Organic Cider Vinegar is one of nature’s superfoods. Not only is it good for the inside of the horse, but it has benefits for the outside, too. Organic Cider Vinegar can be made in to a topical solution to spray on the coat. Mix it 50:50 with strong, cold, black tea. You can also add essential oils such as citronella, eucalyptus or tea tree oil with a few drops of washing up liquid to keep them in suspension. Simple System Organic Cider Vinegar is not only from Soil Association certified organic apple trees, but it still has the “mother” in it, the organisms responsible for its fermentation to vinegar. It is produced for us here in Suffolk and comes to our warehouse direct from the orchards. Available in a 1L measuring pot or a 5L refill pot.
