1. What are Seasons Biome Blends™?

Seasons Biome Blends™ are functional herbal supplements designed to complement Fundamentals by providing seasonally targeted botanical support. Each blend is formulated to align with the natural changes horses experience throughout the year while supporting overall wellness across all 11 body systems.

2. Why did StableFeed separate the herbs from the feed?

Separating the seasonal herbs from the base feed creates a more flexible feeding program. Fundamentals provides a consistent nutritional foundation every day, while the Seasons Biome Blends can be adjusted as your horse's environmental and seasonal needs change.

3. Why should herbs change with the seasons?

In nature, horses don't eat the same plants every day of the year. As grasses, herbs, and plants change, so does the diversity of beneficial plant compounds they consume. Seasonal herbal blends help restore some of that natural variation to the modern diet.

4.  Do I still feed Fundamentals?

Yes. Fundamentals remains your horse's daily nutritional foundation. Seasons Biome Blends are designed to be added on top of the feed, not replace it.

5. Can I feed Seasons Biome Blends without Fundamentals?

Yes, although the blends were designed to complement Fundamentals. Horses on other forage-based diets can also benefit from the seasonal botanical support.

6. When should I switch to the next seasonal blend?

Generally, we recommend feeding the blend that best matches your current season. During periods of seasonal transition, a gradual transition between blends may be appropriate. Feed throughout the season or as long as environmental conditions support its use.

7. What makes each season different?

Each blend is formulated around the common physiological challenges horses face during that season.

For example:

• Spring focuses on metabolic and detox support.
• Summer emphasizes digestive, immune, and glucose support.
• Fall supports respiratory and metabolic health.
• Winter emphasizes immune, endocrine, and excretory support.

8. Why whole herbs instead of extracts?

Whole herbs provide a naturally occurring matrix of plant compounds that work together, rather than concentrating a single component in isolation.

9. What is metabolomics and why does it matter?

Metabolomics is the study of how biological systems respond to nutritional inputs. We use metabolomic analysis to better understand how our herbal formulations influence biological pathways and support movement toward a balanced physiological state. Our formulations are developed using available scientific literature, traditional botanical knowledge, and metabolomic research to better understand how plants influence biological systems.

10.  What makes Seasons Biome Blends™ different from other herbal supplements?

Seasons Biome Blends™ aren't designed to be the same blend fed year-round. Each formulation is intentionally crafted with minimally processed herbs that align with the unique environmental and physiological demands of spring, summer, fall, and winter. Combined with Fundamentals, they create a feeding system that is both consistent at its foundation and adaptable in its botanical support.
