Qualified Equine Nutrition Advice & Feeding Recommendations

Calculation of nutritionally balanced equine diets

Cover of a book titled 'Nutrient Requirements of Horses, Sixth Revised Edition' from the Animal Nutrition Series by the National Research Council.

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.

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.

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.
