About Us

We’re a small, dedicated team of equine specialists, writers, and hands-on barn professionals who believe good horse care should be reliable, humane, and accessible. Our contributors include practicing veterinarians, certified farriers, equine nutritionists, competitive trainers, and experienced stable managers who collectively bring decades of practical experience to our content.

What sets us apart is our focus on real-world application. Recommendations are field-tested in stables and riding facilities, and we prioritize solutions that are safe, budget-aware, and easy to put into practice. We write for horse owners who want clear, dependable guidance—whether you’re new to horsekeeping or refining long-standing routines.

• Evidence-based horse care information grounded in veterinary and industry best practices
• Practical, no-nonsense advice for day-to-day barn life that respects your time and resources
• Content regularly updated to reflect the latest findings in equine health, nutrition, and management
• Direct access to our team’s collective experience across veterinary care, hoof care, nutrition, and training

We prioritize horse welfare, sensible practices, and straightforward communication. Our content is created to help owners make steady, safe improvements rather than chasing quick fixes. Every guide and article is reviewed to ensure it meets our standards for usefulness and safety.

Transparency drives our work — we disclose partnerships and any compensation we receive, and those relationships do not influence our recommendations. Our focus is the horse’s best interest; we will question trends or products that lack solid support from equine science or experienced professionals.

• Practicality: Advice that works in real barns and stalls, not just in theory
• Transparency: Clear disclosure of partnerships and a commitment to unbiased, evidence-based guidance
• Community: We learn and improve through shared experience among owners, trainers, and caregivers
• Expertise: Content developed and reviewed by qualified equine professionals
• Authority: Recommendations grounded in veterinary guidance, extension services, and trusted industry sources
• Trustworthiness: We correct errors and update guidance as new evidence and best practices emerge

Horse n Hay’s content is driven by real-world equine experience and expert review. We combine on-the-ground barn knowledge with guidance from licensed veterinarians and certified equine professionals to ensure recommendations are safe, practical, and current.

Our editorial team includes an equine health editor and a rotating panel of reviewers—veterinarians (DVMs), farriers, equine nutritionists, and certified trainers—who vet articles for clinical accuracy and practical applicability before publication.

We regularly consult peer-reviewed equine journals, extension service publications, and recognized industry organizations to inform our content. Where studies are referenced, we present the context, limitations, and how the findings translate to everyday horse care.

Continuing education and field experience are core to our process: contributors must maintain ongoing training or active work in equine care to create or review technical content.

• All care recommendations follow established principles of equine health and stable management
• Nutrition and feeding guidance aligns with veterinary best practices and recognized equine nutrition standards
• Stable safety and injury-prevention strategies developed with input from practicing veterinarians and experienced barn managers
• Continuous education and active field involvement required for contributors to maintain expertise
