Cold Tea for Swollen Legs

[Louise]

Upping this tread from ages ago as I was wondering how all these neds are getting on with their cuppas... any updates?! Has anyone tried Redbush or anything else different? Has anyone's horse built up a caffeine tolerance yet?!

Any reports will be very interesting :-)

I thought this meant tea as an application, but I suppose it means cold tea in the feed.
It is said that the English women do not suffer so much cellulite as, for instance, the French as we drink so much tea and it acts as a direuetic (sp?). In that case, I can see how giving cold tea to a horse might work, but wouldn't they have to drink gallons?

I too have used cold tea for gunky eyes and I give my girl green tea sometimes but that is a good tip for filled legs' lots of antioxidents in green tea' get the tea leaves they are best and they can go in the feed as well'
