Are you looking for thoughtful, science-based support to improve your horse’s health while simplifying their feeding program and making better use of your budget? At The Sound Horse, I provide individualized equine nutrition services designed to identify nutritional gaps, eliminate unnecessary overlap, reduce waste, and create practical feeding programs that support long-term health and performance.

​

With well over 4,000 hours of equine-focused education and more than 20 years in the equine industry, I bring both academic knowledge and extensive hands-on experience to every nutrition program. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Equine Studies (Equine Health and Wellness concentration) from Post University and have worked with horses across many disciplines and stages of life, from performance horses to horses returning to work or simply needing better nutritional support, specializing in harder keepers (TBs).  My background in exercise, conditioning, and equine health also allows me to consider how workload, fitness, body condition, and management influence a horse’s nutritional needs.

​

I am continuing to advance my education through a Masters in Nutrition, with a strong concentration in nutrition biochemistry, pregnancy/ lacation, and  sport performace. My approach is rooted in understanding not simply what a product contains, but whether the horse actually needs it, whether it is being fed at an appropriate amount, and how it works within the rest of the diet.

​

One of the most common issues I see is an unnecessarily complicated feeding program. Multiple supplements may contain many of the same nutrients, products may be fed at amounts too low to provide their intended benefit, and additional concentrates are often added when the better solution may be to reevaluate the entire ration. The result can be a higher feed bill without a healthier horse.

​

My goal is to simplify that.

​

I look at the horse’s nutrition program as a whole, including forage, concentrates, supplements, workload, body condition, health history, management, and your goals and budget. From there, I focus on identifying what the horse actually needs, removing what does not provide meaningful value, and creating a simpler, more targeted feeding program.

​

Better nutrition does not always mean more supplements. Often, less is more when the correct products are used in the correct amounts for the correct horse.

​

Whether your goal is improving overall health, supporting performance, addressing a nutritional concern, reducing unnecessary feed costs, or simply gaining a better understanding of what your horse truly needs, my goal is to help you create a healthier horse and a more efficient feeding program.
