Integrative, Holistic Equine Nutrition Coaching

Support your horse from the inside out with an integrative, whole-horse approach

Integrative, Holistic Equine Nutrition Coaching is available at Orchard Brook Farm. This personalized service is designed for equine guardians who want more than a one-size-fits-all feed plan. My work goes beyond nutrition alone to create a complete, thoughtful picture of your horse’s health so you can care for them with intention, confidence, and clarity.

Whether your equine is struggling with ulcers, anxiety, chronic illness (such as Cushing’s), respiratory concerns, poor hoof or skin health, slow recovery, fatigue, or depression, you are not alone and healing is possible. Many clients share that the first thing this work restores is hope, and from that place, meaningful change can begin. Transformation is possible at any age.

 

What You Can Expect

Each coaching experience begins with the development of a comprehensive health profile for your horse. From there, we work one-on-one to create a customized nutrition and lifestyle plan that supports whole-horse wellbeing, including:

  • Supporting digestive health

  • Identifying and addressing nutrient deficiencies and toxicities

  • Reducing inflammation

  • Strengthening immune function

  • Supporting nervous system regulation

  • Promoting long-term resilience, vitality, and balance
     

This holistic method blends science-based principles with real-world experience. Drawing upon my formal education and extensive background in the feed and supplement industry, we use food, plants, herbs, and targeted single nutrients to construct a diet that supports long-term health for horses, donkeys, ponies, minis, and mules.

You will not be left to figure things out on your own. Support and discernment are central to this work.

 

Ways to Work Together

Option 1: Integrative Equine Nutrition Coaching Package

A comprehensive starting point: This package is ideal for guardians seeking a deep, thoughtful assessment and a clear plan to support their horse’s health.

Included:

Health Profile & Review
You’ll complete a detailed questionnaire covering your horse’s history, current condition, lifestyle, and goals. I review this information in depth prior to our work together.

Optional Intake Call
You may complete the intake process together with me by phone. In my experience, this collaborative process often reveals important insights that don’t always surface on paper alone.
(Currently offered at no additional charge.)

Custom Diet & Lifestyle Plan
A fully personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan is crafted for your horse’s unique needs, sensitivities, and goals.

Plan Review Call
We walk through your plan together in a 30-minute one-on-one call, ensuring you feel confident implementing it day to day.

Initial Follow-Up Support
You’ll receive one follow-up coaching call (30 minutes) within the first 30–45 days to refine the plan, answer questions, and support early implementation.

Investment: $250
Accessibility support may be available for eligible clients (see below).

Additional follow-up sessions are available following this package.

 

Option 2: Integrative Equine Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching

Ongoing guidance for your horse’s evolving needs: This coaching model is designed for guardians who value steady, professional support over time.

Horses are dynamic beings. Their needs shift with seasons, forage changes, workload, stress, and environment. Rather than relying on one-time recommendations, this program allows us to respond together as those changes arise.
Meaningful progress often unfolds gradually. Consistent observation, small adjustments, and informed decision-making tend to create the most sustainable results.
This structured coaching container provides steady support while allowing your horse’s program to evolve naturally.

Six-Month Partnership with Ongoing Guidance

This six-month subscription is designed for guardians who want relationship-based support while navigating their horse’s nutrition and lifestyle needs. You will have consistent access to a practitioner who understands your horse’s full history and can help you make grounded adjustments as patterns emerge.

What’s Included

Comprehensive Intake & Custom Program
We begin with a deep review of your horse’s history and current symptom profile. From this, I create a fully personalized nutrition and lifestyle program.

Early Implementation Support
Approximately 30 to 45 days after intake, we meet for a follow-up session to ensure the program is landing well and to make refinements as needed.

Ongoing Monthly Coaching
You will receive one private 30-minute coaching call each month for the remainder of the six-month period (4 total)

Together we will:
• Track your horse’s response over time
• Adjust for seasonal and environmental shifts
• Refine plant, nutrient, and feeding strategies
• Support confident, informed decision-making

You are not left to navigate changes alone.

