Horse health / Care
As a late bloomer to horses, I struggled to find all of the information I needed to ensure that I was looking after my horse correctly. Advice being thrown at me from all different angles, I decided that I needed to find a ‘single point of truth’ to start my understanding of horse health.
Following a history of Secondary Science Teaching and educational roles, my other past work history has been in the Information Services, Pharmaceutical, Science and/or Veterinary industry. Part time, I was learning about horses and I finally graduated from Charles Sturt university with distinction in Equine Science in 2011, and since this time have focused more on my passion for animal health. I also studied some remedial therapies, and have conducted remedial body work on horses since about 2015.
Under the name of Cazedarnes Equestrian, I have a YouTube channel devoted completely to supplying factual horse health information for owners. (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC2tq_xNnzcvRdy4K4D2ixw), in areas of general health, basic nutrition and biomechanics. I believe there is a lack of basic and correct health information for horse owners, to enable them to make their own good decisions regarding their horses health.
Currently I am lucky enough to be able to work with some amazing brands doing product development consulting for both equine and canine products. I also provide research services as well as regulatory affairs consulting to the animal health industry. I am in fact one of those lucky people who get to work every day in my area of passion.

Hemp Hype and Horses
Get the truth about how hemp can (and can’t) assist your horse.
There are many novel hemp-based products and feeds currently on the market, but how do you sift through the marketing to work out which hemp products are worth adding into your horses feed routine, and which are either not, harmful, or could even be prohibited. Hemp is highly palatable, and can be fed as a meal, oil, or even as husks and blended with other products. It really is a nutrition powerhouse and can provide a great source of vitamins and minerals. It is also a wonderful source of protein for horses, with an amino acid profile that provides all essential amino acids. Hemp is also a source of essential fatty acids, but as herbivores, it is not the ‘perfect’ ratio that is sometimes advertised.
What are some of the conditions that using hemp may assist with? What is the difference between hemp seed oil and a CBD product, and do these products contain THC? Does CBD have a place in horses’ health/treatment? Hemp products for horses are set to grow rapidly both inside and outside of the supplement market, so it’s a great idea to understand where it fits
