Specialty Nutrition
Long-term plans designed for horses with complex, sensitive, or disease-driven nutritional needs. Whether managing metabolic disorders, allergies, digestive challenges, laminitis risk, genetic disease, or other advanced conditions, each program provides individualized diet development, ongoing monitoring, and clear communication with trainers, owners, and facility managers. Available as 6 or 12 month partnerships to support steady, meaningful progress.
Metabolic Disorder Management
Serves up to 5 horses at a time

Nutritional support for horses diagnosed with EMS, PSSM1/2, Insulin Dysregulation/Resistance, PPID, or Laminitis. Each program prioritizes stringent NSC management, targeted calorie control, and forage selection based on carbohydrate assays rather than generalized averages. Diet architecture accounts for diurnal insulin dynamics, seasonal pasture fluctuations, and individual thresholds for safe sugar and starch intake, all while maintaining high-quality feedstuffs and nutrition.
Regular evaluations guide adjustments to energy density, protein quality, and mineral balance to improve endocrine stability and maintain safe body condition. Coordination with veterinary diagnostic trends ensures that feeding strategies remain aligned with ongoing medical oversight.
Starvation Recovery
Serves up to 10 horses at a time

Comprehensive nutrition management for horses recovering from malnutrition, chronic underfeeding, or prolonged periods of inadequate intake. Refeeding safety, gradual nutrient reintroduction, and stabilization of metabolic and organ function during the highly sensitive early stages of recovery is top priority. Diet progression follows evidence-based refeeding protocols to reduce the risk of electrolyte imbalance, organ stress, and refeeding syndrome.
Forage selection, meal structure, and nutrient density evolve as the horse regains gastrointestinal resilience, metabolic stability, and safe body condition. Amino acid balancing, controlled energy increases, and mineral calibration support muscle rebuilding, immune function, and tissue repair without overwhelming compromised systems. Evaluations reflect changes in body condition trends, immune function, and behavioral indicators, allowing precise, steady advancement through the recovery process.
Allergy & Sensitivity Focus
Serves up to 8 horses at a time

Support for horses demonstrating feed ingredient allergies, intolerances, or environmentally influenced sensitivities. Programs emphasize precision ingredient selection using verified, single-source feedstuffs and elimination-based strategies to identify and remove reactive components. Forage recommendations are tailored to dust sensitivity, mold susceptibility, and airway health concerns, supported by hay testing and storage-management guidance.feed ingredient allergies, intolerances, or environmentally influenced sensitivities. Programs emphasize precision ingredient selection using verified, single-source feedstuffs and elimination-based strategies to identify and remove reactive components. Forage recommendations are tailored to dust sensitivity, mold susceptibility, and airway health concerns, supported by hay testing and storage-management guidance.
Diet development incorporates inflammatory load reduction through optimized omega-3:omega-6 ratios, controlled protein sources, and minimized exposure to common triggers. Continuous refinement ensures stability for horses with histories of pruritus, respiratory irritation, chronic skin conditions, or unpredictable dietary reactions.
Chronic Disease Support
Serves up to 5 horses at a time

Comprehensive nutrition for horses managing ulcers, chronic digestive instability, immune compromise, recurrent colic patterns, or long-term muscle and weight challenges. Programs emphasize controlled meal sizing, forage-first strategies, hindgut-supportive fiber sources, and balanced fermentable substrates designed to support microbial resilience.
Nutrient timing, electrolyte management, and buffering strategies are adjusted based on workload, stress level, and gastrointestinal sensitivity. Mineral and amino acid profiles are calibrated to support tissue repair, immune function, and metabolic efficiency. Coordination with veterinarians ensures nutritional recommendations complement ongoing diagnostics, medication protocols, and long-term care objectives.
Genetic Condition Management
Serves up to 3 horses at a time

Nutrition management tailored to horses diagnosed with PSSM1, MFM-type presentations, HYPP, MYHM, RER, and other inherited disorders involving metabolism, energy regulation, or ion-channel function. Each program emphasizes precise macronutrient balancing, controlled NSC exposure, and ingredient screening to support stable metabolic and muscular function.
Diet formulation incorporates targeted fat inclusion, consistent digestible energy sources, and amino acid profiles structured to promote muscular resilience and reduce episode frequency. For ion-channel disorders such as HYPP, potassium intake is managed through carefully selected forages and concentrate components with verified mineral content. For PSSM and MFM related conditions, programs focus on oxidative support, mitochondrial efficiency, and predictable energy distribution across the day.
Refinement periods reflect workload changes, seasonal variation, diagnostic trends, and veterinary recommendations. The overarching goal is improved reliability, reduced volatility, and safe, sustainable performance under realistic training conditions.
Recovery Nutrition
Serves up to 6 horses at a time

Nutrition oversight for horses undergoing stall rest, post-surgical recovery, post-colic stabilization, injury rehabilitation, or stress-related setbacks. Programs emphasize controlled energy intake, gradual nutrient reintroduction, and digestive-support strategies that reduce the risk of secondary complications during limited mobility.
Feeding systems account for medication interactions, shifting metabolic needs, and changes in inflammatory burden. Adjustments reflect evolving veterinary recommendations, tissue-healing demands, and behavioral stress indicators. Pasture access, forage quality, and meal structure are carefully managed to promote safe recovery and a smooth transition back to regular activity.
