What is EQ?

 Understanding the basic premise of what makes a healthy, safe, sane and sound horse forced us to ask tough questions about current traditions of horse care.

Still many horses being housed, fed, and trimmed in ways that directly contradict their evolutionary requirements for health and longevity.  

My mission is to shine a light on this disconnect. 

To educate and awaken people so they can make the connection and create a disease-free long and healthy life for their horses, and help others do the same. 

 EQ's first website went live in 1999...built on dial up!  

My vision and content continues to adhere to the philosophy of horse-keeping that sees horses living as close to being in harmony with their basic physiological and psychological needs as possible. 

The needs of the natural horse are simple. It's when we ask them to adapt to appease our human needs that things become complex.

The EQ System is a horse keping model that stimulates the essential innate programing of the horse:

example: Constant outdoor access to the seasons and climate, the sun’s rays, and the pull of the moons cycles. Space designed to maximize movement. Footing designed to aide in natural hoof wear and overall health. Feeding that mimics slow, continual grazing, providing an array of nutrients along the way. Another horse (or ten!) to honour social needs, providing safety and herd structure...and honouring the individual horse.
