Equi-Analytical Laboratory Services specialize in the most modern techniques for determining the nutrient content of forage and feed for horse owners. Because forage makes up at least 50% of a horse’s diet, knowing its nutritional make-up is essential for creating an optimum total feeding program. Thorough analysis is the only way to accurately evaluate your horse’s ration, allowing you to adjust both feed and forage for a healthy, balanced diet. This is vital to your horse’s well-being, because better nutrition means better health, stronger performance, and longer life.
Their facility, located in upstate New York, maintains an outstanding track record for accurate testing and responsive service. Their qualified staff are dedicated to meeting your analytical needs. Equi-Analytical offers a variety of analytical packages that are an indispensable part of the feeding program for all types of horses, from 4-H projects to championship-caliber performers.

That’s right — this month’s featured equine is a Miniature Mule! Meet Spinner, who is ready to win you over.
Though that face is so innocent, Spinner is incredibly smart, and he knows it. Spinner is not for a beginner. He is quick, he can pull, he can bolt, he can spin… all of those funny silly quirks that these cute little fellas like to have.
If you are experienced and ready to take on quite a decent project, Spinner is for you. Happy Trails would love to find a confident home that will continue to explain to Spinner that humans are friends and that life can be fun.
