“Hi there Everdien
I have been using your Chamomile Calm in my practice now for some months now and have found that a number of horses with ulcers have been able to go off their veterinary meds and onto chamomile. The results speak for themselves. I am so glad to have found an alternative to this condition. Cheer A….”

Anyway 24hrs after the first 10ml dose of Devils Claw he was much freer in his action so I cut it back to 5ml (as he was a bit suspicious of his first feed and wouldn’t eat it-cunning old git) Easter Sunday I went on a quiet trek for a couple of hours on gentle rolling terrain and he was so much better again! This was only 2 days after his first dose…..I can’t tell how pleased I am at the result so far, it’s just blown me away totally. Thankyou so much for producing a wonderful product – I will be telling all my friends about it thats for sure.

Good morning guys
Thank you so much for the product, wow I can’t believe the difference in my horse in just one week! I started the happy horse a week ago, he is like a different horse, he’s back to what he was before all his surgeries! He’s happy again and very content, can I keep him on the happy horse or is it just short term? He was even much better at the dressage after only being on it two days, although he had one melt down he soon realised he didn’t need to be anxious, and every day he’s gained his confidence again! Thank you so much K.
Helen Eschebruch, A Bare Foot trimmer, has this to say about Happy Horse and some others. Her details can be found on our Contacts page.
I’d like to pass on my heartfelt thanks to Everdien for her wonderful, friendly and super-quick service.
I’ve known about Hira Labs for a couple of years but never purchased until recently. I sent Everdien an order for some Devils Claw and asked for a sample of St John’s Wort as well. I was trying to work through some mostly emotional issues with my younger mare and wondered if it would help her, after reading the product description on her website.
She has always had concerns about fear/anxiety and inadequacy which sometimes mean a panic response sets in. Wind and loud sounds seemed to be the worst triggers. As such she has been very slow to progress, despite the fact she is very clever and a fast learner. It got to the point that her panic reaction was getting dangerous: she did not intend to hurt me but performed some very athletic moves when upset or scared. I had addressed the physical factors (bodywork, diet) but was seriously considering putting her down if I couldn’t get to the bottom of whatever was causing her to react in that way.
Everdien warned me the product would take 5 days to show results so I might not see anything from the sample, due to the small quantity, but I was keen to try it and see if the horse would accept it – she can be fussy with new feeds and supplements. After a week, I sent E the following feedback. “I know you said it would take 5 days to kick in but, after just one dose, I swear it’s like she’s a new horse – great! She was calm, focussed and accepting, which is not normal at all. There were builders, cranes and trucks [house construction] just one paddock away [it was also very windy]: normally the noise would have affected her and she would have been spooky/jumpy/anxious. I rode again yesterday: same noisy conditions, same focussed and attentive horse!!”
She has gone from being unwilling to be caught, to saying “pick me!”
After trialling the SJW with the young mare and a discussion on its benefits when used in conjunction with Devils Claw, I also started my older mare on a low dose of SJW. It seems to have helped her immensely: I was able to very quickly taper off and stop the dose of DC, rather than supplementing continuously as I have with other herbal pain relief products in the past.
I have a full-time office job, and in addition I am a barefoot trimmer with a small client base (no more than 15 horses at any one time). Following the success of products with my own horses, I am more than happy to recommend Hira Labs to both my clients and my colleagues. They are good quality products that work reliably – and don’t expire in 5 minutes, meaning they’re no good the second time you go to use them! Everdien is always prompt to reply to queries with lots of suggestions for products and alternatives – which don’t always include purchasing from Hira Labs. I always feel she genuinely cares about helping each and every client (and animal), and products are always dispatched in record fast time.

The product contains natural plant based ionised magnesium and will help counteract the effects of ‘hot pastures’ and feed. The combination of active plant ingredients in cider vinegar ( alkalinises the blood) this easily absorbed magnesium together with plant sedatives like chamomile, scullcap, vitex agnes and passionflower help calm your horse during times of excessive reactivity. The bitter detox herbs act on the liver to help flush myco-toxins. Brewers yeast is also an inexpensive ‘toxin binder’ 1-2 tablespoons daily.To further enhance the calming effect add an additional capful (20ml) to the feed in doing so you will be giving more ‘calming’ herbs. Contact us directly at info@hiralabs.co.nz for information of the role of magnesium and how stress and a high cortisol set-point will cause the horse to excrete this essential mineral.
Dose 10-15ml daily when horse is on ‘hot’ pasture.
PLEASE NOTE:
We have replaced the litre with a more concentrated blend in a 500ml bottle where instead of 20ml daily dose it will be 10 to 15ml. We will give standard discounts for multiples of 2,3 4 and 5 bottles so the price will be comparable.

