“Rachael quickly became an extremely important part of my horses’ care. Horse nutrition has always been an area in which I’m not confident. Rachael’s evaluation of my horse's diet, including hay testing, was so thorough! And her recommendations have both my horses looking fantastic! Bonus is that I rest so much easier knowing their diet is on point.”

"We operate a horse boarding facility which specializes in senior horse care. Rachael has really helped us to dial in some nutritional and exercise management changes that have really made a difference. She has tested our hay, reviewed our feeding regimen, and offered realistic expectations that work with our available time and budget. She coordinated with our vet on our specific EMS case to review blood work and now continues to monitor her body condition score overall regularly. She’s also very easy to work with and very communicative.”
