Performance, Naturally.

In every rider’s life, there comes a moment when we stop and ask — is there a better way to care for my horse? A way that honours their natural rhythm, supports their performance, and nurtures the planet we ride on.

That question is what inspired the creation of Vital Equine — Australia’s first complete range of hemp and camelina-based products crafted specifically for horses and the people who love them.

Born from the Heart of Australian Hemp Innovation

Vital Equine is part of the Broadleaf Hemp family, an Australian-owned company leading the movement toward sustainable agriculture and regenerative farming. We’ve spent years studying how plant-based nutrition, natural oils, and eco-friendly materials can improve animal health — and now, we’ve brought that science to the stable.

From seed to saddle, every Vital Equine product is grown, pressed, and packaged right here in Australia. Our hemp and camelina crops are cultivated using regenerative practices that sequester carbon and restore the soil — making our products as kind to the Earth as they are to your horse.

Nature Meets Science — For Real Results

We believe nature holds the blueprint for optimal performance. Our mission is to prove it.

The Moulin Blend — a prebiotic hemp and camelina pellet designed to support digestion, mood, and coat health.
Camelina & Hemp Oil — a powerful anti-inflammatory Omega 3–6–9 blend for joint mobility and calm energy.
Ecosoft Hemp Bedding — dust-free, compostable, and four times more absorbent than pine.
Vital Balms & Rider’s Remedy — naturally derived skincare for both horse and rider, supporting healing and protection the way nature intended.

These aren’t fads or “miracle cures” — they’re science-backed formulations that deliver visible improvements in condition, comfort, and performance.

100% Australian-Grown. 100% Sustainable.

In a world of imported ingredients and mass production, we’ve chosen a different path.Vital Equine partners with Australian farmers to grow, harvest, and process our hemp locally. This means shorter supply chains, fresher products, and genuine support for regional communities.

Every bag of feed, every bottle of oil, and every jar of balm represents our commitment to Australian excellence and environmental responsibility.

Trusted by Riders Who Lead with Heart

One of our proudest ambassadors, Melbourne’s Lady of Racing — Fiona McIntyre, uses The Moulin Blend daily to help her retired racehorses recover and thrive.Her champion horse Precedence — a four-time Melbourne Cup runner — is now blooming as a show horse with a glowing coat and calm, steady energy.

These are the kinds of transformations we live for — stories of resilience, healing, and partnership between horse and human.

For Riders Who Care — About Their Horses and the Planet

Vital Equine isn’t just a brand — it’s a philosophy. We believe that what’s best for your horse should also be best for the Earth. That’s why our products are:

Carbon-negative — every hemp crop we grow captures more carbon than it emits.
Biodegradable & Compostable — no plastic waste, no harm to waterways.
Cruelty-free & Chemical-free — only pure, plant-powered performance.

Join the Movement — Feed the Future

Australia’s equine industry is changing. Riders are demanding cleaner ingredients, ethical sourcing, and natural performance nutrition that truly delivers. Vital Equine stands at the forefront of this transformation.

Whether you’re training for the arena, caring for an ex-racehorse, or simply giving your paddock companion the best life possible — there’s a Vital Equine product to support your journey.
