Personalized Nutrition for Every Horse

No two horses have the same nutritional needs. PurEquine offers individualized equine nutrition consulting designed to evaluate your horse’s complete diet and help ensure their vitamin, mineral, protein, energy, and other nutritional requirements are being met.

Whether you have a performance horse, growing horse, easy keeper, senior, or a horse with more complex nutritional needs, each plan is built around the individual horse.

Comprehensive Diet Evaluation

A diet can look balanced on paper and still leave important nutritional gaps. We evaluate your horse’s current feeding program as a whole, including forage, concentrates, ration balancers, supplements, and other dietary components.

Your horse’s diet is compared with established nutritional requirements, including NRC guidelines, to identify potential deficiencies, excesses, or imbalances.

What’s Included

Each nutrition consultation may include:

• Complete review of the current feeding program

• Forage and hay evaluation

• Vitamin and mineral assessment

• Protein and amino acid considerations

• Calorie and energy evaluation

• Supplement review

• Identification of unnecessary or overlapping supplements

• Personalized feed and supplement recommendations

• Feeding amounts and practical daily feeding plan

• Follow up discussion to review your horse’s plan

Performance Horse Nutrition

Nutrition plays an important role in supporting performance, recovery, muscle development, hydration, and overall health.

For performance horses, we take into consideration workload, body condition, discipline, travel, sweating, competition schedule, and individual needs when developing a feeding program.

Forage First Approach

Forage is the foundation of the equine diet. Whenever possible, we begin by evaluating your horse’s forage and build the remainder of the feeding program around it.

Hay analysis can also be incorporated when available for an even more detailed evaluation.

More Isn’t Always Better

Adding more supplements does not necessarily create a better diet. Our goal is to simplify your feeding program where possible while making sure your horse receives what they actually need.

Every recommendation is made with the complete diet in mind rather than looking at individual products in isolation.

Our Approach

PurEquine believes equine nutrition should be individualized, practical, and based on established nutritional science.

Our goal is not to promote one particular feed or supplement brand. Instead, we evaluate the whole horse and the whole diet to create a feeding program that works for both you and your horse.

When appropriate, nutrition plans can also complement recommendations from your veterinarian and other equine professionals as part of a collaborative approach to your horse’s care.
