How Equine Chia Began

Equine Chia began with a belief that better health starts with better nutrition.

Our founder, Toby Reed, first discovered chia while transforming his own health. After experiencing firsthand how much whole-food nutrition could affect energy, weight and overall wellness, he began studying how chia could also support animals.

Horses quickly became the heart of that mission.

What started with one simple ingredient has grown into a broader collection of whole-food nutritional products designed to support digestion, hydration, recovery, coat quality and everyday health.

Today, Equine Chia remains a family-owned business based in Denver, Colorado.

Health Starts in the Gut

We believe digestive health is the foundation of a horse’s overall wellness.

When digestion is supported every day, horses are better able to absorb nutrients, maintain hydration, recover from work and support healthy condition from the inside out.

That is why chia remains the foundation of Equine Chia—and why every ingredient we offer is selected to serve a clear nutritional purpose.

Quality You Can Trace

Ingredient quality matters.

We prioritize ingredients that are fresh, traceable and carefully evaluated for quality, cleanliness and suitability.

Our goal is straightforward nutrition without unnecessary sugar, molasses or fillers.

We want horse owners to know what they are feeding and why they are feeding it.

Rooted in Colorado

Equine Chia is a Colorado-based, family-owned company.

We believe small businesses can provide something valuable: thoughtful products, personal support and a genuine relationship with the people they serve.

When you contact Equine Chia, you are reaching a small team that cares about answering questions carefully and helping you make informed choices for your horse.

Ingredients With a Purpose

We do not believe in adding ingredients simply to make a label longer.

Each product or ingredient should have a clear role in a horse’s routine, whether that means supporting digestion, hydration, healthy weight, recovery or everyday nutritional balance.

Our goal is to make it easier for horse owners to build a routine that is practical, understandable and appropriate for their horse.
