Welcome to Mikko’s Choice, your trusted resource for premium CBD for horses. If you’re considering incorporating CBD into your horse’s wellness routine, this guide provides essential insights into how to do that. Our high-quality, carefully formulated CBD products for horses are designed to support overall equine well-being.
What is CBD for Horses?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a natural compound derived from cannabis plants. Mikko’s Choice uses CBD derived from hemp plants. CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) found in all mammals, including horses.
Why Do Horse Owners Consider CBD?
CBD is increasingly used in the equestrian community as a way to support:
General Relaxation
Body Comfort & Daily Wellness
Injury and overall mobility support
CBD for horses is commonly available in CBD tinctures or pellets, allowing for seamless integration into their feeding routine.
How to Choose the Best CBD Product for Your Horse
When selecting CBD for equines, consider these key factors:
Quality & Purity
Ensure your CBD is sourced from organically grown USA hemp, free from pesticides, solvents, and artificial additives. The ingredient list should be short.
Third-Party Testing
Look for products with Certificates of Analysis (COAs) to confirm quality. Mikko’s Choice posts them to the site.
Full-Spectrum vs. Broad-Spectrum
Full-Spectrum CBD contains a range of hemp compounds and has a very little amount of THC. Any legal product should have less than 0.03% THC. Broad-Spectrum CBD is formulated without THC.
Proper Formulation
CBD for horses comes in various forms, including:
CBD Tinctures – Easily mixed into feed or put on top of a treat.
CBD Pellets – Give by hand or add to feed.
How to Use CBD for Horses
Since every horse is different, it’s important to start with a small amount and observe how they respond. Many horse owners gradually adjust usage based on their horse’s individual needs. Mikko’s Choice recommends starting with two scoops of the pellets or 1 dropper of the tincture once a day. From there, and depending on what your horse is dealing with, you can increase the dose and or frequency.
Is CBD Safe for Horses? Best Practices & Safety Tips
CBD is generally well-received in horses, but here are some best practices to follow:
Monitor Your Horse’s Response – Observe behavior, appetite, and demeanor.
Stick to Trusted Brands – Choose brands that source in the US, test their products and share those results and are happy to answer any questions.
Store Properly – Keep CBD in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
Real-World Experiences with Mikko’s Choice CBD
This has made a huge improvement in my older mares. Keeps them comfortable when the seasons get colder and just overall seem to feel better. -McKena
The cbd pellets have been so great for my 32 year old laminitic pony. Having additional relief for him that was safe to add to the equioxx he’s already on was so helpful. I also have a very high energy neurotic TB cross that the pellets have been a game changer for when I have to put him in a stall. He used to get so wound up, and destructive even if left in for a couple hours. Now he’ll stay reliably calm and quiet on the cbd pellets even if I have to keep him in for a couple days. -Michelle
I am a long time user of the Mikko’s Choice products & am never surprised that I continue to find more uses for them as time goes on. In February 2023 we got in an older appaloosa gelding named Finn for training & resale. His confirmation wasn’t great & it was clear that he was stiff all over. When putting an older horse through our often rigorous training program, it can sometimes be hard for them to adjust to using their bodies as we ask them to. One day I had the bright idea to try putting him on the CBD pellets just to see if it would help to limber him up a bit while stretching, and the difference was incredible. He was much more comfortable & willing to use his body after about 7 days on the pellets. I ended up keeping him on CBD throughout his time with me and when I went to sell him, I recommended that his owner continue supplementing him with Mikkos Choice CBD. -Taylor
A staple product for life – our 14 year old broodmare started receiving this daily in the mornings at x3 scoops to help her knee (old injury caused a calcified bone the size of a grapefruit) and we watched her role in the mud and hop up like she had 0 issues. -Wandering North Ranch
My young TB was super stressed and reactive when he was in layup and in rehab for an injury. Mikko’s helped with calming during that process, and then also helped him transition back to living in pasture and living with pasture mates. It’s such a good product. The quality is awesome, the owner is super helpful in answering questions, and I really appreciate the values of the company in supporting rescues! -Brennan
I just placed an order for a 3 lb bag and I had my horse off of the CBD for a few weeks as we ran out and a new joint product was sent to us and wanted to see how he was with it – and BOY is there a difference. Every single time I take him off his CBD he is so different, so much more anxious, stiff, less lovey, overall just not the same horse, even trailering this last month has been hell for him. He will load but then panics once in. It’s evident even 3 years later now how crucial Mikko’s Choice is to his well being -Lora
