About Us

We offer products that contain just the essentials. Our products are beneficial for all breeds and all classes of horses from pasture pets to performance horses.

Inspired by our silver horses, we are two women who are always seeking better nutritional options for our horses. We created Silver Horse Essentials, LLC to provide whole food solutions for horses. We offer products that contain just the essentials to fill in gaps that domesticated diets have created.

Our goal is to Optimize Equine Nutrition at a reasonable price point. We have a passion for feeding our horses the most balanced and well-rounded diet in the cleanest way possible. The products are free from fillers, soy, additives, GMOs, whey, and dairy. They are beneficial to all classes of horses including pasture pets to performance horses.

Christine Bowden

Christine holds a Master’s degree in Animal Sciences from the University of Vermont with a focus on nutrition and its effects on different endocrine systems. She has worked in the Equine Industry for 19 years as a farrier and saddle fitter helping horses from a whole body approach.

She believes nutrition, digestion, hoof health, saddle fit, proper biomechanics and a relaxed, focused mind are essential to a horse's well being. The philosophy that nothing runs unmingled and that if you skip any one of those aspects, it will negatively impact another is the foundation of her approach.  

Mollie Bachner

Mollie has ridden and trained horses since she was four years old. She has worked at breeding farms and competed through Grand Prix dressage.

Mollie has also trained and competed in competitive trail and endurance races so understands about conditioning and physiological requirements of a horse, specifically from a nutritional perspective. She has seen first hand how diet and nutrition can impact a horse’s performance as well as their quality of life.

Mollie’s holistic approach to horse care and training results is a well-rounded horse with a sound body and mind. Her deeply vested interest and extensive research in providing for the horses in her care has led her down this road to find better solutions for horses’ diets.
