I cannot recommend highly enough the team at Chasing Zebras for their expertise, their care & listening & the on-going support they provided me with.

 

       

 

They came to my rescue after I’d had six months watching in despair my horses going downhill physically and mentally. I was at a loss and the vets had no answers. Blood tests all came back within ‘normal‘ range! It was at this point I contacted Chasing Zebras. They immediately recognised the clinical signs as possibly diet related. They analysed & re-set the feeds & minerals. The change in both horses was obvious and we are back to full health. I was struggling to believe it was diet, but I put my full trust in them and they got it right!

 

Bella now (Dec 2021), back out there and doing her thing.

 

We identified a few problems in the bucket feed, suggested changes for an interim diet, and then after the results came in for her water and pasture, we balanced her minerals and nutrition and built a bucket feed to complement her forage and workload. We did the same for her friend Mahi, who was also struggling. Bella’s doing great, she’s back out on the competition circuit and she just qualified for Horse of the Year. You go, Bella!

I recently had the pleasure of dealing with the ladies at Chasing Zebra’s.

 

WHAT A FIND!

 

As a non horsey mum, I always followed previous owners feeding routines for our pony.

 

Recently we noticed he was getting grumpier than usual, lacked energy and his normal “spark”.

 

Literally 3 days after seeing Libby, we had our boys back 🙏🏼

 

It is great that they are independent of any feed brand and have a genuine love of helping to make your pony/horse the best they can be.

 

I am telling EVERYONE and ANYONE about them!

 

Get in now before too many people know and you can’t get a spot!

Several friends had recommended Libby and Louise after I’d struggled for several winters to keep weight on my older Thoroughbred. He has Cushings and was suffering from mudfever (which, despite trying every option out there, wouldn’t clear up) and reoccurring bouts of cellulitis. Libby came for a visit and after an in-depth discussion about his history, feeding, grazing, health, etc, Chasing Zebras created a plan. This plan ended up simplifying his feed and supplements, and reduced the amount of different things I was giving him. Along with making his feeds simpler and more efficient, the new plan ended up being cheaper than his previous routine.
Within a couple of weeks I could see a marked difference in his weight and condition, and after nearly a year on the new plan, he’s just come through this winter looking better than ever. He’s also not had another bout of cellulitis (when for the past few winters he’s had recurring episodes, which have sometimes taken long courses of antibiotics to clear up). After the initial consultation and plan, Libby and Louise have checked in on progress and have been on hand to answer any questions. I’d absolutely recommend this service to anyone wanting support around optimising your horse’s feeding and supplement routine.
