The Power of Hemp: Why Horses Thrive on Hemp Hulls and Hearts

In the world of equine nutrition, few ingredients are as naturally nourishing and versatile as hemp. For horse owners seeking a safe, natural way to support skin, muscle, immune, and overall health - Hemp Hulls offer a powerful, whole-food solution. 

Packed with essential nutrients and free from common allergens, Hemp Hulls deliver targeted nutritional support without starch, sugar, or fillers. Here's why more horses (and their owners) are making the switch to hemp.

What Are Hemp Hulls and Hearts ?

Hemp Hulls are the outer shell of the hemp seed - light, digestible, and loaded with nutrition. They’re a natural by product of the hemp seed de-hulling process and are rich in fibre, protein, minerals, and essential fatty acids. 

Unlike grains or processed feeds, hemp is naturally low in non-structural carbohydrates (NSC), making it safe for horses with: 

  • Metabolic conditions 
  • Ulcers 
  • Laminitis risk 
  • Grain or soy sensitivities

Let’s break down the top nutrients found in Hemp Hulls and how they support your horse’s health:

Magnesium is crucial for muscle relaxation, nerve function, and energy metabolism. 

How it helps: 

  • Encourages calm behaviour 
  • Supports healthy muscle contraction and release

Benefits of zinc from Hemp Hulls: 

  • Enhances skin and coat condition 
  • Improves hoof quality 
  • Aids wound healing and inflammation control 
  • Supports enzyme and metabolic activity

Phosphorus works closely with calcium to build and maintain strong bones and teeth while also aiding in energy conversion.

Why horses need it:

  • Supports skeletal development 
  • Promotes cell and tissue growth 
  • Vital for DNA/RNA production and nervous system support

Calcium – Not Just for Bones

Calcium is essential for muscle function, nerve transmission, and blood clotting, in addition to building strong bones.

When balanced correctly with phosphorus, it contributes to healthier development and performance.
