The seasons change, new horses move in next door, you start competing (or you stop), you join a trail riding group…. and suddenly your horse is just not thriving as it usually does. Or maybe your horse has a long-standing difficulty: chronic joint issues, recurrent back pain, difficulty taking the right lead.

Ferronato offers knowledgeable support in designing the herbal supplements and feeding program that best supports your horse’s special situation, its activity level, unique breed constraints, and stage in life.

Sometimes what is needed is more than a question of choosing the right hay, and that’s where Ferronato’s years of studying the science of herbology become so helpful. She can recommend pre-mixed supplements from Mountain Rose Herbs and other great companies, as well as teaching you how to make your own herbal remedies. Ferronato will work skillfully to find the best way to help you support your horse’s needs.

Knowing the qualities and sources for great local hay, timothy, orchard grass, teff, alfalfa she can help you not only choose the right combination of hays for your horse’s situation but also combine mashes from good source companies to boost nutrition where it’s required.
