Why does nutrition matter?
Each horse is unique, and evaluating their overall health involves considering various factors including diet, pasture, hay, and environment.
If your horse is experiencing any health or behavioural issues, we can address these; often, achieving nutritional balance resolves many issues.
This process requires patience. Any adjustments to your horse’s diet should be gradual to allow their gut microflora to adapt to new or altered feeds. Therefore, we recommend allowing at least 8 weeks before a follow-up assessment.
A comprehensive nutritional consultation is the initial step toward optimising the health and performance of your equine companion. Investing in their well-being ensures peak performance, comfort, and happiness.
-
Horses have sensitive digestive systems that require a balanced diet to prevent issues like colic, ulcers, and metabolic disorders. High-quality forage and appropriate feed ratios support healthy gut flora and digestion.
-
Nutritional adequacy directly influences a horse’s energy levels and athletic performance. Balanced diets provide the necessary fuel for endurance, strength, and agility, ensuring peak performance in various disciplines.
-
Balanced nutrition can influence a horse’s temperament and behavior. Properly nourished horses are more likely to exhibit calmness, focus, and willingness to work, while deficiencies may lead to irritability, anxiety, or lethargy.
-
Adequate nutrition supports reproductive health in breeding mares and stallions, ensuring proper development of foals and successful pregnancies.
-
Good nutrition plays a significant role in extending a horse’s lifespan and improving their overall quality of life. It helps prevent chronic conditions and ensures they maintain vitality into old age.

A comprehensive online nutrition consultation designed to give you clarity, structure, and confidence in your horse’s feeding program — without the need for a face-to-face visit. Ideal for owners who want a full nutritional breakdown, a clear feed plan, and education they can actually understand and apply. Accessible from anywhere.
Perfect when a quick review isn’t quite enough, but a full on-farm consult isn’t necessary.
So What Is An Online Equine Nutrition Analysis and Diet Program?
An in-depth, remote nutrition consultation that looks beyond the basics to assess whether your horse’s diet is truly balanced, appropriate for their workload, and supporting their overall health, behaviour, and performance.
This service bridges the gap between a simple diet check and a full on-site consult — offering detailed analysis, practical recommendations, and education to help you make informed feeding decisions with confidence.
I’ll personally analyse your horse’s current diet and provide a clear, structured report that explains what’s working, what’s missing, and what needs adjusting — and why.
What You’ll Get
✔️ A detailed review of your horse’s full diet and feeding routine
✔️ A full nutritional breakdown of the current ration
✔️ A clear, structured feed plan tailored to your horse
✔️ Identification of nutrient imbalances, deficiencies, or excesses
✔️ Practical, targeted recommendations to optimise the diet
✔️ Education to help you understand why changes are suggested
✔️ Guidance on whether further support or monitoring may be beneficial
This consultation is designed to give you clarity, direction, and understanding — not just a list of changes.
What It’s Not
This service does not include a face-to-face visit or ongoing follow-up support. While it provides a comprehensive nutritional analysis and feed plan, it may not be suitable for horses with acute or complex medical conditions that require ongoing veterinary management.
Who Is It Perfect For?
Owners who want a full nutritional breakdown of their horse’s current diet
Owners looking for a clear, structured feed plan, not just general advice
Horses not progressing as expected in weight, topline, performance, or energy levels
Horses with diet-responsive behavioural or health concerns, such as:
gastric discomfort or ulcer-prone horses
laminitis-prone or metabolically sensitive horses
insulin resistance (IR) or EMS-type horses
horses showing tension, reactivity, poor focus, or inconsistent behaviour linked to diet
Horses with changing workloads, training intensity, or competition demands
Owners who feel their current diet is “close” but not quite right and want expert guidance
Those wanting detailed analysis, targeted adjustments, and education, without the cost or logistics of an on-site consult
This is an ideal option if you want nutrition-led solutions, structure, and confidence — not guesswork.
How It Works
1️⃣ Purchase your Online Nutrition Consultation
2️⃣ You’ll receive a detailed intake form by email
3️⃣ I complete a thorough analysis of your horse’s diet and requirements
4️⃣ You receive a clear, easy-to-follow consultation summary and feed plan

If you’re ready for a deeper look at your horse’s nutrition — with clear explanations, practical guidance, and expert support — this consultation was created for you.
A quick, affordable feed review designed to give you confidence you’re feeding on the right track — without the cost or commitment of a full consult. Ideal for everyday horse owners who want expert reassurance, to avoid overspending on unnecessary feeds or supplements, and to make simple, effective tweaks that actually deliver results. Not suited to horses with complex health conditions requiring detailed analysis.
So what is a Diet Review?
It’s a quick and easy feed review designed for everyday horse owners who want reassurance, clarity, and guidance — without overcomplicating things or overspending on feeds and supplements that aren’t delivering results.
I’ll personally review your horse’s current diet and send you back a clear, easy-to-understand email summary highlighting:
any gaps or red flags
simple “quick wins”
whether you’re on track — or if a deeper dive might be worthwhile
What you’ll get
✔️ A professional review of your horse’s current diet
✔️ A clear email summary with practical, actionable feedback
✔️ Honest advice on whether a full consult is needed (or not)
✔️ Small, strategic tweaks you can make right away
✔️ $49 credit toward a full consultation if you choose to go deeper later — no double paying
A bonus for ongoing check-ins
Because feeding isn’t static and horses change with workload, seasons, training and competition schedules, I’ve made this service even easier to use long-term.
👉 After your first Diet Review, any future reviews for the same horse are just $30.
This makes it an affordable, stress-free way to do periodic diet check-ins throughout the year — without needing a full consult every time.
What it’s not
This is not a full diet formulation, and it’s not designed for horses with complex health issues that need precise analysis. There’s no detailed nutrient breakdown, supplement recommendations, or ongoing follow-ups.
It’s intentionally simple, efficient, and affordable.
Who it’s perfect for
New horse owners wanting reassurance
Owners trying a new feed or supplement
Anyone wondering if they’re feeding too much or too many things
Horses with changing workloads, training intensity, or competition schedules
Horses who just aren’t quite doing as well as expected
Owners who want to tweak diets but want expert guidance first
Many clients use Diet Reviews as a repeatable check-in — a way to stay on track as things change, without the pressure or cost of a full consult each time.
How it works
1️⃣ Purchase your Diet Review
2️⃣ You’ll receive a short intake form by email
3️⃣ I review everything within 3–5 business days
4️⃣ You receive a clear summary with guidance and next steps
5️⃣ If needed, your $49 is credited toward a full consult
If you’re after clarity, confidence, and a simple “yes, you’re on the right track” (or a gentle nudge in a better direction), this service was created for you.
