Minerals and Metals Mane Test Service
I’m so excited to offer the Minerals and Metals Mane Test—a simple, non-invasive way to uncover what’s happening beneath the surface of your horse’s nutritional health. By sending in a small sample of your horse's mane, we can gather detailed insights to support their overall wellness and performance.
What Is the Mane Test?
With just a small section of your horse's mane, a CLIA-certified lab analyzes key indicators of their metabolic, functional, and endocrine health. This testing can reveal the influence of diet, stress, medications, supplements, toxins, inherited traits, and even behavioral patterns over the course of your horse’s life.
How This Test Can Help You and Your Horse
Identify Nutritional Deficiencies: Many behavior or performance challenges are rooted in mineral imbalances. Did you know horses with behavior problems are often missing two or more key minerals?
Address Specific Issues: Whether your horse is struggling with poor muscle development, allergies, arthritis, or metabolic concerns, this test can reveal underlying imbalances. For example, high iron levels are common in horses dealing with arthritis or allergies.
Personalized Nutrition Plans: Using the test results, I’ll create a tailored nutrition plan to help you support your horse’s unique needs. Together, we’ll make sure they have everything they need to thrive.
