Grass Affected Support Consultation
If your horse changes with the season, reacts to certain paddocks, becomes footy, itchy, wired, flat, sour, sharp, anxious, or simply not themselves, this consultation is designed to help you make sense of it.
Some horses show sudden anxiety or panic. Some become reactive or aggressive. Others stagger, trip, stumble, move stiffly behind, look uncomfortable through the hindquarters, or seem neurologically unsettled. You may notice coordination changes, tension, fluid retention, scouring, head flicking, or behaviour that feels completely out of character.
These signs are not random.
While grass and pasture are often involved, the underlying drivers can include sugars, mineral imbalance, dietary load, environmental stress, or mycotoxins affecting the nervous system. What appears to be a simple pasture issue is often a wider systemic response.
With over 20 years of experience supporting horses through these complex presentations, I approach these cases with structured investigation and strong pattern recognition. The goal is to identify what is actually driving your horse’s reactions and reduce the pressure on their system.
This is individual support for you and your individual horse.
After booking, we speak directly by phone. I ask detailed questions about your horse’s history, behaviour changes, physical signs, grazing patterns, feed, environment, and seasonal influences. From that conversation, I identify the most likely pressure points and provide clear, practical recommendations tailored specifically to your horse.
Following the call, you receive a written summary and a clear guide to next steps to help prevent further grass affected behaviour and stabilise your horse moving forward.
You leave with direction, clarity, and a structured plan.
Just as importantly, you are supported. Watching your horse become anxious, uncomfortable, uncoordinated, or unlike themselves is deeply worrying. This consultation provides experienced oversight, reassurance, and a steady path forward so you are not trying to solve it alone.
Response time
I aim to schedule calls promptly. If your horse is escalating or becoming unsafe, please indicate this when booking so I can prioritise where possible.
