Nutritional Support

Every horse deserves a strong foundation.

Nutrition influences far more than body condition.

It supports movement, recovery, immune function, digestion, and the body's ability to adapt.

Whether you're simply looking for guidance building a healthier nutritional foundation or you're ready to explore your horse's physiology through Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, my goal is the same:

To help you understand how nutrition can better support the horse in front of you.

Two Ways We Can Work Together  

Nutrition Consultation: A practical starting point for owners who want clarity and confidence in their horse's nutrition.  

Perfect for owners who want guidance improving their horse's nutritional foundation. Whether you're transitioning to an anti-inflammatory forage diet, simplifying your feeding program, or looking for practical recommendations, this consultation focuses on creating a balanced nutritional plan that supports your horse's overall health and long-term wellness. Topics may include:

  • forage-based nutrition

  • anti-inflammatory feeding

  • salt

  • feeding management

  • digestive support

  • supplement evaluation

  • practical recommendations

A Nutrition Consultation is a great place to start if you:

  • Want to transition your horse to a more anti-inflammatory forage diet.

  • Feel overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice and aren't sure where to begin.

  • Are new to equine nutrition and want practical guidance before diving into more advanced testing.

  • Want an objective review of your horse's current diet and feeding program.

  • Want to simplify your feeding program while supporting your horse's long-term health.

  • Aren't sure if an HTMA is the right next step for your horse.

Sometimes a thoughtful review of your horse's diet is all that's needed to create a clearer path forward.

Other times, it raises deeper questions about how your horse is adapting physiologically.

If that's the case, a Nutrition Consultation can naturally lead into a more individualized Nutrition Consultation + HTMA.

Nutrition Consultation + HTMA: A deeper look at how your horse has been adapting physiologically.

This option may be a good fit if you:

  • Want a more individualized nutritional strategy based on your horse's unique physiology.

  • Have addressed the basics but still feel like something is missing.

  • Are trying to better understand recurring patterns rather than simply managing symptoms.

  • Have a horse with a history of chronic stress, digestive concerns, allergies, or recurring health challenges.

  • Want insight into how your horse may be adapting to training, management, or environmental stressors.

  • Value a deeper understanding of your horse's physiology to help guide long-term decisions.

  • Are looking for another piece of the puzzle to support movement, recovery, performance, and overall well-being. 

Nutrition Is More Than What's in the Feed Tub

Nutrition supports far more than body condition. It supports the horse from the inside out. 

When nutrition questions go beyond what to feed and become why is my horse responding this way?, HTMA can provide another layer of insight. Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis provides another layer of information that helps us evaluate mineral relationships, stress physiology, recovery patterns, and nutritional priorities. Combined with a comprehensive review of your horse's history, diet, and management, it allows us to create a highly individualized plan based on the horse in front of us.

My Philosophy

The body is constantly adapting to the resources available to it.

My goal isn't simply to identify nutrient deficiencies.

It's to better understand how your horse is adapting and whether they have the physiological resources needed to move, recover, learn, and thrive.

Every recommendation is made within the context of the whole horse—including movement, posture, management, training, and environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis is one tool that helps us identify long-term physiological patterns by evaluating mineral relationships within the hair.

    Rather than diagnosing disease, it provides additional information that can help us understand how the body has been adapting over time.

  • No.

    HTMA is not a diagnostic test and should never replace veterinary care.

    Instead, it is used alongside your horse's history, movement, diet, and veterinary information to provide additional insight into physiological patterns.

  • Not necessarily.

    One of my goals is to simplify nutrition whenever possible.

    Recommendations are based on your individual horse's needs rather than adding products for the sake of adding products.

  • Nutrition supports every other aspect of the work I do.

    Healthy movement requires healthy tissue.

    Learning requires energy.

    Recovery requires adequate physiological resources.

    Nutrition isn't separate from training or rehabilitation.

    It's one of the foundations that allows both to succeed.

Ready to Support Your Horse From the Inside Out?

The body is remarkably adaptable.

When we provide the right resources, we create the conditions that allow horses to recover more effectively, move more comfortably, and meet the demands of training and everyday life.

Let's build that foundation together.
