As anyone who knows me knows, I love horses. I have my whole life. The last few years I have been interested in herbal supplements and remedies for horses. I have several books that I refer to often when we have a problem with Beauty. I had thought about a year ago that I would like to get into the business of packaging herbal remedies to sell locally to horse owners. That turned out to be rather daunting. It was difficult to find the herbs that I needed in bulk at prices that would make it worth doing.
The practice of herbal / holistic healing for animals and humans has been much more popular in other countries around the world than it has in the US and it has just recently started taking off here. The books I have were all written by Vets in the UK or New Zealand.
There is a company out of the UK called Hilton Herbs that does exactly what I wanted to do and their recipes are almost identical to the ones I wanted to make. I contacted them recently and made arrangements to become a distributer in the Seattle area. Currently there is only one place that I have found that sells them and the prices they have are unbelievably high. I can sell at a slight discount and still make money.
I don’t imagine for a second that this endeavor will make me rich by any means but I am hoping to make a little extra money each month with not a great deal of extra work. This is something I believe in and I have seen the effects of feeding herbal supplements on Beauty.
For now, I am going to try to keep it local and not have to ship items as that could get costly and time consuming.
In addition to Equine herbal supplements I will also have access to Canine supplements but I will mostly be focusing on Equines.
