I have taken the Nutrition Advisor I course and plan to take the next course as well. Even though I already have a Masters degree in Equine Science and have been working in the industry for over 20 years, there is still so much to learn and this is such a convenient way to learn. I love the self-paced course that fits into my busy schedule! I don't believe that there is anyone else in the world with Rachel's knowledge about nutrition science, industry experience and communication skills. I would highly recommend that anyone who makes feeding decisions for horses utilizes Rachel for furthering their education!

regarding all types of horses. My show horses are successful today in part to her knowledge of brands, and the contents that are in them. We customize a feeding program to each horse, taking into consideration how much they show, train, age, and lifestyle. It is very helpful to have Rachel assisting with keeping them at their top shape, and maximizing their potential in the show ring.

and generally considered myself to be well versed in regards to feeding my horses a well planned, budget-friendly, safe and nutritious diet. That's when I met Rachel and I found out that there was a whole lot that I didn't know. Rachel helped me turn my horses into healthier horses, happier partners and better athletes. As a budget-conscious horse owner with other budget-conscious clientele, it's important to me that I have confidence in the equine professionals that I work with. I am always astounded by her joy in her work, her excitement in sharing her knowledge, and her drive to continuing to learn as much as possible. She lives in the same world that I do, where performance matters. I feel like she gets me and what I'm trying to achieve as she is herself a very accomplished rider and competitor.

I co-operate a large horse rescue and have many horses on my own property. About 5 years ago, I was looking to make a change in our feeding program…

Read More

while still providing a high quality economical product to meet the nutritional needs of my horses. After meeting with Rachel and having her evaluate our herds, we revised our feed program and saved over $18,000 in feed costs in the first year alone. We did this while still keeping our herd healthy and providing complete nutritional balance to all of our horses. Rachel has always been a phone call away with whatever we need including educating us on our horse’s nutrition. She also comes out every 6 weeks and evaluates each individual horse to make sure their feeding schedule and body condition is optimal. I have never met anyone in this industry so well informed and dedicated to keeping her customers satisfied. Our staff is annually offered feeding seminars on equine nutrition at no charge and Rachel has become a part of the barn family. I knew if I ever had a question on a horse's body condition, a simple phone call to Rachel and she would appear at one of the properties and solve our problem. The amount of knowledge that she has and has shared with us is priceless.

I happened across Dr. Rachel kind of by accident, but I'm really glad I did. I had been dealing with a mare who was suffering from fecal water syndrome…

Read More

and was at my wits end. I had tried everything out there and didn't know how else to help her as nothing was working.

Enter Dr. Rachel... she worked with me and my mare via phone and email and got her on a program to help repair her stomach and hind gut. We are back to her regular diet and she is doing really well. Manure is looking "normal" (not like cow pies) and the squirts are gone! I finally don't have to wash her legs and back end every day. I also know what to do if my mare happens to have a flare up. Great knowlege to have in my back pocket!

Thank you Dr. Rachel for helping my mare and I, we are so grateful to you!
– Audrey F.

Very pleased with my consult with Rachel! I sent her the info she requested (and some extra info lol). I had some very specific thoughts about a plan for my horses…

We scheduled a zoom meeting within a few days (she is in FL and I’m in WI). I was so happy with the time and consideration given to my request. I’m very excited to move forward with the plan she recommended. I loved that she listened and factored their histories into the plan. Highly recommend getting her involved in helping come up with the best unbiased nutrition program for your equine! Diesel, Essie, and I thank you Rachel!

I recently contacted Rachel for help with my 21 y/o gelding who has issues with chronic winter diarrhea and free fecal water. Rachel gave me a comprehensive written plan for him…

(most helpful) and I saw improvement by the end of his first week on Rachel’s plan. We are now 16 days into Rachel’s program and my horse’s hocks have been clean since day 3, and his manure now has a normal consistency.

I have tried many, many things in the past but have never gotten consistent improvement out of any of them - and never gotten to the point we are at now. Also, Rachel has simplified my feeding routine for all of my herd, and helped me figure out the best feed program for each horse. I am very excited about where we are now and I look forward to continued improvement with my gelding. It is a nice feeling to know that I am on the right track with providing each of my horses an optimized diet plan. My only regret is in not doing this sooner.
– Susan B.

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Rachel to come up with a new feeding plan for my gelding!! Luckily he is an easy keeper TB, so I don’t have a lot of weight concerns to worry about,

but I wanted to make sure he was getting all of the nutrients in the right amounts without adding unnecessary calories. Especially living in MN where the horses are unfortunately on hay for a good part of the year. Rachel didn’t just give me a feed recommendation based on what I told her I wanted to accomplish, she went the extra mile to calculate the nutrient content from different feeds and make sure it would get my gelding what he needed! She also didn’t recommend just one specific brand, she gave me some options of a feed from different brands to make sure I could find something that is carried in my area. I feel so much more confident in what I am giving my horse and think a feeding consult with Rachel would benefit every horse owner.
– Terri S.

I would like to take a moment to rave about Rachel!! I had her out to my farm for a nutritional consult last week. We all know that horse nutrition, and the zillion supplements out there, are very confusing.

Rachel had some very simple and great suggestions. She explained her reasoning for some minimal supplements in a very easy to understand fashion. I was so impressed and happy to have her here!! I'm excited to put her suggestions into practice and to seeing some nice results. My horses and I thank you Rachel.

Rachel did a 90 day plan for my new horse as soon as he arrived on farm, taking into account our long term goals and his immediate needs/changes.

She created a grain transition plan for him, and then followed up regularly to make sure it was going well. 90 days later, he’s looking great and I have a much better understanding of what and how much he should be eating (he eats a lot!). On top of the results, I love having the written plan and the 0-30-60-90 photos! Rachel has been a critical part of my horse’s care team, and she certainly will continue to be any time we’re looking at making changes to his feed!
