Nutritional Therapy - Nutritional Consultation

Nutritional therapy for horses is an, individualized approach to diet formulation and supplementation, designed to optimize physiological functions and address specific medical or metabolic conditions. The primary objectives are to support the equine digestive system, modulate immune response, and tailor energy, protein, and micronutrient intake in alignment with the horse’s unique requirements.

Personalized Nutritional Profiling

• Nutritional therapy begins with a comprehensive assessment of the horse’s physiological status, performance requirements, age, and breed-specific nutritional predispositions. Advanced profiling includes metabolic health assessments, and may include analysis of vitamin and mineral levels through bloodwork, establishing a baseline for tailored diet planning.

Forage Optimization

• Testing and balancing to available forage is key in creating a diet that works to optimize each horse.  We offer hay testing, evaluations of test results and concurrent balancing.

Targeted Supplementation

• By understanding the horses specific needs, any limitations in forage value, energy requirements, and activity levels, we can advise on the necessity to supplement the base diet in any way.  Through careful evaluations, we ensure that minimal overlap, and economical optoins to suit any owners needs.

Routine Monitoring and Adjustments

• Diets need re evaluated as seasons change, medical conditions change, growth stages and levels of performance change.  Periodic evaluations and adjustments are paramount in ensuring diets work for each individual horse.
