I’m always questioning how much pain Lena is really in 💔

It’s incredible how she’s recovered from her chronic skin problems — but over winter, she definitely had some joint discomfort in her left fore, likely navicular pain. Lately, she’s been a bit lame again with the hard ground, so she’s had some bute and a few warm, muscle-soothing joint baths to help her out 🛁💞

But then I look at her…
She’s glowing on just 2 dippers of chaff, 1 cup of lupins, 1 scoop of our Body Builder, and 50g of our mineral mix. 🌿

It’s so hard to make those tough decisions when they look good, feel happy, and you’re managing them the best you can 😢💔

Sending love to everyone walking this same road — it’s never easy 🫶

Another Arabian growing the most beautiful, full tail and improving his topline, gut health and temperament too 😍✨

When you meet your horse’s protein and amino acid needs, the results speak for themselves — stronger hooves, healthier hair, improved muscle tone, happier gut and calmer temperament 💪

Amino acids are the true building blocks of a healthy body — when your horse’s nutritional needs are met, they can shine from the inside out 🌿💫

✨ Fab changes in just two weeks for this beautiful lady ✨

She’s still got a journey ahead, but she’s no longer starving or forgotten about 💕
A little love, good feed, and the right support go a long way.

She’s only on half a dose of our minerals and Hindgut Builder, plus lupins and hay — and what a transformation already! 🌱

So proud of how far she’s come ❤️ and her person, for acting and getting her to a better place

❤️ Love a dog day with our doggie crew! ❤️

These guys have endless fun together — and today was no exception 🐾

🐕 We kayaked two laps around our massive dam (Lulu & Alf hitched a ride for the second lap 😂)
🐕 Jackie finally proved he can swim — and he’s actually really good at it!
🐕 Rupert, Missy, Koda & Scrappy went wild doing running laps around the dam
🐕 We played ball in the dam and paddock
🐕 Then chilled on a log for 30 minutes while the dogs just… did dog things (well, some of them did 🤣)

Days like this fill my heart 💚

✨ Fab changes in these two TB windsuckers since being on our diet and supplements 🐴🌱

Windsucking is never just a “bad habit” — it’s a whole-body health issue. These tricky, stressy horses usually have super-smart, fast brains 🧠 but a gut in turmoil. They burn through B vitamins up to 10x faster than other horses, and because they’re mentally busy, they also chew through calories quicker.

I don’t believe in collars — to me, that’s like forcing a smoker to quit cold turkey without any support in place 🚫. Instead, you can limit the behaviour by supporting the body properly:
👉 Feed what the body actually needs
👉 Top up deficiencies
👉 Help them feel safe, settled & happy

When you meet their nutritional needs, the changes speak for themselves 💚

🌿 Looking for an activated turmeric mix? With other amazing goodies🌿
There are so many turmeric products on the market — but without fat + black pepper, the powerful properties of turmeric simply can’t be absorbed or activated properly!

That’s why we created the TLC Mix 💛

✨ Check out this wonderful feedback:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I’ve had my two geldings on the TLC mix for about 2 months now. My 15yo gelding usually gets windgalls in his fetlocks after work, but over the last few weeks they’ve reduced significantly. After competing last weekend, they were barely noticeable — and the only change has been this mix! The ingredients are exceptional and Vanessa’s knowledge on equine nutrition is second to none. Can’t recommend this product highly enough!”

🙌 I currently have 4 bags available at a bargain price of $60 each (this batch went a little clumpy as I used lecithin powder instead of granules — lesson learned 😅). Same amazing quality, just not as aesthetically pretty!

💛 Be quick — once these are gone, that’s it!

$60 for 55 days supply
RRP will be $77.50

A lovely message from a client about her new horse — she’s already noticed big changes in her mane and tail in just a few weeks on our supplements and feed advice 🌱🐴

When you meet your horse’s nutritional needs, you’ll see improvements in so much more than just condition —
✨ Healthier hair & hooves
✨ Stronger muscle
✨ Softer temperament
✨ Balanced behaviour

Nutrition really does shine through on the outside 💫

The perfect supplement for all horses especially the good doers - so many horses are Lysine deficient.

Horses need at least 25 grams of lysine at rest, in work 40 grams plus 😳
🐴Lucerne hay you’d have to feed 4kg to get 28gram of lysine, the downside is you may run in to nitrate issues and gut problems.
🐴Lupins 1kg has 14 grams, a legume but it is not a green legume so doesn’t have the same nitrate issues
🐴Soy bean meal is high in lysine 28 grams per kg
🐴Copra is a protein, but it is very low in lysine and actually affects the uptake so only feed a little if you do.

Rhodes grass - minimal
Green pasture - minimal
Grain feeds - minimal

🐴Symptoms 🐴
Anxiety - Anaemia - poor hoof condition - coat condition - skin problems - muscle soreness - loss of appetite - metabolic problems - reproduction problems and hormonal issues and soo much more

High in essential amino acids - Lysine, methionine and threonine

Essential means - absolutely necessary for the body to function, the body doesn’t make these 3 you have to feed them or supplement

I have being giving away samples of supplements and gut food on my body work travels 😍

250 gram samples of protein powders
7 x 100 gram portions of gut food

I aim to make affordable and effective supplements that feed and nourish the body ❤️

I have had amazing success watching my own horses thrive on our research, creativity and hard work

The best thing is our health is better than ever, our dogs are super healthy and horses too ❤️
What we feed our gut this feeds our brain, muscles, joints and overall health

We were all happy to see the rain stop today 😊
Feed buckets were full again this am 😳 soo much rain ☔️

🐴All our horses faired pretty well, they are warm, happy, good appetites, hydrated and not too tired.
🐴Costs all soft and fluffy, all the natural oils are gone you’ve all had a really good bath 10 x over 😂
🐴Ones who came through the best had no access to grass, 7kg of grassy hay, 2kg of lucerne and balanced hard feed with fibre, protein, fat and tiny bit of starch. No rugs and in a small paddock. No filling in legs, and never showed signd of being cold.
🐴Stocking up in legs and shivering is nutrition related, they are burning too many calories and b vitamins in stress to what they are consuming.
🐴Grass is great, but its wet and not nutrient dense and warming especially in that kinda weather
🐴Rainscald i havent had that in years, i believe it is purely gut/ nutrient related.

Recovery

🐴Nutrition - they are fatigued, stressed out. Meaning b vitamins are depleted (b1 especially), the gut is stressed, they have being in survival mode. Keep up the right feed and vitamins minerals, gut support.
🐴Sunshine
🐴Warm magnesium bath in sunshine
🐴Heat massage - ill be pulling out redlight and a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel and giving them lotsa love
🐴Monitor their hydration
🐴Check their feet
🐴Groundwork check in with how they are feeling before jumping back in saddle, they may need a bodywork session before to help relax and get them to a happy place ❤️

Praying for some ☀️
