Alternate Touch Equine Supplement Specialists Alternate Touch Equine Supplement Specialists take a holistic approach to your horse's health What do we do? This product is available from our website.

Alternate Touch Equine Supplement Specialists is a company dedicated to maximizing the health and well being of our horses. Our knowledge of both scientific research and natural therapies allowed us to create a range of supplements to support healthy joint/muscle function (Equine Recovery Bars), support healthy digestion (Equine Digestion Bars and Equine Pre-Work Bars), support healthy neurological function (Help my Horse Calming Bars), support a healthy urinary tract (Equine UT bars) and support healthy metabolism (Equine Met-Aid Bars). Our supplement bars are often best combined with some of our powdered supplements (Magnesium Magic, Digestive Support Elixir or BJT Copper/Zinc Mix) or topical products, to provide a truly holistic approach to optimise and maintain the well-being of your horse. We are committed to helping you to find the best combination of products to help to support your horse in every way. If you feel you need advice or direction, Dr Penny Hawken is always happy to chat, to help tailor make the right preventative management plan for your horse. Get started by taking our supplement quiz to see which combination of products might be right for your horse - https://bit.ly/3pqIy8y

The popularity of the combination of anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant ingredients in our Equine Recovery Bars, led us to expand this particular product to dogs (Canine Miracle Bars), to support healthy joint/muscle function, healthy skin and/or recovery from injury in dogs.

💙 Midnight’s Story 💙

Midnight was a horse with a VERY sensitive gut.

For years, I managed his digestive issues with aloe vera gel alongside careful diet control. It helped a lot… but if I missed even one day, the signs would appear straight away.
His tell-tale signals? Girthy, grumpy, cold-backed, high head carriage and rushing... always rushing.

So, after seeing the amazing outcomes from our Equine Recovery Bars, I began researching natural, holistic ways to better support digestive health — and that’s how our Equine Digestion Bars were born ❤️

Each ingredient was carefully selected to support the digestive system as a whole:
✨ Buffer stomach acid
✨ Protect and support the stomach lining
✨ Promote healing
✨ Reduce inflammation
✨ Reduce “bad” bacteria and encourage healthy gut bacteria

They have become one of our most popular — and most transformative — products, and were one of Midnight's favourite bars right up to when we lost him in 2024 ❤️

When I was pregnant with Michael, I stripped back the horses diets to what I deemed the 'bare essentials', so hay, small hard feed and mineral lick in the paddock.

Well, the biggest change that I noticed was the removal of this magical product from their diet. Without our Magnesium Magic, when I took one of them out to go to the vet (yes calamity midnight struck again...) they were CRAZY 😂 To the point where I didn't feel safe (especially being pregnant..) as they were so intent on getting back to each other 😳

After that experience, I decided that our Magnesium Magic was very much a 'bare essential' for them and is always a staple part of their diet! Both for their peace and mind, as well as mine 🤪

Horses are complex beings ❤️ They are capable of so much and routinely amazes me what they do, what they tolerate and what they hide

It takes time to build a relationship with a horse and we need to remember that each horse is an individual, who deserves to be connected with, listened to as such ❤️ If we can connect to our horses in this way, we are more likely to become aware when something is not right for them, whether that might be in mind, body, soul or environment. We are more likely to prepare them for big changes like a move of agistment, or the change of seasons 👍

Knowledge is power and connection is critical to help our horses to be the best that they can be ❤️

He is 30 now, and enjoying a well earned retirement - honestly I take each day that he is still with us as a blessing 🦄

He loves his daily Equine Recovery Bars (he comes running to the gate), and I love them because the natural anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant ingredients help to to support his joints and muscles 💜

Our story

What is Alternate Touch? Alternate Touch is a company dedicated to maximizing the health and well being of animals. Our knowledge of both scientific research and alternative therapies allowed us to create a range of products to support healthy joint/muscle function (Equine Recovery Bars), support healthy digestion (Equine Digestion Bars) and support a healthy urinary tract (Equine UT bars). Our supplement bars can be also combined with a body work session, or our oral or topical products, providing a truly holistic approach to optimise and maintain the well-being of your horse. What do we do? Our approach to treating horses is to look at every aspect of the animal, including their nutrition, emotional status, physical and mental history, digestive function as well as any issues in the musculoskeletal system. This holistic approach allows Dr Hawken to assess the animal as a whole and create a program that has long lasting positive effects on the health and well-being of the animal. We offer both in person and online/telephone consultations, or you can simply order our products through our online shop . Though most of our products are targeted at the equine market, we also created a canine version of our Equine Recovery Bars, due to popular demand from our customers to support healthy joint/muscle function in their dogs (Canine Miracle Bars). Check out our range of animal supplement bars, topical and oral products, or contact us to create a tailor made program to help your animals to have a long and fulfilling life.
