I am a fully qualified Equine Sports Masseuse who studied initially with Equestricare. I have furthered my education with a dissection with the renowned Sharon May Davis, completed Equi-Tape Kinesiology taping and I'm studying Animal Neuro Myofascial Release and I recently attended EMMET. Equine Sports Massage works on the whole body, influencing the muscles, tendons, joints and skeletal framework. I use a range of techniques to help release tension in areas of the body which may be causing a restriction in movement and lack of performance. I encourage and provide advice to clients on stretching, strengthening, nutrition, hoof balance, teeth and saddle fit. http://www.horsemassage.com.au/

Red Light Therapy - In my tool kit I use a red light pad and torch which further helps release tension, can penetrate deep damaged tissue and encourages repair on a cellular level. Benefits of Red Light - IN SUMMARY
LED’s at specific wavelengths increase circulation by increasing the formation of new capillaries. This allows more blood supply – hence more oxygen and vital nutrients to reach tissues. This increased circulation also allows for the faster removal of metabolic wastes. Studies site that LED Therapy stimulates the production of collagen. Collagen is an essential protein for repair to damaged tissue, including ageing skin and scars. LED Therapy stimulates the release of ATP – Adenosine triphosphate. ATP is the major carrier of energy to all cells. LED Therapy increases the activity of the lymphatic system thus promoting a faster elimination of swelling – oedema in tissues. LED Therapy reduces the excitability of nervous tissue by stimulating the release of endorphins. Endorphins are the body’s natural pain fighting chemicals. LED Therapy increases the synthesis of RNA and DNA. This helps damaged cells to be replaced more quickly. LED Therapy increases phagocytic activity hence helps fight infections. Phagocytes help to destroy and mop up dead or degenerated cells. LED Therapy stimulates tissue granulation which is an important part of tissue repair. LED Therapy stimulates trigger points and acupuncture points. LED Therapy helps to relax muscles and reduce stress. I find it extremely effective on injuries, scar tissue and acupuncture points. https://www.redlighttherapy.com.au/

Kinesiology Taping - extra charge
Physio taping is extremely effective at helping release tight tissue and encouraging blood flow to the area to heal. Assists with recovery. Helps support muscles,joints, ligaments and tendons. Can be used to activate a muscle group that is not being used effectively. Helps reduce edema, scar tissue and encourage healing. Very effective when traveling, as decrease swelling in the legs. http://equi-tape.com

Do you feed copra? 🌴I do they do great on it 🥥❤️

I always hear…
“horses would never eat coconut in the wild”

And I get it… but let’s be real for a second…

👉 Horses wouldn’t eat honey
👉 They wouldn’t eat molasses
👉 They wouldn’t go looking for sugar cane
👉 And I highly doubt they’d choose field corn 🤢

Yet these are in SO many commercial feeds…

So let’s talk about copra 👇

Copra is actually a really handy feed when used properly:
✔️ Low starch (gut friendly 🙌)
✔️ Good fibre source
✔️ Great fats for condition & coat
✔️ Adds some protein

BUT… like everything… it’s not perfect

⚠️ It’s LOW in lysine
➡️ This is the key amino acid for muscle building
➡️ So if copra is your main protein source… you won’t build real topline

⚠️ It has an inverted calcium : phosphorus ratio
➡️ This can affect bone strength, muscles & even the nervous system over time

✨ So what does that mean?

You can absolutely feed copra…
You just need to BALANCE it.

✔️ Add a quality amino acid source (lysine is key 🔑)
✔️ Balance your minerals properly

When you do that…
Copra becomes a brilliant addition to a simple, effective diet 🙌

It’s never about one ingredient being “good” or “bad”…
It’s about understanding the whole picture ❤️

Zeter 💫 9 year old TB — and such a happy boy these days ❤️ despite his body issues. A diet that supports him really helps.

This is what’s working for him 👇 in light work. Tbs don’t have to be expensive

🌾 400g Lupins
Low starch + a great amino acid profile
→ Supporting topline muscle and recovery

🌱 300g Chickpeas
Non-grain starch that’s kind on the hindgut
→ Extra amino acids + safe energy

🥥 250g Copra
Good fats for coat health
→ Some amino acids (but low in lysine)
That’s why we balance it with lupins + chickpeas ✔️

🧂 30g Minerals
He was on more previously… now he’s topped up and thriving
→ Just maintaining balance

🦠 20g Hindgut Builder ❤️
Because gut health is everything
→ Hooves
→ Coat
→ Muscles
→ Mentality

Once per day and if he does any exercise I give him the same again

🍃Only grassy hay 2-3kg

I absolutely love our resident wallabies ❤️
There’s hundreds of them… and when you’re on horseback, you can get so close. It’s such a special, peaceful feeling.

