Nutrition…. One of the most common questions we get is “what should we be feeding our horses?”. A loaded question for sure and one that is not that easy to answer. No one answer will even be the same, as each horse will have their own unique requirements. There isn’t a product on the market that is fit for every horse, although with marketing and the amount of opinions out there, you would be sure there must be a magic formula!

I’ve had experience caring for horses that needed to be fed up due to poor body condition and on the opposite end as well who were obese and needed adjustments made to loose weight. In every case, we involved the help of our veterinarian and nutritional expert to help determine the best course of action for each one. Often, underlying health conditions are part of the reason why these horses are in the state they are.

But the question always remains, what do I feed my horse? So join us today as we dive down the rabbit hole and have a great conversation with Tanja Minder of TriSana Nutrition.

Tanja is an animal nutritionist, serving local communities in Alberta. She also uses online networks to reach as many equine & canine enthusiasts across Canada as she can.

Graduating with a bachelor's degree in animal sciences, she continued her quest for knowledge at the University of Calgary in Veterinary Medicine. Due to serious personal health issues she was unable to finish her studies, but this twist of fate solidified her belief in complementary modalities to heal the body from the inside out.

Tanja has extensive experience in the field of veterinary medicine, ranging from years of professional schooling to working in various equine industries. This scientific knowledge, combined with her lifelong professional involvement with horses, spanning from performance to breeding, has made her an invaluable resource for the equine community.

Her hope is to empower and inspire others to make informed decisions for their equines' nutrition. She has poured her love of animals and dedication to their betterment into her company, TriSana Nutrition. Tanja hopes that through TriSana Nutrition she can join your equines' health team, to help your horse lead its brightest, most vital, life.
