Equine Training and Wellness Services
Equine Complete Packages – Comprehensive Training and Wellness
This bespoke wellness program is our cornerstone service. Each package is designed to deliver high-touch, personalized service. Euki drives to you for your sessions, and the time spent on you and your horse is not limited to the hour duration of a session—it often includes coordination with other care providers, ongoing support between sessions, and hands-on attention tailored to your individual needs.
This service is available in a variety of package options based on frequency. Euki will ideally start with a nutrition analysis for your horse and develop a training program that perfectly suits you and your horse’s unique needs. This program includes rehabilitation training, foundation re-training, lessons, management of adjunct therapies as needed, and the option to include in-depth nutritional support along the way.
Learn the art of developing fine riding and show horses alongside your horse’s developing education and ability.
Lessons and Horse Training
Euki offers in-person, private, semi-private and group riding lessons as well as training (or re-training) services for your horse. Discounted monthly package options are available and start at a minimum frequency of one contact a week. Additional mileage may apply depending on your distance from Boulder and surrounding communities.
Equine Nutrition Analysis*
Diet analysis and consequent adjustments to diet can be a cornerstone to behavior and rehabilitation work. This is a high-touch, full-service approach to equine nutrition and includes:
- An initial consultation
- Hay sampling using a professional hay corer
- Forage analysis and nutrient ratio balancing
- A nutrition program tailored to your horse, and that accounts for:
- Caloric intake, fat, protein, fiber, and sugar/starch levels
- Vitamin and mineral profiles (including micro and macro minerals)
- Mineral ratio balancing (e.g., calcium:magnesium, copper:zinc, etc.)
- Essential amino acids
- Omega 3:6 profiling
- Recommended supplements and precise dosing
- Consideration of herbals and nutraceuticals based on your horse’s unique needs—such as adaptogens, joint support, or natural pain relievers
- A structured delivery program based off of your barn’s feeding times and methodology
- Educational materials and/or discussion to support understanding and adherence. Understand the science behind what you are feeding and why.
- Ongoing support to help implement and maintain the plan when problems arise, including strategies for horses with selective or inconsistent appetites
*At this time, nutrition services are available only to clients enrolled in a monthly training package.
Equine Wellness Consultations
If you are feeling stuck in any way, consider a Wellness Consultation. Consultations are more comprehensive and often take longer than a typical training session. They’re an excellent starting point when you’re seeking a second opinion or need help navigating more complex questions—such as how to move forward with a challenging case, discussing options with your vet, evaluating a new horse, saddle fittings, nutrition considerations, or situations where your horse is struggling but veterinary diagnostics haven’t yielded clear answers.
All consultations are offered as one-time sessions, often with light follow-up included, but without any expectation of an ongoing training commitment.
Clinics and Remote Consultations

Frequently Asked Questions
(If we haven’t answered your question below, please ask!)
Is Adaptive Development EQ right for me and my horse?
If you resonate with Adaptive Development EQ’s philosophy, you may very well have found your new equestrian support network! Whether you or your horse has a specific issue you would like to work on, you know there’s a problem but you just can’t find it, or you are searching for an educational environment to improve your horsemanship and riding skill that is effective, supportive, kind, and has the capability of offering you ongoing inspiration, Adaptive Development EQ welcomes you.
Can you help with a small problem?
Yes. Every horse-and-rider team is unique and needs a customized mix of therapies to resolve pain points—large or small—to build a thriving partnership.
Identifying and Resolving Hidden Issues
Like peeling the layers of an onion, training often uncovers hidden issues as the horse begins to feel or “go” better. These discoveries open the door to performance gains that once seemed out of reach.
If a horse presents with lumbar pain, hock or stifle discomfort, and poor-quality hooves—a common combination in sport horses—we might begin by adjusting training techniques and altering muscle memory. We then add diet changes and hoof improvements to further support biodynamic efficiency. These corrections alone often ease hock and stifle pain, along with other long-term structural issues higher in the body.
The Role of Nutrition in Lasting Change
Nutrition analysis can reveal hidden deficiencies or toxicities from environmental factors, supplement overload, or imbalanced mineral ratios. Correcting nutrition alone can improve muscle tone, coat quality, hoof health, and even temperament.
Sustaining Improvement Over Time
As gaps are filled, results build—even with old injuries once thought irreparable. The best outcomes come from addressing multiple needs over time and making adjustments as the horse continues to improve.
What if my horse has been recommended for retirement?
Every horse will see improvement in this program, though the degree of change varies. Some injuries, illnesses, abuse cases, or long-term neglect are so severe that our goal shifts to pain relief and improving quality of life. That said, many horses have achieved remarkable recoveries when retraining or rehabilitation is introduced.
Working With Challenging Cases
If your horse presents a difficult case, Euki approaches them as she would any horse in her program—openly and with complete transparency. When needed, she assembles a team of veterinarians, farriers, chiropractors, and other specialists to ensure care is coordinated and effective.
Specialized Referrals When Appropriate
For rare, unusual, or non-performance-related conditions, Euki may recommend a specialist better suited to your horse’s needs. She remains available to collaborate with you and your chosen professional on an adapted, therapeutic training plan that makes sense for your horse’s specific circumstances.
Can I implement your methods on my own?
Yes. Euki is passionate about equipping equestrians with the tools they need to reach their goals—whether they work with her long term or not. She shares as much as possible through this site for free, but there are still advantages to hiring her directly.
Why Professional Guidance Matters
Like humans, every part of the horse is interconnected. When problems go unaddressed for a long time, they often require changes in multiple areas. Even a single issue, such as ulcers, may need adjustments to diet, training, and environment to fully resolve. While a “best guess” approach or online research can produce visible improvements, those results are rarely as effective or long-lasting as a tailored plan from a professional.
Maximizing Results and Long-Term Benefits
Euki’s background and experience allow her to combine therapies in ways that deliver the greatest impact and to adjust programs at the right time as the horse improves. This not only speeds up progress but can extend your horse’s comfort, health, and working years—potentially avoiding early retirement.
Every Horse Is Different
The time required for each horse-and-rider combination varies. Visible changes in demeanor, comfort, trainability, or appearance depend on the individual animal, its history, and its response to the program.
