Our Story
For eight years, I traveled farm to farm—assessing horses and ponies, reading hay samples, watching body language, and listening to owners desperate for answers.
Through Aterak Nutrition, I didn’t just sell feed—I helped restore hope. But over time, one pattern became impossible to ignore. More and more of the cases I was called to weren’t just poor keepers or picky eaters—they were metabolic.
I saw horses surviving, but not thriving. They were stiff, sore, bloated, footsore, and mentally dull. Bloodwork didn’t always tell the full story. Medications provided temporary relief but didn’t restore health. And everywhere I turned, I saw the same thing: nutritional shortcuts were creating long-term suffering.
The scariest part? When a metabolic crisis hit, there was no safe, go-to product to stabilize the horse while the vet waited for test results. Owners were left in panic, watching their horses deteriorate with nothing in their hands but guesswork. So I decided to create the solution...
This brand is born from those years in the field, from those crisis calls, and from the belief that we can do better. It’s for every horse caught in the metabolic gray zone—too sick for normal feed, too sensitive for trial and error. It’s for the owner who’s tried everything and still can’t get ahead. It’s for the vet who wants real support between diagnosis and recovery. This isn’t just another supplement. It’s the product I wish I had for every one of those horses.
Safe. Stabilizing. Backed by field experience and designed with urgency in mind.
What We Believe
-
Nutritional rescue, not band-aid fixes
-
Soil-to-cell health over symptom-suppression
-
You deserve answers & your horse deserves a real chance to heal
We're not just "another feed company"...
For years, we walked pastures, stepped into barns, and listened to frustrated owners who were tired of chasing symptoms. We watched horses get prescribed more meds, more grain, more turnout, but still… they weren’t thriving. The real issue? Underlying metabolic stress. It was showing up in the eyes, the hooves, the gut, and the mind—and it was being overlooked. So we built something better...

What We Do
Aterak develops targeted, practical solutions for horses in distress—especially those prone to laminitis, bloating, soreness, dullness, or metabolic crash.Our formulations are crafted with purpose:
No empty promises.
We bridge the science of equine nutrition with the reality of what horses (and their owners) face every day.
Why It Matters
Today’s horses are under more stress than ever—from overgrazed pastures to commercial hay, from seasonal shifts to metabolic conditions that often go undetected. Most supplements don’t speak to these deeper imbalances.
We do. Our goal isn’t just to “make another product.”It’s to create readiness, relief, and restoration when your horse needs it most.
Our Mission
To equip every barn and horse owner with the tools, knowledge, and products to support horses through metabolic stress—quickly, effectively, and naturally. And to build a future where emergency care isn’t a scramble—it’s already in the tack room, ready to go.
Our Name
The word "Aterak" stems from ancient roots meaning“to restore through nourishment.” It’s our reminder: Healing isn’t flashy. It’s foundational. It starts with the right inputs, given at the right time, for the right reasons.
