About Me
Shiloh Hoffman
Certified Equine Nutrition Advisor | Independent Equine Nutrition Specialist
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your horse’s nutrition, unsure what to feed, or tired of conflicting advice—you’re not alone.
I help horse owners create clear, balanced feeding programs that support long-term health performance and overall well-being.
As an independent specialist, I am not affiliated with any feed or supplement companies—so my recommendations are always based on what is best for your horse.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Equine Science and a master’s degree, and I am certified through Legacy Equine Nutrition under Dr. Rachel Mottet. I have also completed advanced nutrition coursework with Dr. Eleanor Kellon. Additionally, I am a member of the Equine Science Society and the American Academy of Veterinary Nutrition—meaning all of my recommendations are backed by up-to-date research and science.
My background includes several years working as an equine veterinary intern alongside a board-certified equine veterinarian, and I regularly collaborate with veterinarians to support each horse’s individual needs.
I have been around horses all of my entire life, working with a range of breeds—from Paso Finos to Warmbloods. I’ve competed in disciplines including barrel racing, western horsemanship, reining, equitation, dressage, hunters and jumpers.
Today, I compete on the USEF A circuit in the hunters with my personal horses.
My goal is to help you feel confident, informed, and supported in your horse’s nutrition—without the confusion or guesswork.
Why work with me?
Choosing the right nutrition plan for your horse can feel overwhelming—especially with so much conflicting information in the industry.
My approach is different.
As an independent equine nutrition specialist, I am not affiliated with any feed or supplement companies. This allows me to provide completely unbiased recommendations based solely on your horse’s needs—not sales goals.
Every diet I evaluate is compared against established NRC guidelines to identify deficiencies, imbalances, or unnecessary excess. From there, I build practical, forage-first programs designed to support long-term health, performance, and overall well-being.
I combine a strong foundation in equine science with hands-on experience working alongside veterinarians to competing on the USEF circuit—so my recommendations are both scientifically sound and realistic to implement.
My goal is simple: to give you clarity, confidence, and a feeding program, that truly works for your horse.
