Alternate Touch Equine Supplement Specialists is a company dedicated to maximizing the health and well being of our horses. Our knowledge of both scientific research and natural therapies allowed us to create a range of supplements to support healthy joint/muscle function (Equine Recovery Bars), support healthy digestion (Equine Digestion Bars and Equine Pre-Work Bars), support healthy neurological function (Help my Horse Calming Bars), support a healthy urinary tract (Equine UT bars) and support healthy metabolism (Equine Met-Aid Bars). Our supplement bars are often best combined with some of our powdered supplements (Magnesium Magic, Digestive Support Elixir or BJT Copper/Zinc Mix) or topical products, to provide a truly holistic approach to optimise and maintain the well-being of your horse. We are committed to helping you to find the best combination of products to help to support your horse in every way. If you feel you need advice or direction, Dr Penny Hawken is always happy to chat, to help tailor make the right preventative management plan for your horse. Get started by taking our supplement quiz to see which combination of products might be right for your horse - https://bit.ly/3pqIy8y

The popularity of the combination of anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant ingredients in our Equine Recovery Bars, led us to expand this particular product to dogs (Canine Miracle Bars), to support healthy joint/muscle function, healthy skin and/or recovery from injury in dogs.

There was no horse who taught me more than Midnight.

He taught me how to ride a real horse.
He taught me to think outside the box.
He taught me that behaviour is communication.
He taught me how to listen.
He taught me how to find harmony instead of control.

I was so incredibly lucky to have him in my life 🤍

So you know you need to support your horse’s gut…
but how do you know which supplement is actually right? 🤔

It starts with asking one key question:
What do you want the supplement to DO?

Horses produce stomach acid 24/7 — perfect for constant grazing,
but not so ideal when we’re riding, competing, stabled, travelling, or managing stress.

Add modern feeding practices, housing, breed differences, and individual temperament, and suddenly many horses are facing a perfect storm for gut issues, including stomach ulcers 😳

Buffering stomach acid helps —
but for many horses, it’s not enough.

That’s why our Equine Digestion Plus Bars are formulated to do more than just buffer acid ❤️
They contain ingredients selected to:
✔️ Support and protect the stomach lining
✔️ Promote healing
✔️ Encourage good gut bacteria
✔️ Reduce harmful bacteria
✔️ Reduce inflammation
✔️ Support the hindgut

✨ More than just another digestive supplement.

When I was pregnant with Michael, I stripped back the horses diets to what I deemed the 'bare essentials', so hay, small hard feed and mineral lick in the paddock.

Well, the biggest change that I noticed was the removal of this magical product from their diet. Without our Magnesium Magic, when I took one of them out to go to the vet (yes calamity midnight struck again...) they were CRAZY 😂 To the point where I didn't feel safe (especially being pregnant..) as they were so intent on getting back to each other 😳

After that experience, I decided that our Magnesium Magic was very much a 'bare essential' for them and is always a staple part of their diet! Both for their peace and mind, as well as mine 🤪

When I think of endurance riding, I picture horse and rider moving together across the horizon — balanced, steady, and in tune.

A true partnership built on trust, fitness, and care.

That’s why this statistic stopped me in my tracks 👇

Over 90% of high-level endurance horses (90–160km) have been found to have gastric ulcers — a rate comparable to racehorses.

Endurance riders are deeply committed to their horses’ wellbeing… so why is ulcer risk still so high in this discipline?

👉 In our Science & Solutions blog, we unpack why this happens and what endurance riders should be aware of. Drop your favourite emoji below if you'd like to hear more 👇

Our Equine Digestion Bars are one of our best selling products for one very good reason… they work 🤷‍♀️

So much more than a digestive supplement, our customers report improvements in their horses coat, attitude, calmness, condition… even their feet!

Amazing what difference a healthy gut can make ❤️

Did you know cabbage can be purple as well as the more traditional green?
And that chia can be white as well as the more common black?

Our supplements are all handmade here in Western Australia, so don’t be alarmed if the you love look a little different at certain times of the year…

We can’t discriminate now, can we? 😉

✨ FYI: both types of both ingredients work equally well 👍

Our story

What is Alternate Touch? Alternate Touch is a company dedicated to maximizing the health and well being of animals. Our knowledge of both scientific research and alternative therapies allowed us to create a range of products to support healthy joint/muscle function (Equine Recovery Bars), support healthy digestion (Equine Digestion Bars) and support a healthy urinary tract (Equine UT bars). Our supplement bars can be also combined with a body work session, or our oral or topical products, providing a truly holistic approach to optimise and maintain the well-being of your horse. What do we do? Our approach to treating horses is to look at every aspect of the animal, including their nutrition, emotional status, physical and mental history, digestive function as well as any issues in the musculoskeletal system. This holistic approach allows Dr Hawken to assess the animal as a whole and create a program that has long lasting positive effects on the health and well-being of the animal. We offer both in person and online/telephone consultations, or you can simply order our products through our online shop . Though most of our products are targeted at the equine market, we also created a canine version of our Equine Recovery Bars, due to popular demand from our customers to support healthy joint/muscle function in their dogs (Canine Miracle Bars). Check out our range of animal supplement bars, topical and oral products, or contact us to create a tailor made program to help your animals to have a long and fulfilling life.
