🐴✨🌿 As promised in our live event yesterday, here is the equine ancestral diet - deciphered by me from some fantastic scientific studies.

🧬 As you can see, there are over 50 species of plants that make up the diet of severa herds of feral horses over a 1 year period. You can check out the published study for more details on how I did the math on this:

Sarah R.B. King, Kathryn A. Schoenecker, Comparison of Methods To Examine Diet of Feral Horses from Noninvasively Collected F***l Samples, Rangeland Ecology & Management, Volume 72, Issue 4, 2019

📊 Overall highlight: ecological diversity is the hallmark of the ancestral diet of horses.

🆓 There’s a free preview video available there too!

🚨 INSTAGRAM LIVE STREAM TONIGHT! 🎙️ AUG 26, 2025 @ 6:30pm PST / 9:30pm EST

I’m getting tons of great questions about the equine microbiome trial results so far. With our first round of testing completed (with over 100 horses so far), the reports are streaming in!

I thought the best way to address some of the FAQ’s would be to go live to have an uninterrupted flow of video to share with you.

If your horse participated in the trial and you’re able, please pop in and ask your questions!

🌱 It’s that time of year when seeds are abundant.

🪏 Did you know you can re-seed your garden next year for a very low cost if you save your seeds? I’ve been busy all year saving seeds for the future. It’s an invaluable skill and it’s easy! I’ll be posting more about this in the coming weeks.

🌼 Do you save your seeds?

🌼Think you can’t grow much in a small garden? 🌼

I have been experimenting with pot gardening this year on my porch and there is so much you can do with very little space to have food, medicine and even herbs for your horses and pets. 💗💗💗

🐴🌿 Do you wonder how we got to feeding our domestic animals out of bags and buckets?

🌼 Just like people, the key to healthy nutrition is providing a variety of fresh foods.

🏭 While industry has us convinced that domestic animals do best on processed foods, we know innately that it doesn’t make sense.

❓ But where do you start?

🐎 If you want to learn how to feed your horse a truly forage-based diet, my new species-specific equine nutrition mini course will get you started.

You’ll learn:

⭐️ The ancestral diet of horses
⭐️ Scientific reference materials
⭐️ Why so many horses are experiencing digestive disease
⭐️ How your horses’s digestive system works
⭐️ How to naturally source nutrients in fresh foods
⭐️ Practical tools for getting started
