I have experienced the benefits of clay over the years and I would like to share some recent examples that had excellent results with horses.
Clay and Animals
French Clay is a 100% natural ingredient straight from Mother Earth loaded with minerals. It provides excellent therapeutic actions, including antibacterial properties. It is an ideal product for your pets, including cats, dogs and horses.
It is common to see animals eat dirt or lick it. Some will rather drink from a mud hole than from a bucket with clean tap water. Clay is basically dirt with amazing therapeutic properties. So why would it be so strange to give clay to animals?
Clay is not widely used in Anglophone countries whilst in Francophone ones, nearly every household will have a packet in its cupboard. Clay is part of any good horse stud, agistment properties and equine rehabilitation places and is readily available in saddleries or produce stores in various forms.
Clay is a natural element that has been used by humans and animals since the beginning of time. Animals will eat clay, drink water from a hole filled with clay and roll into it for various reasons.
Clay is at its highest activity when moist, and should be renewed or replace after 2 hours. However, it can stay on for many more hours as long as it moist. Dried clay paste on the skin or coat is actually quite uncomfortable!
