The Journey
Statera was founded out of a deep-seated passion for horses that has shaped my entire life. Like many horse owners, I began questioning the rationale behind my feeding regimen, particularly focusing on optimising gut health to enhance overall well-being.
Born into a ‘horsey’ family I was lucky to be exposed to the equine world from a very young age. Riding never felt like a skill that had to be learnt, more like something that was innately in me. Horses were an outlet and a passion and some of my earliest memories include these amazing animals.
A passion for training young horses ignited early in my riding career, culminating in the purchase of my first Off-The-Track Thoroughbred at just twelve years old. The exhilaration of transforming and re-educating these young horses far surpassed the allure of competitive riding. Witnessing their development and forging a deep bond with each horse was incredibly rewarding.
It had been what seemed a lifetime of making bonds and developing connections with horses and a few in particular that were incredibly important and pivotal in my lifelong equine learning when I eventual stopped riding and owning horses. It was time to ‘settle down’. And then came Jagger..
After a decade of raising three children, I felt a strong pull back to my equestrian roots. This journey led me precisely where I belonged.
Enter Jagger. Almost as soon as I expressed my readiness for a new horse, Jagger appeared. Young, green Off-The-Track Thoroughbred (OTTB). Exactly the challenge I needed after a decade away from riding! Initially spirited and somewhat rambunctious (still true to this day), Jagger needed work on his behaviour, especially managing anxiety triggers. Despite the challenges, I was determined to face them head-on
Jagger proved to be a remarkably quick learner, thriving on mental challenges and quickly mastering new skills in our flatwork sessions, showing promising talent. Then came a setback—he was diagnosed with Ross River Fever, plunging him into ongoing battles with gut inflammation and fatigue, exacerbated by his anxiety and stress.
Despite the hardships, Jagger’s illness became a catalyst for my deep dive into research, learning, and ultimately pursuing studies in Equine Nutrition. Through his struggle, I discovered a profound passion.
Today, Statera stands as a testament to my dedication to improving equine health from the inside out, rooted in personal experience and driven by a commitment to helping horses thrive.
