Evidence-based support for your equine best friend, inspired by mine.

Hi, I'm Isabelle, and this is Honor! After struggling with finding a diet that helped Honor, my hard-keeping OTTB, feel and look his best, I developed a tenacious passion for learning all I could about equine nutrition. This ultimately drove me to pursue 2 equine-specific degrees (Honours Bachelor's and MSc Equine Nutrition) to keep learning as much as I could about all things equine nutrition. My research focused on individualized nutrition that honours each horse's unique metabolism, as well as nutritional strategies for longevity - because who doesn't want their horse to live a long, happy life!

Now, as a MSc Equine Nutritionist and Registered Professional Animal Scientist (Equine Specialization), I help horse owners support their equine best friends with diets based in the latest equine science, and by applying individualized nutrition, we finally see the results you dreamed of.

 

At Honos, I offer supportive, non-judgmental nutrition consults tailored just for you and your horse, because you deserve to feel confident about what you're feeding your equine best friend.

With love, 

Isabelle (& Honor).

DEDICATED TO BEST PRACTICES & CONTINUAL LEARNING.

Horse-First Equine Science & Nutrition Support

Empowering, evidence-based consulting that improves both horse & human lives.

Horse Sense You Can Trust

At Honos, I mix lifelong horse sense with advanced formal education, certifications and a hyperfixation on learning all I can about horses.

 

What you get:

  • Evidence-based, horse-first recommendations, with an empowering approach because you deserve to feel confident about your horse's diet.

  • Independent, unbiased advice catered to your horse's unique needs and history - I'm loyal to only your equine best friend, because that's what matters.

 ARE YOU MAKING REACTIVE FEEDING DECISIONS INSTEAD OF INDIVIDUALIZED ONES? 

Most horse owners won't admit this, but they don't actually feel confident in their feeding plan.

Your horse STILL not looking or feeling their best?

Getting pulled in by every other supplement advertisement?
Asking friends - or facebook groups - for nutrition advice or insight on your feeding plan?

You're not looking for validation, you're looking for something to soothe your doubts, and no supplement or Facebook comment will do that.

So, what will? Learning what your horse needs & how the close the current diet is to meeting those needs.

When you book a nutrition service with Honos, you'll start feeling confident knowing what your horse's current diet is providing, where it's lacking, and how to provide it, so that you know exactly what your horse needs - and that it's in their feed. 

Switch from reactive to proactive, and feel confident that your equine best friend is fueled to thrive.

“Just the little tweaks I’ve made since discussing my mare’s diet has transformed her for the better. If you’re even a tiny bit confused or unsure, or maybe even curious to know more about your horse’s current diet, definitely reach out to Honos and explore the blog! It’s been so helpful to me and I know that Honos can get anyone on the right track.”
