WHY DO WE SHOW UP FOR WORK EVERY DAY?

BECAUSE WE’RE ON A MISSION…

At FeedXL we’re dedicated to educating horse owners so that they understand nutrition better and can make informed feed choices. 

We cut through all the marketing bias and personal opinion and get to the facts.

The inspiration for FeedXL came from a Quarter Horse mare whose first foal sadly was stillborn. This loss prompted a deep dive into the role of diet in horse health, eventually leading to a PhD in equine nutrition. Along the way came the realization that many horse owners shared similar struggles with understanding how to create a balanced diet for their horses. From this shared passion and dedication, FeedXL was born, evolving into the unique horse nutrition calculator it is today. The team at FeedXL shares a passion for equine health and nutrition, combining the expertise of horse owners and nutritionists dedicated to ensuring horses receive optimal nutrition.

WE’RE REAL PEOPLE HERE. OUR DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS ALLOW US TO HELP YOU BETTER.