I can’t keep up with people wanting Anti Al Mag. It counteracts our Southland grass like no other product.One of my clients is having huge success; we altered the feed, the way of schooling (more relaxation and Hoofball!) and put the horse on Anti Al Mag. She was getting 58% dressage score on a really good day (usually more like 48%). Now their best score is 70%!
A few weeks agoI have two clients with warmbloods who are having amazing results on the Anti Al mag,I do think your products are fantastic though! I have a 6yr old tb off the track who is up to his feltocks in green grass and two big hard feeds a day and is as chilled as a cucumber on your products! Until I started feeding them he had suddenly gotten really agitated to the point where he wouldn’t even eat. Plus his itchy skin has improved also.Mel
Thanks Hira Labs!
You are saving me a fortune! Since starting my horse on the Equi-Anti-Al M, I have noticed changes which I can only attribute to the product. No more itchy skin, raw rubbed belly and horse dragging himself along the ground in ecstasy. No more need for ‘toxin-binders’ and extra ‘calming’ supplements. I am looking forward to my first Spring without the need for 15 different products or the need for a diet pen, and competing this gelding this season, with a bright healthy coat and sensible attitude.
PS When we started the EquiAntiAl, Red had a wicked case of mud-fever which we had had no luck in beating. It hasn’t returned, despite being in constant wet and mud for the last 8 weeks. …?!

I am about to ring Everdien tonight. I have had absolutely astounding results on her products this last month. I have stopped buying and feeding other products, which up until now has been imperative on this property, for every horse. I have a sane, calm, spunky looking horse, and I’m not spending collossal amounts on toxin binders and extras. To be honest I’m blown away.. My ginga is quiet, not at all spooky, and not nearly as girthy or sensitive any more. And I’m feeding him salt, too. R
Hi EverdienMy supplies arrived in the weekend; thank you very much.I was at the Southland Dressage Champs with Maxi all weekend and had lots of lovely comments about how amazing he looks and how calm and relaxed! All due to your amazing products! thank you so much.Margaret was very interested in what my secret was and I have passed on your contact details & a newsletter to her.kind regard Julia Latham Flying Horse LtdVisit her fascinating site as www.flyinghorseltd.co.nzPhoto of Julia using a Hoof Ball as part of a calming training program she uses with her pupils
Another comment.
Hello there! I just wanted to say, many thanks for your fabulous product – Equi Anti-Al Mag. I read a post on one of my friend’s facebook pages that got me thinking about trying it. My 13yo crossbred is very spooky (prone to staggers gets staggers) and while I’ve got it mostly under control with careful management and he’s still has the odd odd spook every ride. It is more annoying than anything but I thought I would give Equi Anti Al Mag a go thinking I had nothing to lose. Anyway, two weeks later I have a vastly improved horse. It wasn’t until my riding buddy pointed out that my horse wasn’t spooking at all around the farm that I really started to pay attention. I took him for a road ride around the block the other day thinking that surely if he would spook that would provoke it. Nope, nada, zip, zilch. I’m very impressed. He’s even been grazing in the paddock with the other horses on our ‘hot’ pasture wit no detrimental effects. Thanks so much!

Hi
The hormone balancer is working a treat – I have my horses mind back!!!
Please can I order a bigger container of it as I will keep her on it now.
Thanks N….
I’m having fantasic results with my mare. I pop 5ml under her tongue in the mornings when she’s in season the drop it down to 4ml between times.
All the unhappiness and discomfort she was having when in season have gone and I have a very happy mare all the time now. Thanks Megan.
Louise from Australia had this to say about Vitex agnes Hormone Balancer and Happy Horse (St John’s Wort)
Hi Everdien,
I’m seeing some positive changes in my horse since changing him from the submission onto the hormone balancer and so happy. He seems more confident in himself and generally less reactive to external stimulants. I also tried him on the Seda horse when I took him to a new environment for a lesson. Again, he was calm and confident and although he still looked about he was not ‘explosive’ at all. The other thing that was really noticeable to me was that he felt relaxed without feeling dull or heavy so we were still able to have a super lesson.

