​Happy Horse Australia grew from a love of horses and a drive to help them thrive in the domesticated lives we built for them.
​
Today's horses live very differently to how nature intended — smaller paddocks, high-sugar pasture, mineral-imbalanced soils and limited movement. It's a world away from the wide, varied country they evolved for, and it takes a toll on their health in ways that aren't always obvious. Everything we talk about and make is designed to help bridge that gap — to support your horse's health so they can thrive in the domesticated life they now live.
​
Every Happy Horse Australia product started the same way — with practitioners who needed quality products to rehab and improve horse health. Our range was created by qualified equine practitioners across Podiotherapy, Naturopathy, Nutrition and Herbalism, formulated without harsh chemicals, fillers or unnecessary ingredients. These weren't made in a lab to a marketing brief — they were born from the needs of practitioners who wanted something no-nonsense, top quality and above all effective, for their clients and their own horses.
​
In the early days, only direct clients had access to these formulations. But they worked so well, and word spread quickly, that it built into something more. Today our products sit on store shelves right across Australia and are relied upon by practitioners nationwide, in everyday use and expert rehabilitation programs — a brand trusted and loved for its quality and effectiveness.
​
Happy Horse Australia was founded by Nathan and Nadine Marshall — a husband and wife team whose combined expertise sits at the very heart of everything we make. Nathan is a fully qualified Equine Podiotherapist with over 15 years in the field and holds the Diploma in Equine Podiotherapy — the highest hoofcare qualification in Australia. Mentored by some of the most respected names in the barefoot world, he was drawn early to the hardest cases of severe hoof rehabilitation, laminitis and founder.
​
If Nathan reads the horse from the ground up, Nadine reads it from the inside out — a fully qualified Equine Naturopath, Herbalist and Nutritionist, with 15 years of professional practice and more than 40 years with horses of her own. Her gift has always been unravelling the "tricky" cases — looking past the symptoms to the root cause and bringing a horse's whole system back into balance. Much of her work centres on the very same laminitis and metabolic challenges Nathan sees beneath the hoof.
​
What made this partnership so effective was the way they worked together — treating the hoof and the whole horse as one connected picture, rather than two separate problems. It's a holistic, whole-horse approach that consistently delivers where single fixes fall short, especially in laminitis rehabilitation and prevention, and it's the philosophy every Happy Horse Australia product is built on. These products were created to give the strong, correct foundation so often essential to start from — a solid base to build on, so the horse's environment and feed can then be adjusted to further support their health or rehab program.
​
Today, Happy Horse Australia is run by Lily Bunton-King, a qualified and passionate Equine Podiotherapist based in the Perth Hills of WA. As a former stockist of HHA products for her own clients, Lily can say with confidence — from use on her own and clients' horses alike — that every product has proven invaluable, and more importantly, EFFECTIVE.
​
Once you've found the information and products that truly work — seeing the difference in your horse's health and mind, you never want to go back.​​
