Real Horses. Real Results. Real Change.
It's easy as 1 - 2 -3

Real life case studies on horses who adopted the HHIO mineral balancing and cleaning feeding approach. 

 Simple. Clean. Targeted - truly balanced minerals and nutrients, to your horses forage.

BEFORE  - SEP 2025

"In the before photo, he’d already been through a bag of ** (hardfeed) and apparently had adlib forage (was at a turn out facility ) so the biggest change is the supps."  A Verstappen

STARTED ON HHIO FEED REGIME:

Lucerne/timothy mix chaff, Coprice high joule, 40g HHIO Performance, Salt, Cold pressed flaxseed oil, and moved him to a grassier paddock with old type grasses.

AFTER - OCT 2025

"I cannot recommend your products enough. I’ve never found something this effective and you are so helpful with the feed lists etc. It definitely has made a difference and following the feed plan actually makes it far cheaper and easier. You don’t have to feed as much as you think." A Verstappen

This combo was chosen from the HHIO easy choose base feed list and HHIO Performance was the appropriate formula for his needs - especially with the quality amino acids to support healthy muscle, hoof and coat. Once he is where Anna would like him to be, condition-wise, then he can be switched to HHIO Foundation which gives the same coverage but at lower levels (still higher than most on the market), is more economical - minus the digestive support.


BEFORE - JAN-FEB 2025

"This is my filly who I got mid January. She will be two years old end of December. Collage of before and after is less than 5 weeks apart when I first got her home." Tracey W

STARTED ON HHIO FEED REGIME

40g HHIO Performance, 30g HHIO Support, Salt, Chaff + Hekeao Gastro Fuel

Mostly full time on grass, and adlib hay in nets 24/7

AFTER - OCT 2025

AFTER - OCT 2025

"I just thought I'd send in some pics to shoe you how well my filly is doing! Im so stoked with how she is looking! She's only just turned two and finally looking the best she ever has. We are thrilled with the progress she has made! Such a simple change and massive results. We are very grateful to have found your products! She's going to look amazing this show season!" Jasmine B


BEFORE - AUG 2025

30 year old Cushing mare with main issue being liquid poos (stopped within 5 days of starting feed change), hard to put any top line on and bleached hairy coat with poor shedding.

STARTED ON HHIO FEED REGIME

Once per day:

20g HHIO Foundation + 30g HHIO Restore, 2 cups soaked Timothy pellets, 1 cup Coprice R, 1 ice cream container of lucerne chaff, 20mls leg up oil, 25 grams salt

x1 Tablet Prascend daily

Adlib hay and managed break feed grass

AFTER - DEC 2025

"Thanks for all the information so far. It’s been amazing for her. I thought I’d send you a 6 month update.  Flake is looking great.  Thanks so much for all the help. She’s much happier, even sprightly sometimes!" Cath W


BEFORE - JAN 2026

TB Gelding hard to keep weight and top-line on, not overly happy

STARTED ON HHIO FEED REGIME

Once per day:

40g HHIO Foundation + 30g HHIO Assist (when needed for grass), Copra, chaff and omega oil + salt

AFTER - FEB 2026

"The difference in his overall health and condition is huge, with much better hooves, coat health, and gained much needed weight and muscle.  He’s changed heaps and so much happier in himself too.  He’s like a different horse!" Kathrine M


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
