The Forageplus Philosophy
Whole Horse Health Starts With Forage
Science-led horse nutrition built around forage analysis, mineral balance and the individual needs of every horse.
Modern Horse Nutrition
Many Horses Are Overfed,
Underbalanced & Nutritionally Stressed
Modern grazing, conserved forage and generic feeding systems often fail to provide horses with the mineral balance they require for long-term health, soundness and resilience.
Forage Mineral Imbalances
Excess iron, low copper and zinc, and poor mineral diversity are now common across many grazing systems.
Generic Supplementation
One-size-fits-all supplements rarely address the individual nutritional profile of the horse or forage.
Symptom-Based Feeding
Many feeding approaches focus on symptoms instead of identifying and correcting underlying nutritional imbalance.
We believe horse nutrition should begin with understanding forage composition, mineral interactions and the needs of the individual horse.
Every formulation is designed around evidence-based mineral balancing, bioavailability and whole horse health principles.
The Forageplus Method
A Clear, Scientific Approach to Feeding the Whole Horse
We do not believe in guessing. Our approach begins with forage, identifies nutritional imbalance, then uses targeted formulation to support long-term health, soundness and welfare.
Analyse the Forage
We start with the foundation of the diet: grass, hay or haylage.
Identify Imbalances
We look at mineral levels, ratios and common antagonists such as excess iron.
Correct Deficiencies
We use targeted nutrition to support the horse’s actual requirements.
Support Whole Horse Health
Our aim is stronger hooves, better coats, improved resilience and healthier horses.
SCIENCE-LED FORMULATION
Formulated Around Biology, Not Marketing Trends
Every Forageplus formula is designed around equine biology, forage analysis and real nutritional patterns — not generic claims or fashionable ingredients.
Mineral Balance Matters
Correct ratios are considered alongside individual mineral levels.
Bioavailability First
We prioritise forms of nutrients that are practical, effective and well suited to horses.
Targeted, Not Generic
Our formulas are built around common forage patterns seen across thousands of samples.
