About
MyHappy.Horse takes the guesswork out of equine feeding by combining cutting-edge AI with peer-reviewed equine nutrition science and decades of on-the-ground experience from Dr. Nerida McGilchrist. The app guides horse owners through a comprehensive nutrition assessment that captures the horse's weight, height, body condition score, age, metabolic tendencies, behavioral quirks, allergies, known medical conditions, and dietary preferences. It also factors in owner-specific inputs such as performance goals, budget, preferred feed types, and whether a calm or high-energy diet is desired. Using this data, MyHappy.Horse generates a fully customized feeding plan tailored to the individual horse — whether they're an easy keeper, hard keeper, performance horse, or have special dietary needs. The goal is to eliminate the overwhelm caused by thousands of feed product choices and contradictory social media advice, replacing confusion with clarity and confidence. Built and validated by an advisor to the world's leading nutrition companies, trainers, and breeders, MyHappy.Horse delivers the kind of expert-level nutritional guidance that was previously only accessible to elite equestrian operations. The app is currently available on iOS in Australia, with Android and international expansion on the way. A 7-day free trial is available, making it accessible for horse owners to experience the benefits before committing to a plan.
