Nettles are rich in Iron and Vitamin C and most horses will happily eat them out in the fields once they have been chopped down and allowed to wilt so they lose their sting. Historically Nettles have been used to help support a healthy blood supply and circulation. Iron is needed for the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin. Vitamin C is an effective anti-oxidant, although this is not so essential for horses as they produce the enzyme, L-gluconolactone oxidase in their livers - which is responsible for turning glucose into Vitamin C. Nettles can be added into the horse's daily feed and

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as HILTON HERBS LIMITED, number 02724780. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "Hilton Herbs is rooted in the heart of Somerset, where a purpose built, farm-based manufacturing facility is run under audited European (UFAS) and USA (NASC) accreditation schemes." Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
No majority shareholding traced outside the UK. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
