Hair Test Lab

Hair Test Lab Hair Testing Laboratory is passionate about Equine health and wellbeing. A horse must be healthy from the inside for it to perform to the best of its ability.

HTL is a QLD owned family business that have lived and breathed horses their entire lives. They have had national level success in all equine pursuits: camp drafting, racing, hacking, dressage, stockhorse futurities, polocrosse: this has been accomplished not only by their quiet psychological approach to each individual horse but most importantly by looking after their nutritional health. HTL prou

dly employs families from the local area that also have a strong passion about equine and animal health and ethics. HTL supplements are made up of cellular and water soluble nutrients. 98% of the ingredients that are used to make all our formulas are sourced in Australia except where the quality is unavailable then they are currently sourced from Germany and New Zealand. HTL products are based on cellular nutrition – meaning we feel it is best for your horses to be fed nutritional supplements that have been alive at some stage. Cellular nutrients have the ability to be utilised completely by the equine athlete/broodmare as the intake congestion component is minimalized and everything has the ability to be absorbed. e.g.: A horse is similar to a human – it only has one gut, therefore the absorption process has only one chance to be effective. Whereas: a cow has a four gut system and can absorb rock based minerals efficiently as it goes to each gut. Have you ever seen pictures or footage of cattle in outback Australia and their paddock looks like red dirt, rock and the odd scrubby tree? The cattle still have good weight and a shiny coat and you wonder how they survive? Their bodies are designed to absorb rock based minerals efficiently where as a horse in that environment would more than likely look emaciated, dull rough coat, dull eyes, no energy because their guts are not designed for that sort of environment. When you send a hair sample to HTL how do they get the information from the hair? - by using a Radionics device. Radionics operates on the principles based on Quantum Physics. Not primarily upon the physical body directly but upon the subtle energy auric fields that surround the body. The hair from your horse has enough energy for Ali Hall-Perrin to gather information from and help you to rehabilitate your equine athlete.

Another question we often hear:
“My horses live in large paddocks. I only feed a small amount of hard feed but want them to maintain good muscle and coat shine.” 💚

Even horses on good pasture can benefit from targeted nutrition.
Pasture quality varies depending on:
• Soil mineral levels
• Season
• Rainfall
• Growth stage of the grass

A simple approach many owners use is supporting the diet with:

• Balanced vitamins and minerals
• Omega sources for coat condition

This helps maintain overall nutritional balance even when horses receive only small feed amounts.

Our most recommended supplements are:

A question we were recently asked: ❓
“My horse looks healthy in his coat and weight, but his hooves are brittle and barely grow. I’ve tried many supplements without much success.”

This situation is more common than people think.

Hoof quality is influenced by long-term nutrition. While trimming and shoeing are important, the hoof itself is made of keratin, which relies on specific nutrients for proper formation.
Key nutrients involved include:
• Zinc – supports keratin formation
• Copper – contributes to connective tissue integrity
• Protein (amino acids) – required for hoof structure
• Balanced mineral ratios – essential for absorption

Sometimes the challenge it’s in identifying whether something is missing or out of balance.

As many experienced farriers know, hooves often reflect what is happening nutritionally inside the horse.
When hoof issues persist despite good management, reviewing the overall diet can be an important step.

A horse’s immune system doesn’t switch on only when there’s a problem.

It’s active every single day responding to environmental stress, training load, travel, parasites, and seasonal change.

Supporting immune health isn’t about waiting until something goes wrong.

Key nutrients involved in normal immune function include:

• Zinc : supports immune cell activity
• Copper: involved in antioxidant defence
• Selenium & Vitamin E: help manage oxidative stress
• Adequate protein : required for antibody production
When mineral balance is off, the body has to work harder.

Frequent travel, competition, intense training, or seasonal transitions can increase nutritional demand, which is why balance matters year-round.

If your horse is under consistent workload or environmental stress, it may be time to reassess whether their diet is truly supporting long-term immune function.

When it comes to minerals, your horse needs the right ratios.

Minerals interact with each other in the body. If one is too high, it can reduce the absorption of another, even if you’re technically feeding adequate levels.

Here’s what that looks like in real life:

• Too much iron can interfere with zinc and copper absorption.
• Excess zinc can reduce copper uptake.
• High calcium (common in lucerne-based diets) can impact magnesium utilisation.
• An imbalanced calcium:phosphorus ratio can affect bone metabolism and muscle function.

This is why simply adding a supplement on top of pasture and feed can sometimes make things worse, not better.

You might see:
– Dull coat
– Weak or shelly hooves
– Poor topline
– Irritability or muscle tightness
– “Unexplained” deficiencies despite supplementing

The issue isn’t always a lack of minerals.
Often, it’s the wrong balance.

Before adding another supplement to the feed room, ask yourself:
👉 Are the ratios correct?
👉 Or are we just adding more?

If you’re unsure, reach out, we’re here to help you make informed decisions for your horse.

Healthy hooves don’t start at the farrier, they start with nutrition. 🌱

Hoof horn is made primarily of keratin, a structural protein that depends on the right balance of nutrients to grow strong and resilient.

Research shows that hoof quality is closely linked to:
• Zinc
• Copper
• Biotin
• Amino acids such as methionine

When these nutrients are lacking or imbalanced, hooves may become brittle, slow-growing, or prone to cracks.

Because hooves grow slowly, improvements from nutrition typically take months, not weeks, which is why consistency matters more than quick fixes.

While trimming and hoof care are essential, they can only work with the material available. Nutrition helps determine the strength and integrity of the hoof itself.

Strong hooves grow from the inside out…one balanced diet at a time.

Sometimes the biggest improvements start with understanding what your horse actually needs.

When nutrition is balanced correctly, changes can show up in condition, coat quality, energy levels, and overall wellbeing.

We love hearing stories like this one… thank you for trusting HTL with your horses.
