CannaHorse product lines will address concerns like pain and inflammation, anxiety/calming, exercise and surgical recovery
CannaHorse, which says it’s the world’s first cannabis-focused equine health company, will launch a legal cannabis brand dedicated to horse health, providing a plant-based solution to traditional pharmaceuticals.
“With more than 15 million horses in North America and Europe, the equine health-care market is a growing billion-dollar industry. We recognize the opportunity to bring the transformative power of cannabis and cannabinoids we see working in humans and other animals to life for horses,” said Warren Byrne, president of CannaHorse, in a news release.
“Our team has deep knowledge of the equestrian world. We understand how horses are meant to perform and how to care for them. We are thrilled with Health Canada’s recent announcement about conducting consultations to allow cannabis health products to be sold outside the current cannabis framework and look forward to participating.”
CannaHorse said it will launch four product lines, created from specific formulations of cannabis using key cannabinoids and terpenes to treat ailments common in equine medicine.
“Product lines will be targeted to address concerns like pain and inflammation, anxiety/calming, exercise and surgical recovery, and overall wellness. Discussions are already well underway with equine competition regulators to provide the data necessary for cannabis to be viewed as equine medicine,” the company said.
Clinical trials will be led by Dr. Michael Lindinger, a former University of Guelph professor with more than 25 years of experience. He is also one of Canada’s leading nutraceutical experts.
“Cannabis is about to become the world’s most widely used medical substance for both people and animals,” said Lindinger. “CannaHorse is taking a measured and scientific approach to their product development, something that is vital for any legitimate medical product.”
