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.
We begin the process with an on-site consultation. I will ask a series of questions to understand and address the owners’ goals, concerns, issues, etc. After taking detailed notes, I then touch the animal to obtain a body condition score and wrap a weight tape around the girth to get a weight.
Next, I will take photos of each side of the horse and one rear is taken for future results purposes and records if the owner consents to a photo release.
We may visit the feed room and look at what you specifically may be feeding/ supplementing. We may also use my scale to weigh the grain(s) you may be feeding and I may also weigh the hay you are feeding, per single feeding (important for calorie calculations).
Once all the data is collected, I get to work on the complete analysis nutrition portfolio. We will schedule a follow-up meeting (this may be done in person or virtually via Zoom). The typical turnaround time for results is 5-7 days post-visit.
