Optimizing Your Horse's Health, Performance, and Longevity
Your horse's health is more than what you can see on the outside. Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) offers a safe, non-invasive way to understand what's happening on a deeper level. Identifying mineral imbalances, deficiencies, and toxic metals that may be affecting their energy, temperament, performance, and overall wellness.
​
Whether you're caring for a beloved companion, a competitive athlete, or a working horse, balanced minerals are the foundation for peak health and performance.
THIS OPTION IS BEST FOR YOU IF:
-
Your horse struggles with changes in temperament, moodiness, anxiety, or spookiness.
-
They show signs of low stamina, delayed recovery, or decreased performance.
-
You’ve noticed recurring hoof, coat, or skin issues despite regular care.
-
They’ve had ongoing digestive problems, weight fluctuations, or metabolic challenges (such as insulin resistance).
-
You want a proactive way to support your horse’s long-term wellness and avoid preventable health setbacks.
Optimize Your Horse's Mind, Metabolism, Movement, and More
Your horse's behavior is biochemistry in motion. HTMA shows how minerals like magnesium, sodium, copper, zinc, and more are interacting and how the body is utilizing them for various functions (thyroid, metabolism, hormones, digestion, adrenals, etc) over the last 3-4 months. These patterns influence the nervous system (fight/flight vs calm/focus), muscle function, hooves and coat, hydration, and how your horse. handles travel, show-day, and everyday stress. With results in hand, we build a simple, custom plan for nutrition and supplementation that supports your horse's unique metabolism.
What HTMA Can Reveal
-
Nervous system: stress chemistry driving spookiness, anxiety, irritability, aggressiveness, or shutdown
-
Electrolyte balance & hydration: mineral dynamics behind stamina and recovery
-
Nutrient imbalances: symptoms that can result in tension, girthiness, reaction to the leg, muscle contraction/relaxation, soreness, immune resilience, connective tissue, coat/hoof quality, and more
-
Toxic metals: sources that hinder progress and progress symptoms (history of shows, travel, water, soils, vaccines, and more)
How It Works
-
Order your horse's minerals & manes test
-
Receive your test kit to your doorstep
-
Collect hair (mane or tail)
-
Lab review session + custom protocol: we interpret the results for easy understanding and create a custom protocol based on your horse's health history, symptoms, goals, and results. Tailored nutrition forage/feed tweaks, targeted minerals/supplementation, and simple routines.
​
Turnaround: 2-4 weeks of the lab receiving your horse's sample.
