Hemp: Your New Stable Staple for Healthy Horses and Barns
At Blue Sky Hemp Ventures, we’re passionate about the transformative benefits of hemp for both animals and their environments. For horse owners and performance barns, our hemp-based products provide natural, cost-effective solutions that promote equine health and improve stable management. Whether it’s enhancing your horse’s coat and joints, improving nutrition, or creating a more hygienic barn, hemp is your go-to for better care. Here’s how our refined hemp seed oil, hulled hemp seed, and hemp fibre bedding can make a lasting impact on your stable.
Refined Hemp Seed Oil: Nourish From the Inside Out
Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, refined hemp seed oil is an excellent supplement for promoting a glossy coat, supporting joints, and maintaining skin health. It’s particularly beneficial for horses prone to stiffness, dry skin, or inflammation. Our refined hemp seed oil lasts 24 months, double the shelf life of flax oil. This stability prevents rancidity, which can lead to harmful free radicals in horses. Unlike high-heat processed feeds that oxidize oils, our hemp oil remains a stable, healthy alternative. Plus, this oil is a cost-effective alternative to many other supplements, delivering premium results at a competitive price point.
Benefits At a Glance:
- Supports joint health and reduces stiffness
- Enhances coat shine and skin health
- Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids
- Cost-effective compared to other equine supplements
- Longer shelf life: Stable for 24 months, significantly longer than oils like flax or camelina.

Whole Hemp Seed: Protein and Fibre for Optimal Performance
Whole hemp seeds are a powerhouse of nutrition for horses, offering a balance of protein, fibre, and essential fatty acids. By retaining the outer shell, you get the full benefit of fibre-rich roughage along with protein-packed, omega-rich hearts. With over 30% digestible protein, hemp seeds support muscle development, improve recovery, and enhance overall performance. The high fibre content promotes healthy digestion, preventing common digestive issues like colic. Whether your horse is a top athlete or simply enjoying a relaxed lifestyle, whole hemp seeds provide the vital nutrients needed for optimal health.
Benefits at a Glance:
- High in digestible protein: Supports muscle growth and recovery
- Rich in fibre: Promotes gut health and aids digestion
- Balanced nutrition: Suitable for horses of all ages and activity levels
Performance Barns Leading the Way More and more competitive barns—especially those in show jumping, dressage, and eventing—are integrating hemp seeds into their feeding regimens. The high protein content boosts muscle recovery, while the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids support joint health, making it a go-to for high-performance horses.

Hemp Fibre Bedding: Superior Comfort, Absorbency, and Odour Control
Hemp fibre bedding is becoming a top choice for horse owners thanks to its superior absorbency and longevity. Compared to wood shavings, which absorb only 250% of their weight, hemp fibre can absorb up to 400%. This helps keep stalls dry for longer, minimizing cleanouts. Hemp also absorbs ammonia and neutralizes the smell of urine, creating a fresher environment for horses. Plus, it lasts about three times longer than traditional wood shavings, making it both cost-effective and eco-friendly.
Benefits at a Glance:
- Absorbs 400% of its weight, versus 250% for wood shavings
- Reduces ammonia and urine odours for a cleaner, fresher stable
- Lasts up to 3 times longer than wood shavings
- Hypoallergenic, dust-free, and environmentally sustainable
Why Performance Stables are Making the Switch Many high-performance stables are switching to hemp fibre bedding because it enhances stall hygiene and comfort. By incorporating hemp products like oil, seeds, and bedding, these stables are setting new standards in care for their horses and boarders.
