Equine Consulting Services was established in 2004 and commenced with a client base of mostly commercial feed and supplement companies. Since January 2008 our focus turned to providing one-to-one advice for breeders and trainers. We now work closely with veterinarians, agronomists and researchers to provide our growing client base with unique, high quality services with the aim of improving productivity and performance and reducing the risk of disease through better health and management.
