Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis for Horses
See what your horse's minerals have actually been doing, so you can build a feeding and supplement plan around your horse instead of a bag label.
Stop guessing. Start knowing.
Maybe this sounds like your horse
- •The supplement shelf keeps growing, and you're honestly not sure which scoops are doing anything.
- •The coat is dull, the topline won't build, or the hooves keep cracking no matter what you feed.
- •Sharp and willing one week, flat or spooky the next, and you can't pin down why.
- •Bloodwork came back "fine," but you know your horse isn't quite right.
- •You've switched feeds, added a ration balancer, tried what everyone at the barn swears by. Still chasing it.
You're not doing it wrong. You've just been working without the one piece nobody tested for.
What is hair tissue mineral analysis?
It starts with a small hair sample from your horse's mane or tail. That sample gets analyzed for how minerals have been depositing in the tissue over time, roughly the last few months.
I look at the patterns and the ratios, because minerals don't work in isolation. Too much of one can hold another down. Then I lay it all out for you in language you can understand.
Fewer buckets. More strategy.
The equine supplement world is built to sell you the next scoop. Another bag, another additive, another thing someone swore by. The bucket fills up. The horse doesn't change.
Minerals sit underneath coat, hoof, energy, recovery, attitude, and how a horse holds up under work. When they're off, the signals show up everywhere, and nothing you add seems to land.
Start from your horse's actual patterns and you stop stacking. You target. The right support, built forage-first, with nothing your horse doesn't need.
How it works
Step One
Investigate
You collect a small hair sample (simple step-by-step instructions included) and send it in. I run the analysis and study your horse's patterns and ratios.
Step Two
Balance
You receive a written report and a 90-day plan built around your horse. Forage first, with targeted minerals only where the data points to them.
Step Three
Thrive
You stop guessing at the bucket and start working from real information, watching coat, topline, energy, and attitude as the foundation comes into balance.
What you receive

- ✓A personalized mineral pattern report in language you can understand
- ✓A full technical results document for your records, and to share with your vet if you choose

Delivered entirely in writing.
Why me
Four NCHA World Championships and a lot of road miles taught me to read a horse before the horse says it out loud. Reading patterns is just how my brain works.
It's the same approach I used on myself first, then brought to the women I coach. It applies just as well to the horse standing in your barn.
One thing to be clear about: I'm not your vet, and I'm not here to replace your vet or your farrier. My job is to look at minerals, find the patterns, and give you a clear direction on the feeding and support side.
Common questions
Does the hair sample hurt my horse?
Not at all. It's a small clipping from the mane or tail, and most horses don't even notice.
Does this replace my vet?
No. This is mineral and nutrition support, not diagnosis or treatment. If your horse has a medical issue, that's your vet's lane. Your results are yours to share with them if you'd like.
How long does it take?
Most results come back within [2 to 3 weeks] of your sample reaching the lab.
What if I don't know my hay or forage?
That's fine. Start from whatever you can tell me about their current hay and feed. A hay analysis is an optional next step if you want to go deeper.
Do I have to buy supplements?
No. Supplements are optional and only come up if the data points to them. The goal is fewer, not more.
Stop guessing. Start knowing.
