EQUINE NUTRITON CONSULTING
Customized nutrition for every horse.
I design customized feeding plans for individual horses as well as entire stables, taking into
account their age, breed, purpose, health status, and current condition.
When developing a nutritional program, I base my recommendations on a detailed analysis of the
horse and its living conditions. I take into account the type of housing, access to paddocks and
pastures, climatic conditions, exercise levels, and the feed available in the local area.
The result is an optimized feed ration that respects the horse’s individual needs and ensures an adequate intake of energy, nutrients, minerals, and
vitamins for health, performance, and long-term fitness.

Long-term monitoring of results
I provide expert consulting services to professional trainers, riders, owners, and breeders,
focusing on optimizing the nutrition and performance of race and sport horses.
For each horse, I create a customized feeding plan using feeds and supplements from renowned
global manufacturers. The feeding program is designed with consideration for the horse’s current
condition, type and intensity of exercise, stabling environment, and any health limitations. The
goal is to ensure an optimal supply of nutrients for maximum performance, effective recovery, and
long-term health.

B. BREEDING Horses
Nutritional Consulting for Stallions, Mares, and Foals
Proper nutrition during reproduction, pregnancy, lactation, and growth significantly influences a
horse’s health, development, and future potential. That is why I develop individualized feeding
programs tailored to the horse’s age, breed, physiological condition, housing arrangements, and
breeding conditions.
• Development of feeding plans forbreeding stallions during the breeding season
• Nutritional programs for mares during the pre-breeding period
• Feeding rations for all stages of pregnancy
• Nutrition for mares during lactation until foal weaning
• Individual feeding programs for growing foals and young horses

Investing in proper nutrition during the growth period is generally significantly lower than the costs associated with addressing health, developmental, or performance issues later in life.
,,
When formulating feed rations, I evaluate not only energy and protein content, but also the ratios of minerals, trace elements, and other nutrients that influence a horse’s growth, development, and long-term health.

Nutrition for growing foals and young horses. The growth period is one of the most important stages in a horse’s life. I therefore tailor feeding plans individually for foals from weaning until approximately three years of age, taking into account the breed, growth rate, skeletal development, musculature, and the horse’s expected future use.
The goal is to support harmonious growth, proper development of the musculoskeletal system, and to lay the foundation for a healthy and high-performing horse in adulthood.

C. Therapeutic Diets and Specialized Nutrition for Horses
Customized Nutrition Programs for Horses with Health Issues
A properly formulated feed ration can significantly support a horse’s health, reduce stress on the
body, and contribute to an improved quality of life. For horses with health limitations, I therefore
design individualized nutritional programs based on their current health status, condition, and
specific needs.
Areas of Specialization
When designing therapeutic diets, I select feeds and supplements that adhere to the dietary
restrictions imposed by a specific condition while providing the body with all necessary nutrients. A properly tailored diet can help reduce metabolic stress, support tissue regeneration, stabilize the horse’s health, and improve its overall condition and well-being.
Each therapeutic diet is tailored individually, taking into account the diagnosis, laboratory results, current medication, age, activity level, and overall health of the animal.
