Online one-to-one veterinary guidance
for your horse's digestive health
tailored to your horse, your setup, and your daily reality
For horse owners who want to improve their horse’s digestive health, reduce manageable colic and gastric ulcer risk, and get support while implementing a personalised digestive health management plan.
This one-to-one guidance is for you if
- Your horse has had colic or gastric ulcers, or is currently struggling with ongoing digestive issues such as faecal water syndrome — and you want a more targeted, effective way to support digestive health.
- You work hard to care for your horse, and you know how devastating colic can be — so you want to know what more you could realistically do to support digestive health and reduce avoidable risk wherever possible.
- You feel overwhelmed by general advice, conflicting opinions, and information that may or may not apply to your horse.
- You want to stop feeling left on your own when it comes to putting changes into practice — and feel guided, supported, and reassured as you implement real improvements for your horse’s digestive health.
When this guidance is not for you
- You are looking for a quick fix rather than a thoughtful, long-term approach.
- You want general information, but not an individual assessment of your horse’s situation.
- You are not willing to consider management changes where they are needed.
- You expect information alone to change outcomes without application.
“After my stallion Omar colicked, Dr. Schröder helped me understand what had contributed to it and what I needed to change. Her guidance was incredibly valuable, and I am very grateful for it. That level of guidance when you need it most is very difficult to find, and I really thank her for that. Since then, we have not had colic again, either with him or with the other horses.”
— Pablo, horse breeder
What this one-to-one veterinary guidance gives you
Caring for a horse’s digestive health involves many moving parts — feeding, turnout, workload, stress, routine, and the specific risk factors that apply to your horse individually.
Understanding which of those factors matter most for your horse, and what to do about them in practice, is what this guidance is designed to give you.
By the end of the process, you have a clear, working plan — and the reassurance that your daily management is actively supporting your horse’s digestive health, both now and long-term.
What the guidance includes:
- A detailed veterinary assessment of your horse's current digestive health — covering medical history, feeding, management, training, routine, and the gastrointestinal risk factors relevant to your horse specifically.
- A personalised digestive health management plan, prepared by me as a veterinarian, covering feeding strategy, forage management, turnout, workload, stress, water intake, and daily routine — designed around your horse and the reality of your setup.
- A clear structure for what needs attention, where to begin, and how the different parts of the plan work together — so you are never left wondering what to prioritise or where to start.
- Science-based strategies that are realistic and applicable — not ideal-world recommendations that cannot be translated into your horse's actual daily management.
- One-to-one veterinary guidance throughout implementation, so that as you apply the plan, questions and practical challenges are addressed and you move forward with clarity and confidence at every stage.
How the one-to-one guidance works
The guidance begins with a detailed assessment form, which you receive by email and submit before your first session.
Because I review your horse’s medical history, digestive concerns, feeding, management, training, routine, and setup before we meet, the first session does not start from zero. Instead, we use it to clarify important details and complete the history where needed.
You also leave this first session with the first key points to focus on, including essential information you can begin working with straight away.
Your personalised digestive health management plan is then prepared based on the full assessment and delivered no later than one week after the first session.
The guidance includes three private online sessions in total, each lasting approximately 60 minutes. The process is designed to be systematic and practical: the second session usually takes place around one week after the first, and the third session usually follows two to three weeks later. The full guidance process is completed within five weeks of the first session.
During the sessions, we go through the plan, the strategies behind it, and the practical steps needed to apply it within your horse’s daily management.
As you begin implementing the plan, questions and practical challenges are addressed within the sessions, so you are supported while applying the plan in real life.
After each session, you receive the session recording, a written summary of the key points discussed, and relevant supporting materials where appropriate. These materials help you revisit the explanations whenever needed and keep using the guidance as a reference as you continue applying the plan to support your horse’s digestive health.
The guidance is available in English, Spanish, or German.
“My gelding had recurring issues with bloating. Within just 15 days of applying what I learned, his bloated appearance reduced noticeably and he appeared far more comfortable overall.”
— Elena de la Rasilla, horse owner
How this guidance fits alongside your regular veterinary care
This one-to-one veterinary guidance is designed to complement the work you do with your attending equine clinician. It does not replace clinical examination, diagnosis, treatment, emergency care, or the veterinary follow-up your horse may need locally.
Your attending veterinarian remains the right person for physical examination, diagnostic tests, medical treatment, prescriptions, acute symptoms, and emergency situations.
This guidance focuses on a different but highly important part of digestive health: reviewing your horse’s management in detail, identifying relevant gastrointestinal risk factors, explaining what they mean, and helping you apply practical strategies in daily life. It gives time and structure to the education, prevention-focused thinking, and management implementation that often cannot be explored in depth during routine clinical appointments.
If your horse is currently showing signs of colic, acute illness, or sudden deterioration, please contact your local veterinarian immediately. This guidance is never emergency care.
Who you will be working with
I am Dr. Carolin Schröder, DVM, MSc — a veterinarian with more than 15 years of experience supporting horses and their owners in digestive health, everyday management, and complex welfare-related challenges.
My background brings together veterinary medicine, clinical behavioural medicine and animal welfare, and many years of practical horse management. I help horse owners understand which health risks can be influenced through daily management — and turn that understanding into realistic strategies suited to their own horse’s needs.
This one-to-one guidance reflects the same principles I apply in my veterinary work and in the daily management of my own horses.
“Carolin explains complex topics in a way that finally makes sense. I now feel much calmer and far more confident in the decisions I make for my horse.”
— Elisabet S., horse owner

This guidance is not a single appointment. It is a structured five-week process — thorough, personal, and designed to give your horse’s digestive health the attention it deserves.
It includes everything needed to assess your horse’s situation properly, build a plan that is genuinely tailored to your horse and your setup, and support you while you put it into practice: the pre-session assessment review, three private online sessions, your personalised digestive health management plan, written summaries and recordings after every session, and veterinary guidance throughout implementation.
What you take away at the end is not just information. It is a working plan you understand fully — and the confidence to keep using it long after our work together is finished.
Enquire about one-to-one guidance
If you are interested in one-to-one guidance for your horse, you are welcome to contact me by email at: info@schroderequinecoach.com
An enquiry does not commit you to booking. It simply gives us the opportunity to clarify whether this guidance is the right kind of support for your horse’s situation.
I will reply personally. Depending on your question or your horse’s situation, I may answer by email or suggest a brief call before you decide whether you would like to go ahead.
I take on a limited number of new cases each month so that every horse and owner receives the time and attention they deserve.
