Why hair analysis?
Horse hair may reflect elemental composition over a longer period of time, which distinguishes it from tests performed on body fluids.
Different analytical methods provide different types of information and are not directly comparable.

EHAA tests analyze 21 elements in a horse’s body — 13 essential nutrients and 8 toxic elements that can burden the organism of our companions. It is truly worth checking. For the test, I sent a sample of Sanczo’s hair. He has been with us for a few months now. I’ve already come to know his personality and built a bond with him, so understanding what is happening inside his body is incredibly valuable to me. I highly recommend it. Give it a try and see for yourself — it’s truly worth taking care of the health of our companions.

“A horse will never tire of a rider who possesses both feel and sensitivity, because such a rider will never force the horse to do anything beyond its capabilities,” said Nuno Oliveira. For me, the EHAA test is an opportunity to gain an even deeper understanding of and connection with my beloved horses. Its results allow me to structure our work together in such a way that both they and I can experience equal amounts of joy and satisfaction. I recommend it to anyone for whom a horse is a true friend.
