Why choose VANI?
We believe we offer a complete and unique approach to optimising your horses health and wellbeing from the inside out. We have the ability and expertise to do this through incorporating information from a variety of angles. Initially we will obtain a comprehensive overview of your horses current feeding regime through an online or face to face consultation. We can also critically analyse your horses blood profiles from both an overall health point of view and measuring key nutrients that may indicate deficiencies and excesses in the current diet. We can then combine this information with other health parameters such as gastroscopy (to diagnose gastric ulcers), measuring and monitoring fecal pH (to monitor hindgut health) and evaluating the current diet information and analysis, both from a pasture and hard feed perspective. We are able to integrate some or all of these parameters to prescribe accurate and individual recommendations for your horse.
VANI is 100% indépendent
We are completely independent of feed and supplement companies and will provide recommendations that are best for you and your horse, while also taking into account your preferences for particular brands and products. We are also able to formulate a completely balanced feed supplement specifically for YOUR horse to be used in conjunction with a VANI prescription diet. This might work well for you if you are using a number of different products and would like an individualised solution that fits your horse perfectly. This is also a great solution where medications are required alongside feeding solutions.
