our services

Our comprehensive nutrition services are designed to help equines at any phase of their life and career. Whether it’s preventative maintenance for an aging equine, or problem-solving a specific issue with a performance horse, we are committed to working with owners on a customized, sustainable solution. We have a passion for helping clients with the overwhelming feat of equine nutrition and strive to fully understand each situation in order to obtain precise analysis and recommendations.

In addition to our detailed analysis, we consider all factors from one equine to another, from genetics and breed, to environment and budget. 

Our unique approach prioritizes the best fit for horse and owner. This may mean working with the current program, making recommendations for a best fit program based on our data, or a complete nutritional overhaul.

What if I told you we could feed your animal in a way that helps them look and feel their best from the inside out through balanced nutrition, all while being cost-conscious?

the bcs 5.0 process

We begin the process with an on-site or virtual consultation. Both of these will require the horse information such as the body condition score, a body weight and photos. 

Next we will need your feed program information along with the weights of each product in which you are feeding your horse. We will also require a forage sample taken by BCS 5.0 with our forage probe or a grab sample taken by you, if virtual. 

All of this information is used to run a diet report for your horse to check for nutrient deficiencies or excesses- such as energy, protein, vitamins and minerals.

Our diet reports are discussed together in person or virtually and are 12-14 pages in length. The report will include a balanced diet for your horse whether that is tweaking your current feed program, a brand new program, or anything in between. We are truly here to balance your horse's diet in a way that makes you feel good and that is sustainable for both you and your horse.

Did you know that over 80% of the diet reports that we run there are at the minimum 2-3 nutrient deficiencies found in the diet report?

“Rachael quickly became an extremely important part of my horses’ care. Horse nutrition has always been an area in which I’m not confident. Rachael’s evaluation of my horse's diet, including hay testing, was so thorough! And her recommendations have both my horses looking fantastic! Bonus is that I rest so much easier knowing their diet is on point.”

"We operate a horse boarding facility which specializes in senior horse care. Rachael has really helped us to dial in some nutritional and exercise management changes that have really made a difference. She has tested our hay, reviewed our feeding regimen, and offered realistic expectations that work with our available time and budget. She coordinated with our vet on our specific EMS case to review blood work and now continues to monitor her body condition score overall regularly. She’s also very easy to work with and very communicative.”
