Custom Equine Nutrition
www.customequinenutrition.com
Custom Equine Nutrition is a family run business located in the green mountains of Vermont. The company started when the owner; Nicole, was doing nutrition consultations for horse owners, stable managers, and veterinary referrals. She kept running into the same problem; there were no commercial supplements on the market that would come close to balancing the minerals in client's hay. Client's feed rooms looked like a chemistry lab...a pinch of copper, a scoop of magnesium and so on. Those who boarded their horse needed to premix containers of minerals to make things easier for the barn workers. Nicole felt there had to be more convenient way. The solution was to formulate an all-in-one product that provided clients with what their horses needed with only one scoop. This product is called Vermont Blend and is now widely used across the United States and recommended by farriers and veterinarians. They are also proud to be a Certified Green Business and have been featured by the Green Business Bureau. Some of their sustainable practices include...
- Running on solar power.
- Efficiency Vermont Energy Assessment and Audits.
- Upcycle of empty product bags for packaging material.
- All paper is shredded, composted, or upcycled as horse bedding.
- Product pallets are returned for re-use.
Custom Equine Nutrition’s goal is to provide owners with nutritional information that is backed by science, not opinion. A company who cares about your horse’s nutrition as much as you do.

Meader Supply

Meader Supply Corporation was founded mainly out of frustration at not being able to find the products we wanted and at the quality we demanded for our herd of registered Belgian Draft Horses. Consequently, our tack and harness products represent the finest in craftsmanship, many produced by superior Amish craftsmen, hardworking family-owned farms and businesses in small communities across America where quality and hard work are a way of life. You do not pay extra for the quality, as we work at eliminating the middleman. You will find our products priced to fit your budget.
We have a complete and extensive line of quality farrier products. Everything you need to shoe horses. From tools and aprons to shoes, nails and much more, we have the most up-to-date of what the farrier world has to offer.
