Rooibos for Horses – Natural Wellness from the Cederberg

At the end of a long gravel road, tucked between red cliffs and Rooibos fields, you’ll find Kookfontein—our family-run farm where every bag of Rooibos is grown with care, hand-sorted, and sun-dried under big African skies. We don’t just drink Rooibos—we feed it to our animals, too. And now, we’re sharing it with horse lovers across South Africa.

Why Give Your Horse Rooibos?

Rooibos is a naturally caffeine-free herbal plant that grows only here in the Cederberg. It’s rich in antioxidants, gentle on the gut, and has long been used in traditional remedies—for people and animals alike.

Many horse owners have told us:

  • Their horses have softer coats

  • Show fewer signs of stress on travel or competition days

  • Digest their feed better, especially older or sensitive horses

And honestly? Horses love the taste.

How to Feed It

Most horses enjoy Rooibos straight as a topper over their regular feed, or you can brew a Rooibos “tea” and pour it over pellets or hay to soften.

Start with a handful and see how your horse responds.

You can also steep a scoop in warm water, let it cool, and offer it as a natural treat on hot days or before travel.

Rooibos for Horses is a natural conversation starter. We’d love it if you:

Horse people stick together—and word of mouth is the best way to grow our Rooibos herd.
