MB Equine Services
Since 2009, MB Equine Services has been developing into business where proficiency in equine nutrition, regenerative horse property design and pasture management consulting and sport coaching services have come together to provide the equine industry with applied and scientific based advice on a number of imperative horse care aspects including horse nutrition, health, management and training.
Equine Nutrition Consultancy
MB Equine Services offers specialised Equine Nutrition Consultancy services to support horse owners, breeding studs, equestrian sport and racing stables, trainers, coaches and feed/supplement companies with professional and practical information about horse nutrition.
Equine nutrition advice is not only about evaluating and formulating pony or horse diets according their nutritional needs, it involves various other aspects such as your personal goal-setting, time management, general feeding and horse management and property and pasture planning. We discovered that a holistic perspective is essential in horse (nutrition) management and we therefore provide education and consultancy services that take important horse care and personal aspects into consideration to be able to maintain the desired outcomes over long-term. Applied equine nutrition science and integrated horse management is the key to your horse’s health and performance!
Regenerative horse property design & pasture management
Generally, horse keeping is considered to be a costly hobby or business, especially with current price rises in living expenses and feed costs. On top of that, horse and land owners encounter the high input costs or difficulties to maintain pastures and sustain the dietary needs of horses. The need for a new approach to these challenges of horse keeping is getting more foot hold in the equine community and sport industry. To be able to make horse keeping more economically viable and productive we must develop a sustainable horse property and management plan that caters for immediate and long-term needs, your own personal goals (social, economical), your horse’s well-being and the environment. MB Equine Services provides this new approach by using Permaculture principles and Holistic Management® (HM). Our Regenerative Horse Property Design & Pasture Management consultancy services are for all horse and land owners, small and large acreage, that want to restore their land, improve soil carbon, regenerate pastures, drought proof their farm and close the input cycle of chemical based fertilisers by developing their own compost (tea) alternative and reduce supplementary feed cost. We provide specialised education and consultancy services in full main frame property (re) design, swale and dam design, Keyline Design, Regenerative Pasture Management, Holistic Grazing Planning®, horse forage systems, forage enrichment and slow feeding strategies, and compost (tea) training and supply. We have the experience to help you through your journey of restoring landscape fertility and decreasing your dependence on high cost, high input equine property management!
Dressage Coaching & Equine Training
In addition to the core consultancy services, MB Equine Services also provides professional sport coaching and training services for the equine community. The involvement in equestrian sports, training, coaching and judging adds a sport vision and understanding to the equine nutrition, property design and pasture management consultancy.
MB Equine Services is specialised in Dressage Coaching and Foundation Training that are based on classical dressage and balanced riding principles. The aim is to train the rider and horse according their abilities and personal goals. The lessons and clinics by Mariette van den Berg support the harmonious development of rider and horse by improving the rider’s seat, posture and relaxation to increase body awareness and develop the independent seat of the rider. A balanced and elastic seat will allow free use of the body and ultimately making the horse more balanced and supple in the movement and responsive to the aids.