Moments like that remind you how lucky we are to share this land with them.

But I do worry about their future 😢
This is the last block of land left in this part of Thornlands… and development is getting closer.

They’re already surrounded by major roads.
Where do they go next?

It’s easy to forget that this was their home first

For now, I’ll keep soaking up these quiet moments with them and appreciating just how special they are ❤️

Not all vitamin and mineral mixes are created equal.

Many supplements include nutrients in tiny micro amounts that read good on the label but do not meaningfully support the horse - this is called ‘label dressing’

At Neigh Neigh Nosh we formulate with functional inclusion levels, using organic minerals designed for better absorption and utilisation.

Because horses deserve more than label dressing.

How much starch is too much for your horse?

If you feed more than 1–2 grams of starch per kg of body weight per meal, you risk upsetting your horse’s hindgut.

The worrying part?
Many feeds that contain grain don’t even declare the starch percentage on the bag — especially some pony pellets and cheaper mixes.

Let’s look at a real example.

Hugh was being fed a complete race feed, Hygain Release, which already contains grain. Fed at the recommended amount the trainer didn’t need to add anything extra… but cracked corn was added on top.

Hugh would have had no other option than to eat
He didn’t complain.
He just underperformed.

When horses come off very high starch and sugar diets, something interesting often happens — the tight, braced topline drops away and reveals what’s actually there… the true body often very little muscle.

That’s when people often think the horse needs more grain.

But sometimes the real question is:

Are they getting enough lysine and quality protein?

Lysine is the first limiting amino acid in horses and is essential for muscle development and recovery.

Performance horses, including racehorses, often need around 50g of lysine per day and about 2% of bodyweight in protein intake to properly support muscle and tissue repair.

Sometimes the issue isn’t energy.

It’s building blocks.

Feed the gut well.
Feed the right protein.
Build the horse from the inside out.

Just remember it takes a lot of time to build muscle too, but once you have it
It shouldn’t just disappear if the body is healthy

No hoof, no horse 🐴

Check out the changes in this giant 17.2 TB’s feet 🙌

The first photo was taken on the 5th of September. Not long after, he had to go barefoot because he simply couldn’t hold a shoe.

We started him on our Hindgut Builder and Performance Vitamin & Mineral Mix, and with the help of great farrier work from Chris Rowland, things started to change.

Fast forward to now:

✨ Much stronger hoof quality
✨ Heel growth (which he previously lacked)
✨ The crack is no longer an ongoing problem

Hoof health doesn’t just happen at the foot.

You need a healthy hindgut to absorb minerals, and you need the right mineral balance and quality for those minerals to actually build strong structures like hoof, bone and tissue.

Build the horse from the inside out.

Bananas are a superfood — for us and our horses 🍌🐴

They naturally contain:

✨ Magnesium
✨ Vitamin B6
✨ Electrolytes
✨ Prebiotic fibres that support the gut

They can help soothe the GI tract, and ripe yellow bananas provide a gentle natural sugar boost after work — without the big spike and crash 💥

I’ve popped these moulds into the freezer ready to use as a little gut-support / post-work treat.

Simple. Natural. Functional.

Sometimes the best support isn’t complicated — it’s understanding how food works in the body.

Built from within 🤍🐎

I’ve realised something about myself over the years…

I’m always drawn to the “hard cases.”

The ones labelled crazy.
The chronic skin horses.
The agro mares.
The ones that are exhausted, shut down, reactive or written off.

The ones destined for the ground, the sales, or being passed around.

Dancer was one of those horses.

When she arrived, she was chronically exhausted.
Her nervous system was fried.
She’d sustained a head injury at some point in her life.
She couldn’t even stand still without collapsing.

She didn’t need force.
She didn’t need more pressure.

She needed stability.
Nutritional support.
A quiet nervous system.
And time.

And that’s exactly why Neigh Neigh Nosh was created.

Not for the easy horses.
Not for the ones already thriving.

But for the ones who are surviving.

The horses whose bodies are under so much internal stress that it shows up as behaviour, skin issues, tension, poor performance or “attitude.”

The ones who force you to research.
To observe.
To truly understand how the gut, immune system, fascia and nervous system all connect.

Because when you support the inside properly —
the outside changes.

Dancer today can stand peacefully.
She can breathe.
She can be present.

That’s not just training.

That’s internal regulation.

Neigh Neigh Nosh was built for the hard cases.
The misunderstood ones.
The horses who need rebuilding — not masking.

And honestly?

They are the ones that teach you the most 🤍🐎
