Hi everyone! For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Alana, the founder of The Equine Apothecary. Many of our local followers might already know a little about me, but I thought it would be good to share a little more about my background in natural health and horses, and how The Equine Apothecary came to be.
Horses have been a part of my heart and soul for as long as I can remember. Growing up on a 3,500-acre farm in Western Australia, I spent my childhood surrounded by horses and other animals —nurturing, rescuing, and building connections with them. My first pony, Wendamar Santos, taught me not just how to ride, but how to truly care for and understand horses.
Adult life took me away from horses for a while as I focussed on my career and family. During this time, I also deepened my knowledge and experience in natural human health, which gave me a strong foundation for understanding holistic care for animals too. But when my daughter fell in love with riding, I found my way back to horses —and my passion for natural care grew stronger than ever, now with a broader perspective on equine wellness.
I started The Equine Apothecary because I wanted to give horse owners the tools to care for their horses in a way that respects their unique needs. For me, it’s not just about addressing physical health challenges—it’s about supporting the whole horse: emotionally, physically, and mentally.
Every product and resource I’ve brought to The Equine Apothecary is something I believe in wholeheartedly. My goal is to make natural care accessible and empowering for horse owners everywhere, so they can build stronger bonds with their horses and help them thrive.
I believe that together, we can create a world where horses are cared for in ways that truly honour their wellbeing, allowing them to live healthier, happier lives.
Thank you for trusting me and The Equine Apothecary in being part of your horse care journey.
Warmly,
Alana
