A La Carte, TB 14 years old
Aug 2025 - A La Carte arrived very underweight and she is on the hot side, she is getting calmer and more manageable all the time but still can lose the plot
Nov 2025 - We have started on a HHIO Rebuild as well as Support and Performance. We are at Taupo horse trials and I have NEVER seen this mare do anything other than watery cow splats as soon as she gets on the float or is at an event. Poop still could be better but a huge improvement. Behaviour wise, she just did XC, super calm in the warm up area and the most controlled and harmonious XC she's done to date.
March 2026 (photo) - I guess you could call that a shine! Grace's horse at Timberlands, on Performance and Restore, about to do her dressage. She finished 3rd individually on her dressage score and her team came 3rd as a team. And no sloppy poops all weekend!
A la Carte's diet:
grass/hay 24/7
Hard feed is timothy chaff, linseed, rice bran pellets, salt, Performance and Restore. Quantities have gone down over time and we removed the Copra as she is a good weight now.

Mack, TB 11 years old
Mack is a thoroughbred competing in 2* eventing. He is kept in top condition on HHIO Performance and HHIO Support.
His diet alongside these minerals and supplements is: Fibre Fresh fibre protect, Salt, Cold pressed flaxseed oil, Hekeao feed co gastro fuel
"Mack has been on this feed schedule with HHIO for the last 6 months and I would never look back! A cost effective feed and my horses have never looked better. Mack was a very hard horse to keep weight on and now he is fed half the feed but with the support of HHIO products he looks even better than before. Thankyou for your products ! Game changer!" Ruby K
Yogi, Clyde/Percheron 6 years old
This gorgeous fellow is a big boy around the 650kg - 700kg mark.
His diet consists of:• 250g (ice cream container) Annandale lucerne chaff• 250g (heaped cup) CopRice R Rice bran pellets• 60g salt• 20–25g Foundation (slightly rounded scoop - as recommended) (for his size)• 30g Support• 60mL Fourflax flaxseed oil+ Toxin Buster when needed and of course plenty of forage!! He maintains weight well and is in a moderate level of work.
Whilst this feed is highly targeted and the results show for themselves - currently looking to change his bucket feed to help consolidate costs and simplify even further, to:- Approx. 500g Harvest Grains DIY Smart Feed - 50g Salt- 20-25g HHIO Foundation - New HHIO Support 40g which includes a toxin binder
"He’s looking very shiny and healthy after his clip and his behaviour has been amazing, I’m loving your products :)" Stella D
Caia, 13 years old
Caia has been on HHIO Performance for 6 weeks at the time of this photo. She was also changed to one of our recommended base feeds that covers nutrients lacking in the diet like sodium, chloride and omega 3 and cuts out unnecessary ingredients (like wheat, corn, canola, soy, beet) & nutrients (like high starch + sugars) to help improve digestive and overall health. Caia had a long history of on and off photosensitivity issues. She was previously on a competitors product and didn't have the photosensitivity issues, however cost is a factor, so looked to try HHIO.
That base feed was Copra, Crushed Linseed, Chaff, Salt + HHIO Performance & HHIO Toxin Buster when needed.
"Just wanted to let you know I’m over the moon with the HHIO Performance! I transitioned her over gradually from her previous mineral mix and she’s now been on Performance solely for 6 weeks and following one of your base feeding guides also and she is looking and feeling AMAZING coming out of winter
here’s hoping the warmer months go just as well for us and we have no photosensitivity issues" Beka R
