As a qualified horse nutritionist, I will put your horse on the path to optimum health with an individual preventative nutrition feeding programme.

I know that "feeding your horse from the inside out" with balanced nutrition will resolve problems like poor performance, skin reactions, bad hooves, scours and gut problems, laminitis.

I firmly believe it takes a team and many of my services come with continued support & guidance.
As your nutritionist I am in this for the long haul, I wont love you and leave you, I’m here to support you as a client!

Dale has been a god send

I was devastated seeing my wee pony go from cruisey and carrying my daughter around at a show to a anxious mess within a week. He progressively got worse and I couldn’t figure out what it was… Until we realized it was an imbalance in his nutrition and contacted Dale Logan from DL Equine who has been a god send in getting him happy again and making sure he is getting the right feed and supplements to support him.

I’ve loved how thorough she is in creating a plan specific to him and regularly following up to see how we are going.

I’m over the moon to be back on track again with a happy horse and knowing I’m not wasting my money on all the wrong things with no improvements.

Nutrition-driven gut health for the win over mud fever!

Katya battled for 5years to heal her horse's painful, mudfever.

I created a multi-level plan of attack for Money that included a targeted hind gut health programme designed to aid her gut microbiome, to increase her overall immunity and health.

In Katya’s words…“Her legs are healing.. no new lesions have broken out on the healed patches and the hair is growing back - literally unheard of. Usually when she heals she breaks out in a lesion on the same spot days/weeks later and the skin remains really fragile.

But it’s actually looking healthy!! And she’s way way less sore too, which makes me so happy I could cry. It’s awful when she’s in pain - especially because I still have to treat it topically so I feel awful because she’s so so forgiving…

I was having to periodically dose with Metacam on her worse days and she was on willow bark daily too. Now she isn’t on any of that and still way more comfortable even than when she was on painkillers!’

And its the middle of winter!

The pictures speak for themselves. Long may improvement continue!

Life saving laminitis prevention!

After suffering the loss of a previous horse from laminitis Kathryn we determined not to lose her beloved Gypsy Cobs to the same fate!

Kathryn got in touch to request a personalised diet.

“I was so impressed” Kathryn said, “right away I had a comprehensive 6 page form to fill in, and just two days later Dale called to consult, and I had the personalised diet very quickly.
Kathryn is delighted with the effect of a personalised diet ...
“Dale Logan saved my horse’s life. Within a month Finn lost his crest and fat pads he went from obese to a BCS 6.5.  ...and looked so healthy and trim going into spring, ,meaning he was much safer from the chance of laminitis caused by the NSCs in spring grass.”

“I love how he looks, he is supple and so much healthier! His coat is shiny and softer to touch, and his brittle hooves have improved greatly. After just 4 weeks on his personalised diet, my farrier asked what had changed as his hooves looked so much better! The relief of having both boys on personalised diets and maintaining excellent health and condition is huge.”
Kathryn said her jaw dropped when she worked out how much she was saving on feed and supplements for her two horses - $85 a fortnight!

Underweight to looking & feeling good in 6 months

A couple of months after getting Marty, I came across Dale & her nutrition services.  Marty is my first horse, OTTSB and I was getting very confused/ overwhelmed by the amount of feeding choices/options. 

And whilst everyone around had an opinion on what was best, I was just keen to get it right as he was v underweight.  I didn’t want a quick fix but a plan that I knew was right for him, for his level of exercises etc. 

Being remote from Dale wasn’t an issue (she has a v lengthy questionnaire & you need to take various pictures, so she can assess).

 What I like about Marty’s diet is that it’s SIMPLE.

It’s v important when you are in an agistment & rely on others to feed part of the time. 

6 months later; I knew Marty was looking good because everywhere we go I get asked “what do you feed him?”, but it’s not until I went back to old photos that I thought WOW, we are doing awesome!. 

I think a lot of people assume it’s easy to feed a horse.  Yes it is; but if you are interested in feeding him/her/them the right nutrition, getting Dale to work out a tailored nutrition plan is beyond worth it.

 I think the photos speak for themselves.

Thanks again Dale.

Significant Difference in condition & hoof health

I started my two horses Ruby (station bred xTb ) & Quiver (Tb) on Dale’s recommended diet 5 months ago & have noticed a significant difference in their overall condition & improvement in their hoof health, Quiver had very fragile hooves but they have become significantly stronger over the past 5 months.

Quiver is difficult to keep weight on but with this diet I have managed to keep her at a steady healthy weight. I have also been using Dale’s herbal prescriptions for pain management when Ruby tore a piece of muscle from her cheek bone, foot access pain in Quiver, & helping with behavior modification as Quiver suffers from separation anxiety.

I would highly recommended using Dale’s expertise in equine dietary needs & herbal health.

Brighter, happier and moving more freely with arthritis

I own an ex endurance Arab who has also been a broodmare and is now retired at the age of 22. The feed that DL Equine has recommended is balanced good feed and nutrition providing help with arthritis and general overall health improvement.

Since Jasmine has been on the feed recommendation and arthritis herbal mixture she has gone from being a sour mare who I had to catch to apply the syringe of herbal mixture (she hates anything being syringed in her mouth and worming was a nightmare), to actually opening her mouth and grabbing for the syringe without having to catch her at all.

She appears brighter and happier all round and is moving quite freely despite her age.

I highly recommend anybody who is wanting to get the best out of their equine friend to try the products and recommendations of feed by Dale.

Skin allergies resolved 

My horse was starting with hive like bumps then extending into huge welts. The skin then changed and started to show signs typical to that of bacterial rain scald causing scabs.

Later the coat was dull scurfy and brittle with patches of no hair growth.

He was going through a major itching issue during this period. Literally at my wits end checking feed, grasses, hay, tree pollen, etc. I tried everything, to the extent my vets were ready to get him on a trial with a Skin Specialist from the USA visiting here in New Zealand.

Speaking with Dale and after going through a detailed assessment she came up with a special feed program and an individual prescription of liquid herbs.

Dale was professional and support and supportive throughout. His coat has come back with coverage, depth of colour, healthy shine and most important the itching has stopped.

Many thanks to Dale for introducing me to Equine Herbal Medicine.
