Holistic Nutrition Support for Horses: Whole-Foods, Herbs, and Species Appropriate Diets

At From the Ground Up Healing, we are committed to supporting equine health through a holistic approach to nutrition. Our support focuses on whole-foods, herbs, and forage-based diets to provide your horse with the most natural and effective nutrition possible. Feeding the mind, body, and soul in every bite.

Our Holistic Nutrition Philosophy

We believe that a horse’s diet should reflect its natural feeding behaviors and biological needs. We prioritize whole foods, herbal supports, and forage-focused nutrition that supports overall health, enhances performance, and promotes well-being.

Key Components of Our Holistic Nutrition Support:

• Whole-Foods Nutrition: Feeding high-quality, unprocessed foods that are rich in essential nutrients. Nuts, seeds, vegetables, and fruits are incorporated into our sessions to provide an array of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support optimal health, and double as a great way to enrich your horse’s mealtime. Mixing-in some tasty, safe whole-foods is a great way to get your horse excited about mealtime again, while providing nutritional benefit!
• Herbal Support: Our approach includes the use of muscle-tested selected herbs to support your horse’s needs, as well as referrals to experienced practitioners who focus on herbal support, and fantastic pre-made blends from some of our favorite herb providers. Herbs can do a lot of great things for the body including support digestion, boost the immune system, and address specific health concerns; offering a natural complement to a balanced diet.
• Forage-Based Diets: We emphasize the importance of a forage-rich diet, mimicking the natural grazing and foraging behavior of horses. Quality hay, pasture if available or able, clean forage pellets as the meal base, and other forage options like enrichment puzzles and free-choice items form the foundation of our ideology, ensuring that your horse receives the nutrients and variety essential for digestive health and overall vitality.
