Our Story

Jessica and Brittany are two passionate individuals living in pristine Southern Tasmania and both have big hearts for horses and a passion for all things equine health, hoof care and nutrition.

Jessica holds a Bachelor of Science with a major in Zoology and Plant Science and has studied equine nutrition under Dr Eleanor Kellon (equine Veterinarian) as well as holding a Diploma of Equine Myofunctional therapy. She is a practicing equine bodyworker in Tasmania and offers equine nutritional consults and hoof care services.

Brittany is a qualified general practitioner and holds a Medical Bachelor and a Bachelor of Surgery. She has a special interest in integrative, herbal and nutritional medicine as well as skin cancer medicine and dermatology and has been trimming her own horse’s hooves for over a decade.

Brit and Jess each have their own herds of spoilt horses who inspired their passion and innovation in finding solutions for common equine ailments. They pooled together their collective knowledge, skills and love to develop unique recipes from pure and natural ingredients which they feel confident using to treat their own beloved horses. They happily fell into what is now The Equid Apothecary when they decided to share their products with the world in the hope that they can help horses to live happy and healthy lives in physical and emotional comfort.
