I was 35 years old, working at a pharmaceutical company, when the Universe told me three things. My complete nutcase of a horse (aptly named Brat) was not being helped by any of the calming supplements on the market, and I realised I had the knowledge to invent an effective one. My then two-year-old daughter needed more time with her mom. And the products on the market for animals at the time were either pharmaceutical drugs or seemingly arbitrary mixes of herbs with hundreds of unsubstantiated medical claims.
That is how The Herbal Horse was born. A few years later we extended the range to dogs and cats and named it The Herbal Pet. We export to the Middle East, Europe, and the United Kingdom. In 2016 we won a competition called Boost your Biz; the prize was space on Pick n Pay's shelves, which became the launchpad for our Nutriphase Herbals range.
