Green Clay for Horses
Green Clay for Horses
In nature, animals have been observed eating clay or soil, which could indicate a natural instinct to seek certain nutrients. If your horse is seen eating soil, it may be a sign of nutritional deficiency. Our Green Clay is a natural product that contains over 70 essential trace minerals and can be safely used as a dietary supplement for horses.
Green Clay is valued for its versatile properties and can be used both internally and externally. It can be applied as a poultice for external use and has been noted for improving hoof condition in some horses. It can also be used in certain external care situations, such as on wounds or as part of hoof maintenance.
Directions for Use:
Internal Use:
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of Green Clay to your horse’s feed daily.
External Use:
Poultice: Mix Green Clay with water to create a thick, muddy paste. Apply the paste generously to the affected area. Cover with a wet paper towel and wrap with plastic to keep the clay moist. Change daily or as needed to maintain moisture.
For Wounds:
Apply the clay directly to weeping wounds and reapply as necessary.

Additional Instructions
Adding Green Clay to Horse Feed:
- A typical recommendation is to add one tablespoon of Green Clay to your horse's feed, twice daily, for a period of 2 to 3 weeks. After this period, discontinue use. This practice can be repeated throughout the year.
- The clay can be mixed into the feed by hand, and it is advisable to use a plastic container for feeding instead of a metal one.
Preparing Clay Water:
- It is recommended to avoid contact with metal when preparing clay water. Use a plastic trough or bucket, and fill it with rainwater or natural spring water. Avoid tap water, which may contain contaminants.
- For a standard 20-liter trough, mix approximately 150 grams of Green Clay into the water. Stir it by hand and let the clay settle at the bottom. Refill and replace the clay every two days, and ensure your horse has access to both regular water and the clay water.
Poultice Preparation:
- To make a clay poultice, mix Green Clay with water in a non-metallic container until it forms a smooth paste. Apply a thick layer of the paste to the affected area.
- After applying the clay, wrap the wound with a damp bandage and cover it lightly to keep the clay moist. The clay can be left in place until it dries and naturally detaches.
- Reapply a new poultice as needed, depending on the condition of the wound.
General Guidelines:
- Avoid using metal utensils or containers when handling the clay to maintain its effectiveness.
- Always provide your horse with access to both clay water and regular water.
- If unsure about using Green Clay for your horse, consult with a veterinarian for further guidance.

Hi I have a horse in my care that has been diagnosed with equine asthma, or sometimes called heaves or recurrent obstructive pulmonary diseases. He belongs to a lady that ask me to do whatever I feel is best for his recovery and well being. Me being more inclined to naturopathic modalities want to clean his body of toxins that are causing imbalance in his body and these symptoms he’s having. Her vet (who is more traditional and old school when it come to allopathic medicine) says it is the form of asthma/COPD that is aggravated in the summer time and early fall due to heat and humidity and some molds that accumulate on clover and other grasses. Dust from hay and in the stalls also causes a lot of coughing for him so it is actually prob best he is in pasture the vet says. Vet put him on the usual Pharma protocols of prednisone and albuterol but I know these have many side effects. Can the green clay help to detoxify his body of allergens and the meds after his treatment is done? Please advise.
Thank you

“After training for months for a trail running relay race, I sprained my ankle to the point where just walking on an unlevel surface was painful. I poulticed my ankle every day for 4 days with Clay Cure Green Clay which kept any swelling to a minimum and within 3 days I was walking far more comfortably. By the day of the race, I didn’t let the team down and ran over 10 miles over rugged terrain. Thank you Clay Cure!”
