Mikko's Choice

Some horse products are born in a lab. Mikko's Choice was born in a pasture, out of a refusal to give up. Founder Emma adopted a BLM wild mustang named Mikko, lost him through a chain of bad luck, and found him years later listed on Craigslist with his ribs showing and his mane in dreadlocks. Two trainers were bucked off and one broke his ribs; another said the kindest thing left to do was put Mikko down. Emma said no. She started over from the ground up, rebuilt his trust bareback, and today they ride trails, work cattle and tackle obstacles together. The brand that carries his name is built on that same stubborn belief that the animal in front of you deserves a real chance.

What exactly is Mikko's Choice?

Mikko's Choice makes CB D hemp pellets designed with horses in mind. The pellets are made from 100% USA-grown hemp and contain less than 0. 3% THC, so they are hemp-derived CBD rather than anything intoxicating. The flagship horse pellets come in a 1 lb bag (3,200 mg total CBD, 32 servings) and a 3 lb bag (9,600 mg total CBD, 96 servings), with a consistent 100 mg of CBD per two scoops so you always know what you are giving. There is also an All Animals CBD tincture for dogs, cats, pigs and smaller animals, where dosing can be fine-tuned drop by drop.

How do you feed CBD pellets to a horse?

The pellets are built for real barn routines. You can give them by hand, top-dress them onto grain, or tuck them into another treat. Two scoops deliver 100 mg of CBD, and even picky eaters tend to take them readily because the pellets are palatable and sized to mix easily into a feed scoop. The same pellets can be offered to pigs, goats, camelids and other livestock, which makes a single bag practical for a mixed-species farm. Owners commonly reach for them around stress, muscle and joint stiffness, swelling and general comfort, and because dosing is steady you can adjust up or down based on how your individual animal responds rather than guessing.

How do you know what's actually in the bag?

Every batch is independently lab tested to confirm both potency and purity, and Mikko's Choice publishes those results. The hemp is verified free of heavy metals, solvents and pesticides, and it is grown in the USA in support of small American farmers. The company also stakes its reputation on value: its comparison chart breaks down price against actual CBD milligrams, and the pellets are priced to give more potency per dollar than many competitors. As a small, woman-owned business, Mikko's Choice donates a portion of every sale to animal rescues and proudly sponsors the Veterinary Cannabis Society.

Why should a horse owner trust the story behind it?

Emma did not arrive at CB D through marketing. After a horse trampled her and broke her back, a year-long recovery on prescribed opioids left her struggling with nerve pain, and cannabis is what finally got her off the opioids and eased the pain. Later, when her dog Mo was diagnosed with cancer and given four months to live, she tried the same tincture; those four months turned into four more years. With an animal science degree, a graduate degree in animals and public policy, twenty years in the equine world and time spent in the CBD industry, she saw that horse owners had almost no natural options that were both high quality and affordable. Mikko's Choice exists to close that gap.

What do horse owners say after using it?

One regular customer described her chronically lame mare, BB, who had carried navicular, arthritis, a tendon sprain and stifle issues for eight years through every conventional treatment available. After about a month on Mikko's Choice CBD pellets she reported the mare was "SO Much Better." Another owner, Mia, said her horse Rocket went from a painful, laminitic stance to moving roughly 95 percent normal within a couple of days, adding that "his sass is coming back." These are owners describing their own animals in their own words, which is exactly the kind of honest, results-first reputation the brand was built to earn.
