Healthy Horses
are Happy Horses!
We understand that feeding your horse isn’t simple.
There are literally THOUSANDS of horse feed products available to you. And, if we are honest, with the advent of social media, at least 1000 times more opinions on the best way to feed your horse. The overwhelming choice and the well meaning but often misguided advice can turn what should be simple, into a sleep-depriving source of worry as you wrestle with the question ‘what should I be feeding my horse’!
MyHappy.Horse allows you to gain clarity and confidence in your feeding choices. With the app, simply enter your horse’s details, and then, customize a diet tailored to their needs. Protect your horse from poor nutrition and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing you're doing what's best for them.
Say goodbye to feeding confusion
-
How? By combining practical, on-the-ground horse care experience with credible peer-reviewed equine nutrition science and smart technology to simplify creating the perfect horse feeding plan for your individual horse.
MyHappy.Horse gets to really know your horse through its comprehensive equine nutrition assessment. We analyze the basics like weight, height, body condition score, age, and metabolic tendencies for horse weight management, plus behavioral quirks, horse feed allergies, medical conditions, and dietary preferences to create truly personalized horse nutrition plans.
And MyHappy.Horse gets to know you as the horse owner. What your goals are for your horse's health and performance, preferred horse feed types and ingredients, whether you want calm horse feeding or more energetic nutrition, your budget, and any specific equine health issues you want addressed.
Then we assess your horse's pasture and forage management. Available pasture, seasonal variations, grazing conditions, and whether you're dealing with overgrazed horse pasture. From this data, we calculate precise horse hay and pasture intake and nutritional value.
We also evaluate feeding preferences, horse dietary restrictions, complete feeds versus horse supplements, and your preferred feeding management style.
Using all this comprehensive data, MyHappy.Horse guides you to create a customized horse diet that meets your horse's exact equine vitamin and mineral requirements, balances horse energy and protein needs, and optimizes horse gut health through proper forage-to-concentrate ratios. Our virtual equine nutritionist handles the complex calculations while you maintain control over tweaking and adjustments.
Your horse deserves the best equine nutrition, and now you can provide it with science-based horse feeding plans created by your very own PhD-level horse nutrition specialist.
Healthy horses are happy horses, and your horse's happiness is our top priority… ready to get started?

Helping equines around the world
“There are an estimated 112 million Equidae (horses, donkeys, mules) in the developing world, providing essential resources for their owners' livelihoods and well-being. The impoverished situation of their owners and the often harsh conditions in which they work mean that the animals' welfare is a cause for concern.”
- Upjohn et al 2014
By simply helping your horse, you are helping to make the lives of working equines around the world healthier and happier! A portion of all MyHappy.Horse income is donated to equine welfare organisations, who use these funds to carry out welfare and education programs in developing countries.
