Empowering horse owners through research-based equine nutrition.
My Services
Nutrition consultations available virtually, or on-farm throughout the front range of Colorado.
I help dedicated, compassionate equestrians achieve their horse’s maximum genetic potential through optimal, balanced nutrition in a whole-horse approach. We do not only consider what an ideal science-based diet looks like on paper, but also listen to what the horse in front of us is communicating through their outward appearance and demeanor. I will check for balance in the nutritional components of your horse’s diet, eliminate redundant supplements, and brainstorm solutions to support your goals.

“I really appreciate the time and thought you have put into her case!
I don’t trust many people when it comes to Elsa’s care, especially when it comes to making changes, but you are one of the few people I do and I am so grateful to you for that. Thank you for answering my many questions yesterday and helping to put my mind at ease!”
