About Me

I was hooked on horses at a young age. My first horse, Indigo, is my childhood horse and the namesake of this business.

It is a wonderful blessing to grow up with a horse. I learned from a young age how to put someone else’s needs before my own. A scientist at heart, I’ve always dedicated my time to learning everything I could about horse care. 

When Indigo developed fecal water syndrome in his 20s, I went down a rabbit hole of research into nutrition. Like many well-meaning horse owners, I didn’t realize what I had gotten myself into. There was so much conflicting information. I didn’t know what to believe! So, I put in the time to figure it out. And let me tell you, it took a lot of time.

I put in the time so you don’t have to. We all have a lot going on in our lives. Let me help you create a well balanced diet for your horse so you can focus on spending time with them!
