in your horse’s forage:

  • Horses with iodine-deficient forage may benefit from small amounts of seaweed to ensure they meet their iodine needs.
  • For a 400-600kg horse, we recommend feeding 1 x 2.5ml scoop per day, providing approx. 2.5 grams of Hebridean Seaweed.
  • Maximum supplementation: We do not advise exceeding 1 x 5ml scoop per day unless advised by a forage analysis, as iodine supplementation should be carefully managed.

If you are unsure about the right amount to feed, please contact us for expert advice.

  6. TanyaManser (verified owner)

    Following analysis of the hay I am feeding, I need to slightly boost iodine. ForagePlus have calculated that I only need 2.5g per day of their Hebridean Organic Seaweed to achieve this. It’s easy to use and readily eaten. Perfect!
