Frequently asked questions

PowerHouse Equine Services - Clear Answers. Real Results.

Are you a large team?

We operate as a boutique, high-expertise combined team, focusing on quality over quantity.

You work directly with the two professionals who built PowerHouse Equine Services, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and a level of detail other operations often miss.

Do you work with special cases?

Absolutely. We specialize in:

  • ulcer horses
  • IR / metabolic horses
  • chronic abscessers
  • inflamed / sore-footed horses
  • topline-loss horses
  • complex behaviour + digestive combinations
  • horses with long-term unresolved issues

These are the cases we excel with.

Do you travel?

Yes.

We cover multiple areas and offer:

  • On-site barn assessments
  • Group rates
  • Travel-based clinics

We also offer virtual assessments for long-distance clients.

What services do you offer?

We provide:

  • Independent equine nutrition consulting
  • Farrier services (therapeutic, corrective & performance)
  • Rehab-focused hoof and nutrition evaluation
  • Virtual consults
  • Clinics, workshops, and barn education

Our goal is simple: support the horse from the hoof up with unbiased, evidence-based guidance.

I already have a farrier. Can I still book nutrition support?

Absolutely.

Many clients work with us for nutrition only.

You can keep your farrier - we simply support them by making sure the horse’s internal health and chemistry match the hoof they’re working on.

Properly balanced nutrition makes your farrier’s job easier and leads to better, longer-lasting results.

What does a nutrition consult cost?

Every horse -and every case- is different, so pricing varies based on location, number of horses, and the level of support required.

To ensure you receive accurate information for your horse and situation, we provide individual quotes upon inquiry.

Simply reach out to us at info@powerhouseequineservices.com (or use our website contact form), and we’ll be happy to send detailed rates and options.

No obligation. No pressure. Just clear information so you know exactly what to expect.

What does farrier work cost?

Farrier pricing depends on:

  • Trim vs shoeing
  • Hot vs cold shoeing
  • Therapeutic or corrective needs
  • Frequency and location

For accurate pricing, please contact us with your location and horse’s needs.

Do you do virtual consults for clients outside Ontario?

Yes, we support clients across Canada and internationally.

Virtual consults include the same evaluation and customized feeding plan as in-person sessions.

Do you sell feed or supplements?

No.

We are fully independent and do not sell products, earn commissions, or promote brands.

All recommendations are made solely based on what benefits your horse.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancellations within 48 hours may be subject to a fee.

Barns booking multiple horses require a barn deposit to hold the date.

Do you work with horses with behaviour issues?

Yes - within reason.

If we feel a case requires veterinary or behaviour-specialist intervention, we will refer appropriately.

When should I book a nutrition consult?

If your horse has:

  • Repeating abscesses
  • Hoof cracks
  • Insulin resistance / metabolic symptoms
  • Ulcers or GI sensitivity
  • Topline loss
  • Weight issues
  • Behaviour changes
  • Poor hoof quality
  • Unexplained inflammation

…a nutrition consult is highly recommended.

  • Hoof health workshops
  • Integrated farrier + nutrition presentations
  • “Read the hoof” educational days
  • Private barn sessions
