Practical Nutrition Support for Performance Horses & Their Owners.
Whether your goal is weight management, muscle development, improved condition, or overall diet balance, individualized nutrition programs are designed to take the guesswork out of feeding.
“Take the guesswork out of your feed room.”
Every horse has unique energetic requirements. We audit hay, forage, concentrates, and trace minerals to ensure peak condition without wasted supplement spend.
Nutrition Based on Science, Not Sales Pitches
Feeding performance horses shouldn't feel like an expensive chemistry experiment. We bridge the gap between academic nutrition research and practical barn management.
Forage-First Balancing
Hay and pasture comprise 80–100% of a horse's diet. We evaluate the true nutrient profile of your forage before adding concentrates or supplements, saving you money and preventing harmful imbalances.
Tailored for Performance
Whether conditioning a hunter, campaigning a jumper, working a reiner, or bringing a horse back from layup, diets are formulated around precise workload energy expenditures.
Unbiased & Independent
We do not sell proprietary feed bags or earn commissions on supplement buckets. Our loyalty is 100% to your horse's welfare, health, and your peace of mind.

Simplifying your feeding routine
Hi, I'm Cassidy.

Meet Cassidy Russell & Top Bar Equine Services
I've been involved with performance horses for as long as I can remember. Growing up in the hunter/jumper world and competing throughout childhood into adulthood, I made the jump into barrel racing in 2023 and fell in love with the sport. The horses may have changed, but one thing didn't: I've always been a performance horse owner looking for every possible advantage for my horses.
Before I ever worked in equine nutrition, I was the horse owner trying to figure it all out myself—asking questions like: Am I feeding enough? Am I feeding too much? Does my horse actually need these supplements? Is there a better way?
Top Bar Equine was built to take the guesswork out of feeding and give horse owners practical, individualized nutrition recommendations that truly make sense for the horse.