Investment: Six-Month Coaching Program
• $240 intake
• $95 per month
• Total six-month investment: $620

If you are an existing client and have already received your initial intake/program, you can add monthly coaching for just $95 per month with a 6 month minimum required.

Add Text Support
Know you're covered with day to day text support. Add text conversations to your plan for quick response support throughout the month for just $1 a day, $30/month. Please know that text support is designed to support basic care/dietary questions/feedback vs complicated nutritional concerns which require comprehensive analysis/response. Because you can count on texting support to be there for you day to day, it is billed monthly, whether it is used or not and is non refundable. 

Renewal Option

At the end of the initial six months, clients may choose to continue with ongoing monthly coaching if additional support would be beneficial. Because your horse’s full history is already established, a new intake is not required.

Continuing Monthly Support
• $95 per month ($125 with text support)
• Total six-month renewal: $570
• Total annual equivalent: $1,140 ($1,500 total with text support for 12 months)

Is This Program a Good Fit?

This program is often ideal for guardians who:
• Want steady, professional guidance
• Notice seasonal or recurring patterns
• Prefer proactive support rather than reactive decisions
• Value working with one practitioner who knows their horse well

If you are unsure whether this level of support is right for you, you are always welcome to reach out. I am happy to help you discern what best serves your horse. Many clients begin with six months and choose to continue once they experience the value of ongoing, relationship-based support.

 

Follow-Up Coaching Sessions (À La Carte)

For clients who have completed an intake and prefer occasional support, follow-up coaching sessions are available. These sessions include a brief update questionnaire and refinements to your horse’s diet and lifestyle plan.

Investment: $135 per session

 

Accessibility Support

If you are supporting a senior horse (15+), the Star Fire Sponsorship may help reduce the cost of diet and lifestyle support for eligible clients. Space is limited. Please include your interest in Star Fire support in your inquiry email.

 

Investing in Your Horse’s Whole Health

Committing to a holistic diet and lifestyle program requires an investment of time, care, and resources. However, many clients find that this work ultimately saves money by reducing unnecessary products, preventing escalation of health issues, and focusing only on what is truly supportive.

When appropriate, I provide access to trusted plants and therapeutic nutrients I use with my own horses and have seen benefit hundreds of others. Products are priced individually. My approach is always less is more - plants and nutrients are used intentionally, for specific reasons, and typically for defined periods of time, allowing the body to restore its own balance.

 

Dolly

DOLLY -

"I want to give a HUGE “thank you” to not only one of my favorite people, but to someone who has truly helped Dolly over the past 6 months with her anxiety.  She did a consultation with Dolly and I back in April regarding her extreme anxiety that caused her to exhibit multiple vices like cribbing and being incredibly tense under saddle. I know Dolly has suffered from ulcers as she was scoped twice in the last couple years, but nothing seemed to help her with them. I’ve spent thousands of dollars on omeprazole treatments, tried supplement after supplement, fed alfalfa, tried every hack anyone has ever tried to treat ulcers and nothing seemed to make a difference. Jessica came out to the farm and we laid out Dolly’s health history, what behaviors she’s exhibiting and what her lifestyle is like. She developed a Holistic feeding plan for Dolly to support her digestive health, reduce inflammation and promote her overall well-being. It was a pretty big change for Dolly and I, but we are 5 months in and all I can say is I have a changed horse! She loves her new mash feed and never leaves any in her bucket (unlike the commercial grain she used to get) and I spend way less feeding her than before. She seems so content and the change is evident in her riding. She’s such a pleasure to be around and ride now. I’m so thankful for Jessica’s guidance and absolutely recommend her if you are looking for a change in your feeding program!"

BUDDY -

I am for the first time thinking about him being pain free or greatly reduced, and not thinking about his downward spiral to being put down. I am so hopeful. Thank you for giving me that.” - Client testimonial regarding getting started with her plan to support her chronically laminitic horse.

"Buddy trotted up to me from across his field when I was coming to give him his meal. I haven't seen him trot in so long!"
