Learn how a DL Equine
Nutrition Programme Works
When will your horse benefit from a Personalised Nutrition Programme?
Performance & competition
Equine athletes require proper muscle development, endurance and the correct dietary fuel to perform optimally.
I will work with you to create a program for your horse that ensures the optimum energy level, ideal body condition and delivers all dietary requirements necessary to optimize performance in your discipline.
Metabolic or health issues are present that require dietary managment
EMS, PPID, RER, PSSM, insulin dysregulation, colic, laminitis, allergies, diarrhoea, developmental orthopaedic disease, etc.
Balanced nutrition is critical in these cases and I can help your horse develop a plan that allows your horse to thrive and overcome health issues. I can also work directly with your vet if necessary to develop the best plan for your horse.
Weight gain or loss issues
My programmes provide a daily caloric target specific to your horse’s unique metabolism, environment, and goal for a healthy body condition. This process requires a slow careful approach to feeding and requires several months of monitoring. There is a healthy way to gain or lose weight and I’m here to help.
significant lifestage change - growing foals, breeding, lactating, seniors
Young growing horses need a safe and steady growth curve to reach their genetic potential. The nutrition of a breeding mare is crucial for the development and performance potential of their foals, both whilst gestating and lactating as the foal grows.
Senior horses have unique needs based on dental, joint, gut and muscle changes as they age.
The nutrient demands of these different stages in life are different from that of a mature horse. I can develop a correctly balanced programme, especially for your horse.
new horse or new grazing
When a horse moves to a new owner/ rider and to a different grazing pasture the microbial environment of its gut will be affected. Specifically, your horse’s pasture species, forage, feed, companions, and environment will all be different – these changes easily contribute to gastric upset in the horse.
A careful diet transition plan to maintain a healthy gut environment and body condition and minimize gastric discomfort is the absolute best strategy for your new horse.
life happens
Competition, endurance or summer riding season is picking up and you will be on the road a lot. You are unhappy with your horse’s current condition or energy level.
Changes in hay or chaff availability mean you need to consider feed alternatives.
Your horse has been away and is now back home. Rehabbing from an injury and is on stall rest. I can formulate a unique equine nutrition programme for your horse’s individual requirements!
Nutrition Programmes based on your Unique Situation
All Programmes begin with a Comprehensive Consultation Questionnaire & Photographs covering...
Choosing the Optimal Nutrition Programme for your Horse
To choose the best programme for your horse, please select your primary focus?
Then the 3 optimised diets in the 'Nutrition on the Move' Programme will best support your horses needs.
Increased work, competition and travel all attribute to stress on a horse’s gut and body. This stress results in loose stools, weight loss, decreased energy and recovery time and increased risk of colic. Outcome = decreased performance.
For your horse to perform at its optimum the gut microbiota needs to be kept happy, healthy and in variety.
To feed your horse from the inside out is to enable your horse to achieve its ultimate health, even in circumstances such as being away from the normal pasture and environment of home.
Then the 'Vital Nutrition' Programme is the best option to target the specific needs of your horse in dealing with a health challenge. The extensive consultation progress includes details analysis of current diet, weight, forage, water analysis and so much more.
The recommendations in the over 20 page report will guide what feeds and supplements to buy and how to best utilise grazing and other forage. The detailed breakdown of mineral, vitamin and amino acid requirements will take the guesswork out of choosing the best products for your horses optimal well-being.
The 'Optimum 4 Seasons' Programme will ensure you have year round peace of mind by adjusting your nutrition to meet the changing needs of your horse. This programme includes 4 diet reviews to keep your feeding responsive to seasonal changes in grass, workload, temperature, health status, etc
With monthly check-ins you will be fully supported in optimising well-being for your horse.
