“I believe in a healthy horse from the inside out.” ~Stephanie
The site provides a centralized resource covering, basic horse care, horse health, equine nutrition and feeding, but they also focus heavily on the natural equine, covering natural horse care and non toxic natural horse care products.
The detailed information is presented in a way that is easy to understand and incredibly helpful. For example, Stephanie goes into great detail about natural hoof care:
“The horse’s hooves suffer the most when we do not treat their bodies well.”
…she points out the horses bodies are extremely efficient at prioritizing nutrient allocation, with hooves usually near the bottom of the priorities, identifying that hoof problems could potentially point to other problems in the body.
Hoof care knowledge comes from years of experience and whilst Stephanie openly shares her knowledge she also encourages you to improve your own knowledge by speaking to your hoof care professional, but if you don’t have one, don’t worry because there’s also great advice on how to choose a hoof care professional.

My wife owned horses for years but having lots of children put paid to that. This site takes me back waking up before work to tend to them and going out last thing at night to check on them. I recognise a lot of the terms used and the techniques for caring for them.
