As horse owners, we want our animals happy, sound, and comfortable — which is why CBD for horses has become so popular. Full-spectrum hemp is a natural supplement many owners use to support calm, comfort, and everyday wellness in their horses. Here are the main benefits, how it works, and how to give it.
What Is Horse CBD?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a compound from the hemp plant. It's non-psychoactive — it won't get your horse "high" — and hemp-derived CBD under 0.3% THC is federally legal. It works with your horse's endocannabinoid system (ECS), the network of receptors that helps regulate mood, comfort, and balance. For background, see Cornell University's overview of CBD from hemp.
Calm & Stress Support
Horses are sensitive animals that can get anxious around trailering, the farrier, new environments, or loud noises. Many owners use full-spectrum hemp to support a natural sense of calm and focus — especially around competition, travel, and stressful events. It works with the horse's own systems rather than sedating them.
Joint & Mobility Comfort
Everyday wear, hard work, and age can leave horses stiff. CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system to support joint comfort and recovery — a popular choice for senior horses, performance horses, and stiff joints.
Digestion & Everyday Wellness
By supporting a healthy, balanced endocannabinoid system, full-spectrum hemp can support smooth digestion and overall wellness, plus skin and coat condition from the omega fatty acids naturally present in hemp.
Backed by University Research
HempMy Pet doesn't just make claims — we ran the research. In a clinical study at Tarleton State University (Texas A&M System), led by Dr. Kimberly Guay, Ph.D., our full-spectrum hemp oil reduced measures of stress in horses during transport; a higher serving (0.6 mg/kg) outperformed a lower one, with blood levels peaking around 4 hours. Read the full study.
Easy to Give
Full-spectrum hemp oil is simple to administer — just top-dress it onto your horse's feed or grain. Our oil uses a gentle, palatable organic olive-oil base, so most horses take it without fuss. Consistency matters more than a single large dose.
A Note on Competition
CBD and cannabinoids are prohibited under FEI and USEF rules — don't use inside your organization's withdrawal window, and check current regulations before showing. CBD is best suited to pleasure horses, retired horses, and daily at-home wellness.