Hello Everdien, Thank you, thank you, thank you I had the ride of my life on Max last weekend, he was amazing, he let go and went forward and didn’t have his eyes trying to look at his butt ( well behind him anyway!!), he was with me and fabulous, his power was outstanding. I am so excited for the future.
So here come some more questions How long should they stay on these beautiful horsey ‘erbs??
I am competing this weekend, so do I double up the dose the night before? and none in the morning, or double up by dosing in the night feed and the morning feed??
Do you think I should order the Magnesium??
I look forward to hearing from you Everdien, and thank you again.

Hey there, Just a quick email to keep you posted on the progress of my stallion who has been rehabilitating from a torn medial meniscus. He has been on your Mobility Concentrate for a wee while now. Well today was his penultimate scan, his 4th since he injured himself back in March.Vets were gobsmacked at the results, cartilage looks perfect, and I mean perfect. Not a single sign that it was ever injured / torn. They couldn’t believe there was no sign of damage at all. The reason I am sending this to you is just to tell you that the only ‘supplement’ he has been on during his rehabilitation was your Mobility Concentrate. I think it made the difference. Thankyou.
Hi E Just a quick not to say that R— has been on the Mobility Conc. for 3-4 days now, and I have a different horse. He is soft, he feels looser for want of a better word. I had no tension issues on a schooling hack today and he appears to feel ‘happier’. I can’t wait to get on him tomorrow! Rachael
Hi Everdien,Best Wishes.
Denise O’Reilly UK 07814 286988.
I hope you are well out there. Could you please send me a litre of Mobility Concentrate when you have 5 mins. We are still very pleased with the products – fantastic!
2012-08-26 By the way used the Mobility Concentrate this morning and the mare was fantastic I could actually sit the trot and the muscles of her hind quarters and loin was beginning to soften and ripple as they moved. I think I am on a winner here.Thanks a lot Cheers Ann Australia
2013-01-15 First: I am certain the Hira Mobility Concentrate you sent for Barnaby is making a difference already in that he seems to be more “softer” in his back and is moving forward much more freely and energetically than he was prior to starting him on it, so thanks very much indeed.2013-03-10“Yes its me on Storm. She is the mare that had OCD in her third vertabrae and couldn’t move her hind legs. Our only option was to put her down until we found your wonderful herbal supplements! She was on Mobility Concentrate and Devils Claw for a year. Julia From Flying Horse
2013-08-24 and 2 x whatever the biggest size is of Mobility Concentrate please. My old boys have been grateful for the Devils Claw in the feeds over winter. I am cutting down for the younger ones (ie the 27, 26 & 18 yo) to see if they are ok over summer but the real oldie ,now officially 38′ will continue with it I think. He is much more active this winter than last and I think at his age he can continue to benefit from it all summer too. I have been known to take a bit myself when my dodgy Archilles tendon has been playing up.. The fellow I ride is noticeably freer and more supple with the Mobility Concentrate.

Hi E. Just wanted to say that my geriatric old mare is doing well on your mobility products. There’s been a noticeable improvement in her movement as well as her temperament as she seems less grumpy and is far more willing to move around the paddock keeping up with the young ones.. Thanks a million for your help.Regards Michelle
2012-07-01
Thanks so much. I can’t believe the difference, and I noticed it within a few days of starting him on it. I thought it might be a coincidence at first (wary of getting my hopes up) but it continued and hasn’t stopped. He felt so good he even decided to try jumping the arena fence when we were practicing our dressage test LOL!
Fantastic products and fantastic service!
Thanks so much

Hi Everdien,
Oh my goodness… I want to say a HUGE thank you as you have made a massive difference to my 14 yr old pony! After only three days on the Mobility Tonic and the Devils Claw Herbal Blend we saw a substantial improvement in the way he moves. My daughter and I really appreciate your help in his natural well being. We look forward to continuing our customer relationship. I am thrilled to have recommended you to friends.
Kind Regards

25-05-15 “I am a race horse trainer and have used a number of your products for the past few years. I have a horse that has had on and off lameness for quite a few months. I got you Equi-Ech for a horse with mudfever and used it on this horse. I am really amazed that the lameness disappeared on the days I used it and came back the days I didn’t”
