Your horse was built for more than fine. Functional nutrition. Remove the limitations. Build capacity We are committed to helping you do more for your animals.

And this is why we like to keep things simple. We never use fillers, sugars or synthetic ingredients. Our products are produced in small batches, and we only source pure active ingredients that deliver therapeutic results. ScoopRX has combined scientific based research with a whole lot of love to design nutritionally dense products for those who believe a dog’s health, happiness and longevity begi

ns with their diet. All products contain 80% USDF certified organic ingredients. At ScoopRX we believe to achieve long lasting results we must treat the animal as a whole. Our ample experience with animals has guided us to produce complete, easy to deliver, “all-in-one” supplements that simplify the feed room. Our formulas combine top-shelf natural ingredients that work synergistically, making them much more powerful and potent for maximum absorption for the benefit of your animal, building wellness from the inside out. We use correct clinical ratios of stabilized ingredients. This means that our formulations achieve results, ingredients will not breakdown/oxidize when combined and will remain protected until they are absorbed in the digestive system.

Did you know that your horse's hindgut microbiome can shift in less than 24 hours 🤯. Abrupt diet changes mean beneficial bacteria die off and problems like colic follow. Slow transitions over 10 to 14 days let that microbiome adapt.

Gradual changes, low starches, and consistent routines keep the hindgut happy.

Your horse gets up to 70% of its energy from fiber fermentation. Not grain. Not supplements. Fiber.

Understanding how the horse converts feed into usable energy is one of the most practical things an owner can know - because it changes how you read both the feed bag and the horse.

Horses have three main fuel sources:

Fiber. Fermented by billions of microbes in the hindgut, producing volatile fatty acids that deliver steady, sustained energy for hours. This is the foundation of everything.

Fat. A dense, calm energy source processed in the small intestine, then sent to the liver and available as needed for muscle function. Fat delivers 2.25 times more energy per gram than starch - with zero insulin impact.

Starch. Quick energy from grains, but with a risk. When starch overloads the small intestine, the excess spills into the hindgut, disrupting the microbial population. That disruption is where acidosis, colic risk, and laminitis begin.

The horse that feels hot, reactive, or inconsistent is often a horse whose fuel balance is off - too much starch, not enough fiber and fat to steady the system underneath.

Share this with someone who's been told their horse just needs more work.

"My horse is hot and I've been told to cut his feed. But he's in work and I don't want him to lose condition."

One of our lovely Office Hours subscribers asked us this question. This is one of the most common conflicts in the feed room - and the advice to simply cut feed often misses the actual problem.

Hot behavior in horses is frequently a fuel source issue, not a volume issue. A horse getting most of its calories from starch and sugar will have higher blood glucose spikes, higher insulin responses, and more excitability. Cutting feed doesn't fix that. Shifting the fuel source does.

The practical shift: reduce starch, increase fat and fiber. Rice bran, stabilized flaxseed, and high-quality digestible fiber deliver the calories a working horse needs without the hormonal response that creates the edge.

The horse that is hot on grain is often not a hot horse. It's a horse running on the wrong fuel.

Drop a comment if this sounds like your horse. We'd love to hear what you're feeding.

Understanding how your horse converts feed into usable energy is key to better health and behavior.

Up to 70% of your horse's energy comes from fermenting fiber in the hindgut, creating a steady, sustainable fuel source.

Fat provides 2.25 times more energy per gram than starch, with zero insulin impact.

As a horse owner, learning the science behind optimal feeding is one of the most powerful ways to support your horse's health, performance, and long-term wellbeing.

Our lovely equine nutritionist is currently on maternity leave, so Office Hours is temporarily on pause. Shana will be back live on June 15th, ready to answer your nutrition questions and help you better understand what's happening inside the feed room. In the meantime, if you registered for email updates, you can find the latest recording in your emails.

Feeding less to manage weight - but worried she’s missing out on nutrients?

This came up on a recent Office Hours, and it’s one we hear a lot.

Watch to hear exactly what equine nutritionist Shana recommends for easy keepers who need less feed but full nutrition.

Sound familiar? Save this if you have an easy keeper. 🙋

Your horse can eat well and still come up short. Here's why.

Vitamin E is one of the most commonly deficient nutrients in modern horse diets - not because owners aren't feeding enough, but because it doesn't survive the way most people assume it does.

Fresh green pasture is the best natural source. The moment that grass is cut for hay, vitamin E starts degrading. By the time hay has been stored for a few months, a significant portion is already gone - and it keeps dropping the longer it sits.

For any horse without consistent access to fresh pasture, that gap is almost guaranteed. And it's one most standard feeds don't fully close.

Vitamin E affects muscle function, neurological steadiness, and immune response. It's not a performance supplement. It's a baseline nutrient the modern feeding environment doesn’t fully hit.

Worth checking before show season gets any deeper.

When did you last look at the vitamin E in your horse's diet?

Some days your horse is the lesson.

Not the ride. Not the result. The horse standing in front of you, telling you something in the only language he has.

You know your horse. You know when something is off - even when you can't explain it to anyone else. No heat, no swelling, no obvious reason. Just a feeling.

Those are the days worth paying attention to.

The horses who stay sound, stay consistent, and stay willing aren't just well-trained. They're well-supported underneath the training.

That's the whole idea behind what we do.

Tell us about your horse in the comments. We'd love to know who you're riding for.

Does your horse actually look that good - or is it just the winter coat?

Shana dropped this in Office Hours this week. The Henneke Body Condition Score system is one of the most useful tools for assessing where your horse is before you touch the diet - but the key word is palpate. Looking isn't enough, especially in winter when a thick coat can make a horse look great while masking what's really going on underneath.

Score 1 to 9. Aim for 4 to 6. And get your hands on your horse.

Shana covers topics like this every week in ScoopRx Office Hours - live, free, and open for your questions. Link in bio.

That shine. That presence. That horse who walks into the ring and owns it.

You think that's training.

And it is. But it's also every system underneath the training that held up when the pressure increased - the recovery that kept pace with the work, the digestion that kept absorbing when the schedule changed, the body that didn't have to compensate just to keep up.

Show season doesn't start at the gate. It started months ago, in every session where the body had enough support to rebuild what the work broke down.

Most horses don't peak at shows. They arrive.

The question ScoopRx asks: what is this horse carrying into the ring - and what would change if the systems underneath had been supported all along?

The best time to support that system was months ago. The second best time is now.

We built ScoopRx inside the same feed rooms you're standing in.

We've layered the same buckets, chased the same inconsistencies, and wondered why a horse that looks fine on paper still doesn't feel quite right.

That experience is the foundation of everything we make - and so is the science behind why those gaps happen in the first place. Horses are compensating. Their bodies are incredibly adaptive, quietly rerouting resources, borrowing from one system to support another. By the time you see a sign, the body has usually been working around a deficiency for a long time.

We built ScoopRx to get ahead of that. To give you formulas that support the whole system - not just the symptom - so your horse isn’t working so hard just to stay even.

Not to sell you more. To give you something that finally makes sense - biologically, practically, and for the horse in front of you right now.

If you've been searching for a clearer way to support your horse, you're in the right place.
