Why Equine Nutrition Matters

The gut is often called the “second brain” for a reason, it plays a major role in everything from nutrient absorption and energy regulation to mood and inflammation. Yet many modern equine diets are high in processed feeds, synthetic additives, and non-bioavailable ingredients that can cause more harm than good.

Without a strong nutritional foundation:

Horses can struggle with chronic inflammation, ulcers, poor coat condition, behavioral issues, and recurring injuries.
Vital systems like the lymphatic, muscular, and immune systems can become overburdened and sluggish.
Performance often suffers, and recovery becomes slower.

By understanding and correcting nutritional imbalances, we can support the gut, reduce inflammation, and optimize every other therapy we offer.

What to Expect from a Nutritional Consultation

Every horse is different there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all feed plan. Our nutrition consultations are personalized and goal-oriented. Together, we will:

Review your current feeding program, supplements, and any known sensitivities or health concerns
Discuss your horse’s workload, environment, behaviour, and overall health
Identify any nutritional gaps or overloads (e.g., excess sugars, missing key minerals)
Create a balanced, whole-food-based plan that supports gut health, reduces dependence on processed feeds, and works with your horse’s natural physiology
Recommend supportive herbs and homeopathics where appropriate to address specific needs (e.g., detox, calming, joint support, immune boosting)

We also focus heavily on key vitamins and minerals including magnesium, zinc, copper, and selenium, ensuring your horse receives them in the most bioavailable forms.

Why We Move Away from Processed Feeds

Processed feeds often include:

Fillers like soy hulls and wheat middlings
Synthetic vitamins that are poorly absorbed
Excess sugar and starch that can disrupt gut flora
Preservatives and binders that add stress to the liver and kidneys

While convenient, these feeds can create long-term imbalances. Instead, we focus on forage-based nutrition, whole-food support, and clean supplementation to provide what your horse truly needs.

The Power of Homeopathy & Herbology

Homeopathy and herbology are two of nature's most intelligent healing systems, and when used together, they amplify the body's natural ability to restore, rebalance, and renew.
