Equine nutrition is the art of feeding your horse most appropriately to achieve optimum health. Each horse is different and therefore has distinct nutritional needs. For example, performance horses have different nutritional needs than senior horses, as do breeding stock versus metabolic horses. Each horse must be nourished & have their individual dietary needs met.

Equine Nutrition can be quite overwhelming to horse owners, as there are all sorts of myths that exist, products that are available and varied answers throughout this topic. We all want to be sure that we are feeding our horses most appropriately and in a manner that suits that specific horse best. That is where Denise comes in, she can review your current feeding program and offer guidance.

• Please print and sign the Consent Form prior to scheduling an appointment for your horse. You may then scan it & return it via email to our office, or you may return it to the practitioner on site, at your FIRST appointment.Please Note: NO services will be offered until this form is signed & collected. There are no exceptions to this policy. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
• Payment is due & will be collected at the time of service(s). A valid credit card is required to be placed on file with our office. If the credit card on file will not process, & another valid credit card is not offered within 3 days of the service date, Denise Bean, D.B.A. Exclusive Equestrian Services, LLC, reserves the right to send the debt to a collection agency, pursue legal assistance & dismiss the client from any further service.
• Just as with all of the other services offered by Denise, these consultations are thorough and complete. Denise will review your horse’s health history, bloodwork (if available) and all products you are currently offering your horse, including grain, hay & supplements.
• She will collect this data prior to the first scheduled appointment. Once she has obtained this information, as well as the amounts (in WEIGHT, not VOLUME), that your horse is being fed, she will then discuss any specific health conditions your horse may be experiencing, and evaluate the entire dietary program over the phone, or on site.
• Based on your horse’s age, weight, breed, work load, and general health, Denise will make recommendations to your current feeding program. Please note, although blood work can be helpful, it is not necessary to obtain a nutrition consultation.
• Since there is a wealth of information to review and discuss with respect to your horse’s nutrition, these consultations are structured in a multiple visit format. This allows for thorough consultation, as well as revaluation time to see how your horse is responding to suggested dietary changes.

Please note, in addition to the fee for the service provided, a "Barn Call" fee will also be charged for each appointment. Thank you.
