“Appropriate nutrition and feeding management is both a science and an art”
Equine Nutrition Expertise & Advice
Calculation of nutritionally balanced equine diets
Based on National Research Council guidelines, we focus on identifying energy needs, vitamins, mineral requirements and other essential nutrients required for your horse. We will then balance the ration with feeds and/or supplements at the appropriate feeding rates to meet these requirements. We do all the calculations, the math, and the determination of what nutrients are needed - so that you don’t have to.
Deciphering feed tags and interpreting forage analyses
Our goal is to simplify your horse’s diet and determine supplements and feeds that are appropriate for your horse’s metabolism, work level, and stage of life. We will assist you in determining levels of nutrients found in common equine forages and feeds, and demystify feed tags or supplement labels to determine protein, calories, minerals & vitamins your horse is getting. Our strong research and analytical background gives as a keen attention to detail, critical thinking skills. We see beyond merchandising and un-backed claims to focus on what is right for your horse.
Creative feeding strategies for your life and budget
We believe feeding your horse and determining appropriate equine management practices should not be stressful. Our services include feeding recommendations based on local or online availability of feeds, cost, work arounds for busy time schedules, and your horse’s housing or boarding situation.
Trusted advice for feeding seniors, performance horses, and metabolics
Diet plans including weight loss or weight gain regimes are crafted around your horses special needs and diagnosed conditions including PPID, IR, and PSSM. We focus on the current work or activity level of your horse and consider both performance goals and current health in our recommendations, consulting with other equine professionals if necessary.
See the difference that proper nutrition makes
We strongly believe that good nutrition for your horse will reflect in better performance, well-being, and a happier horse. We “work from the inside out” by improving your horse’s attitude and comfort by addressing nutritional gaps, recommending feeds, and and advising on feeding practices to improve your management routine.
